Inset vs wall-hung
Inset and wall-mounted media wall electric fireplaces are the two main types. Inset models such as the Vision Futura 1500 and the Evonic Halo 1500 XT are recessed into a wall with a flush-finish that blends seamlessly into the walls surrounding it. Inset electric fireplaces are more expensive and require an opening.
The most effective media wall electric fires are wall-hung, including the Elgin and Hall Pryzm Arteon 3SL. As they're not inset into the wall, they don't require an opening in the wall and are relatively cheap to put up. They are more flexible than inset electric fireplaces, with some models offering various trims and finishes to suit your style. Wall-mounted models can still protrude from the wall and may not be suitable for all rooms. They also can hinder air circulation in smaller rooms since they are likely to radiate heat upwards rather than across the room.

Modern electric fires can be positioned on the wall, and based on the style, they can be freestanding or inset. Inset fires are designed to be partially inserted into the fireplace opening. This makes them simpler to install and can look more integrated into your living space. Freestanding fires such as the Gallery Collection Hopton and Dimplex Danville are great for those who don't have a fireplace recess and can be moved between rooms to make it more flexible.
Whatever method of installation you select, always ensure the fire is located near a power outlet so that you can connect it to the power source and test its functions prior to fitting. You should also ensure that you place the fire away from combustible materials, as per regulations.
