Inset vs wall-hung
Inset and wall-mounted media wall electric fireplaces are the two most popular designs. Inset models such as the Vision Futura 1500 and the Evonic Halo 1500 XT are built into walls with a flush-finish that blends seamlessly with the surrounding walls. Inset electric fireplaces are more expensive and require an existing opening.
The most effective media wall electric fires are wall-hung, such as the Elgin and Hall Pryzm Arteon 3SL. They are easy to set up and don't require an opening in the wall since they don't have to be recessed into the wall. They are more flexible than inset electric fires with some models offering various finishes and trims to match your style. Wall-mounted models can still protrude from the wall and not work for all styles of rooms. They also can hinder air circulation in smaller rooms as they will likely radiate heat upwards rather than across the space.

Modern electric fires can be positioned on the wall, and based on the design, they can be freestanding or inset. Inset fires are designed to be partially inserted into the fireplace opening, which makes it easier to install and can look more integrated in your living spaces. Freestanding fires like 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 make it more flexible.
Whatever method of installation you decide to use, always put the fire in proximity to a power socket to ensure that you are able to connect the device and test it before installing. It is also important to place the fire away from flammable materials, as per regulations.
Remember that most electric fireplaces designed for media wall offer a small amount of heat and should be used to supplement your central heating system.
