The Best Electric Fires For Media Walls
Electric fires are an excellent way to create warmth, ambience and create a focal point for your wall. Most electric fireplaces employ LED lights to create stunning fire effects. They also offer a lower amount of heat compared to traditional fireplaces.
These devices also have features such as open window detection ambient lighting kits, as well as music synchronization.

The best media wall electric fireplaces aren't just visually stunning, but they're also eco-friendly. By reducing their heat output to only the amount of ambient warmth you require they consume less energy, saving you energy costs. The "flame only" setting lets you enjoy the hypnotic dance of flames without having to increase the heat, which is ideal for rooms that don't need lots of heat.
Inset vs. wall-hung
Media wall electric fires come in two main styles: wall-mounted and inset. Inset models such as the Vision Futura 1500 and the Evonic Halo 1500 XT are built into walls with a flush-finish that blends seamlessly into the walls surrounding it. However, inset electric fires require a pre-existing opening and are a little more expensive than their 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 require an opening that already exists and are relatively inexpensive to install. They are more flexible than inset electric fireplaces, with some models offering a wide range of different finishes and trims to match your decor. However wall-hung models are able to protrude slightly from the wall, which means they might not be suitable for all rooms. They also can hinder the circulation of air in smaller rooms because they'll probably disperse the heat upwards rather than across the space.
3. Vision Futura 1500
Electric fires are the perfect finishing touch for an entertainment wall. They create an element of interest that is mesmerising and enjoyable to be in front of. Modern fires are packed with plenty of new features to add value to your home with, including an exclusive flame effect that saves energy and an air-cooling feature that is perfect for hot summer nights.
A media wall is an area that is dedicated to your entertainment system. It may include an audio system, TV or other gadgets that you use frequently. This is a modern twist on the old entertainment centres and can provide a sleek, organized aesthetic while allowing space to be freed up in the room.
Modern electric fires can be mounted on the wall and, depending on the design, they can either be freestanding or inset. Inset fires are designed to be partially inserted into a fireplace opening which makes it much easier to install and look more unified with your living spaces. Freestanding fires, such as the Gallery Collection Hopton or Dimplex Danville are great for those who do not have a fireplace recess. They can also be moved from room to room for flexibility.
No matter what method of installation you choose, always put the fire in proximity to an electrical outlet to ensure that you are able to connect the device and test it before fitting. In accordance with the guidelines, you'll need to keep the fire away from any combustible materials.
Be aware that the majority of electric fireplaces for wall use have a limited output of heat and should be utilized to complement your central heating system. They're not suitable for heating large spaces that are open and can only take the edge off a chilly room. Some models come with a handy remote control with several heat settings and backlighting options to match your mood and atmosphere.
4. Evonic Halo 1500 XT
For those who have limited space for a fireplace that is freestanding, media wall electric fires are a great alternative. Instead of having to bring in logs and mess with gas lines, these fires are powered by electricity and offer stunning flames that you can control from the comfort of your sofa. They can provide just enough warmth to make a room cozier and less chilly.
They are available in different sizes and shapes, so you can pick the one that best suits your wall. The majority are designed to be placed into a cavity or recess but some are mounted directly on the wall for an elegant look. Inset models tend to have better heat distribution because they do not block the chimney.
If you go for an item that is mounted on the front the Evonic Halo 1500 XT (formerly Lita) boasts an extended flame image to enhance its aesthetic appeal and provide extra visual depth. Smart integration that lets you manage your fire through an app on your phone or tablet, is another selling point.
