Inset vs wall-hung
Media wall electric fires are offered in two basic styles: inset and wall-mounted. Inset models, such as the Vision Futura 1500 or the Evonic Halo 1500 XT, are recessed into the wall. They offer a flush finish, seamlessly merging into the surrounding walls for a clean appearance. However, inset electric fireplaces require an opening already in place and can be a bit more expensive than their freestanding counterparts.
The best wall electric media fires are wall-hung, such as the Elgin and Hall Pryzm Arteon 3SL. They are simple to install and don't require an existing opening in the wall because they're not recessed into it. They are more flexible than inset electric fireplaces, with some models offering an array of finishes and trims to match your style. Wall-mounted models can still protrude from the wall and not be suitable for all rooms. They can also restrict air circulation in smaller rooms since they are likely to radiate heat upwards rather than across the room.
