Inset vs wall-hung
Media wall electric fires are available in two basic designs: wall-mounted and inset. Inset models such as the Vision Futura 1500 and the Evonic Halo 1500 XT are installed into walls, offering a flush finish that blends seamlessly into the walls surrounding it. Inset electric fireplaces are more expensive and require an opening already in place.
The best wall electric media fires are wall-hung, including the Hall & Elgin Pryzm Arteon 3SL. They are simple to install and don't require an existing opening in the wall because they're not recessed into it. There are models that come with various finishes and trims that can be customised to fit your style. Despite this, wall-hung models can protrude slightly from the wall, which means they may not be suitable for every room. They can also restrict the flow of air in smaller spaces because they'll likely spread heat upwards rather than across the room.

The majority of modern electric fires for media walls are affixed to the wall and are either inset or freestanding depending on the style you select. Inset fires are designed to be inserted into the fireplace opening making it simpler to install and looks more unified in your living spaces. Freestanding fires such as the Gallery Collection Hopton and Dimplex Danville are ideal for those who do not have a fireplace recess and can be moved between rooms to allow for greater flexibility.
Regardless of the installation method you decide to use, ensure that the fire is located near a power outlet so that you can connect it to the power source and test all functions prior to fitting. According to the regulations, you'll want to place the fire away from any combustible material.
Keep in mind that most electric fireplaces for media walls offer a low heat output and are best used as an alternative to central heating systems.
