Inset vs. wall-hung
Wall-mounted and inset wall-mounted electric fireplaces are the two main types. Inset models, like the Vision Futura 1500 or the Evonic Halo 1500 XT, are built into the wall. They offer a flush finish, seamlessly blends into the surrounding walls for a clean appearance. Inset electric fireplaces are more costly and require an existing opening.
The best electric media wall fires, like the Elgin and Hall Pryzm Arteon 3, are wall-hung. They are easy to install and don't require an opening in the wall because they aren't recessed into the wall. Some models come in various trims and finishes which can be customised to match your decor. Wall-mounted models can still protrude from the wall and may not be suitable for all rooms. They can also hinder the flow of air in smaller spaces because they tend to radiate heat upwards rather than across the room.

A media wall is a space specifically designed for your entertainment system. It could include an audio system, TV or other equipment that you regularly use. This type of space is a modern response to the entertainment centers of the past and can give a sleek and well-organized look while also freeing up floor space in the room.
Modern electric fires can be placed on the wall and, depending on the design, they can either be inset or freestanding. An inset fire is designed to be partially inserted into the opening of a fireplace making it simpler to install and looks more unified in your living spaces. Freestanding fires like the Gallery Collection Hopton and Dimplex Danville are great for those who don't have a fireplace recess and can be moved from room to room to allow for greater flexibility.
No matter what method of installation you choose, always place the fire near the power outlet to ensure you can plug in the device and test it before installing. In accordance with the regulations, you'll want to place the fire away from combustible material.
Keep in mind that the majority of electric fireplaces for media walls have only a small amount of heat output and are best used as supplementary heating to your central heating systems. They're not suited for heating large, open spaces and can only help to cool the chill of a room. Some models include a handy remote with multiple heating settings and backlighting options to suit your mood or atmosphere.

Inset models also provide better heat distribution since they aren't obstructed by chimneys.
