By limiting their output of heat to only the amount of ambient warmth you require they consume less energy, which can save you energy costs. The flame-only mode allows you to take pleasure in the hypnotic dance of flames, without having to increase the heat. This is perfect for rooms that have low or no need for heat.
Inset vs. wall-hung
Media wall electric fires come in two main styles: wall-mounted and inset. Inset models, like the Vision Futura 1500 or the Evonic Halo 1500 XT, are recessed into the wall and provide a flush finish, seamlessly merging into the walls surrounding it for a clean appearance. Inset electric fireplaces can be more expensive and require an existing opening.
The best media wall electric fires are wall-hung, like the Hall & Elgin Pryzm Arteon 3SL. They are easy to set up and don't require an existing opening in the wall because they aren't recessed into the wall. They can be more versatile than inset electric fireplaces, with some models featuring various trims and finishes to suit your style. Despite electric media wall fireplaces -hung models may be a little slender from the wall, so they're not suitable for all rooms. They can also restrict the circulation of air in smaller rooms because they'll probably spread heat upwards instead of across the room.
3. Vision Futura 1500
Electric fires can be the perfect finishing touch for the media wall. They create a focal point that is captivating and a delight to sit in front. Modern fires are packed with cutting-edge features that will enhance your home. They have a flame-effect-only setting that saves energy, and a cooling feature for summer nights.
A media wall is a dedicated space to your entertainment setup, typically with a sound and TV system but may include gaming consoles or other devices that you regularly use. This type of space is a modern answer to the entertainment centers of the past. It can offer a sleek, organized look while making floor space available in the room.
The majority of modern electric fires for media walls are affixed to the wall and can be either inset or freestanding depending on the design you pick. An inset fire is designed to be partially inserted into the opening of a fireplace which makes it much easier to install and look more unified with your living spaces. Freestanding fires such as the Gallery Collection Hopton and Dimplex Danville are ideal for those who don't have a fireplace recess and can be moved from room to room for flexibility.
No matter which installation method you choose, always put the fire in proximity to an electrical outlet to ensure you can connect the device to test it before fitting. You'll also want to locate the fire away from any combustible substances, as per the regulations.
Keep in mind that the majority of electric fireplaces for media walls provide a low heat output and are best used as an alternative to central heating systems. They are not suited for heating large spaces, and are able to only warm up the room. Some models come with a convenient remote with multiple heating settings and backlighting options to match your mood or the ambience.

Often, they produce just enough warmth to take the edge off a chilly room and make it more comfortable.
They are available in a variety of sizes, so you can select the one that best suits your media wall. Certain models can be hung directly to the wall, while others are designed to fit into an opening or cavity.
