They consume less energy and can help you save money by limiting the amount of heat output to what you need. The "flame only" setting allows you to enjoy the hypnotic dance of the flames without having to turn up the heating, perfect for rooms that don't need the most heat.
Inset vs. wall-hung
Inset and wall-mounted media wall electric fireplaces are two of the most popular designs. Inset models such as the Vision Futura 1500 and the Evonic Halo 1500 XT are recessed into a wall, 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. Because they aren't set into the wall, they don't need an opening in the wall and are comparatively inexpensive to install. They are more flexible than inset electric fires, with some models featuring various designs and trims to fit your style. However wall-hung models are able to be a little slender from the wall, which means they're not suitable for every room. They can also restrict the flow of air in smaller rooms because they'll likely spread heat upwards instead of across the space.
3. Vision Futura 1500
Electric fires can be the perfect addition to the media wall. They create an eye-catching focal point that is mesmerising and a joy to be in front of. These modern fires are brimming with modern features that can improve the look of your home.

A media wall is a dedicated area for your entertainment setup, usually equipped with a TV and a sound system, but could also contain gaming consoles or other devices that you regularly use. This is a modern take on the traditional entertainment centers and can offer a sleek, organized aesthetic while allowing space to be freed up in the room.
The majority of modern electric fireplaces for media walls are mounted to the wall and are either freestanding or inset depending on the design you choose. Inset fires are designed to be placed partially in a fireplace opening. This makes them easier to install, and they can look more integrated into your living space. Freestanding fires like the Gallery Collection Hopton and Dimplex Danville are great for those who don't have a fireplace recess. They can be moved between rooms to make it more flexible.
No matter which installation method you choose, always place the fire near a power socket to ensure you can connect the device and test it before fitting. In accordance with the regulations, you'll want to place the fire away from combustible material.
Keep in mind that most electric fires for media walls have an insignificant amount of heat and are ideal for an additional source of heat to your central heating systems. They are not suited to heat large open spaces, and can only warm the room. Some models come with a handy remote control with several heating settings and backlighting options to match your mood and atmosphere.
