The Best Electric Fires For Media Walls
If you're looking to add warmth, ambience and a focal point to your media wall, you should consider an electric fire. A majority of electric fires utilize LED lights to create dazzling flame effects, in addition to offering lower heat output than traditional fireplaces.
These devices also have features like open window detection ambient lighting kits, as well as music synchronization.

Inset vs. wall-hung
Wall-mounted and inset wall-mounted electric fireplaces are two of the most popular designs. Inset models, like the Vision Futura 1500 or the Evonic Halo 1500 XT, are recessed into the wall and offer an elegant flush finish, blending in with the wall for a clean appearance. However, inset electric fires require a pre-existing opening and can be more expensive than freestanding counterparts.
The most efficient electric media wall fires like the Elgin & Hall Pryzm Arteon 3, are wall-hung. Since they don't sit set into the wall, they don't need an opening in the wall and are relatively inexpensive to install. They are more adaptable than inset electric fireplaces, with some models offering an array of finishes and trims to match your style. However, wall-hung models can protrude slightly from the wall, which means they might not be suitable for all room designs. They can also restrict the flow of air in smaller rooms because they'll likely radiate heat upwards instead of across the room.

Modern electric fires for media walls are affixed to the wall and are either freestanding or inset based on the style you select. Inset fires are designed to be inserted into the opening of a fireplace, which makes it easier to install and looks more integrated in your living spaces. Freestanding fires, such as the Gallery Collection Hopton or Dimplex Danville are great for those who don't have an opening in the fireplace. They can be moved from room to place to allow for greater flexibility.
No matter what method of installation you decide to use, ensure that the fire is near a power outlet to allow you to plug it in and test all functions prior to installing. As per guidelines, you'll need to place the fire away from flammable material.
