They consume less energy and can help you save money by reducing the output of heat to what you need. The 'flame-only' setting allows you to enjoy the hypnotic dancing of the flames, without having to increase the heat. This is ideal for rooms that have low or no need for heating.
Inset vs wall-hung
Wall-mounted and inset wall-mounted electric fireplaces are the two most popular styles. Inset models, such as the Vision Futura 1500 or the Evonic Halo 1500 XT, are built into the wall and offer a smooth finish, blends into the wall to create a neat appearance. However, inset electric fireplaces require an opening that is already in place and can be more expensive than their free-standing counterparts.
The most effective media wall electric fires are wall-hung, including the Elgin & Hall Pryzm Arteon 3SL. They are simple to install and don't require an existing opening in the wall as they aren't recessed into the wall. Some models come in various finishes and trims that can be customised to match your decor. However wall-hung models may appear to be a bit out of the wall, so they may not be suitable for every room. They can also restrict the flow of air in smaller spaces, as they'll likely spread heat upwards instead of across the room.
3. Vision Futura 1500
Electric fires are the perfect finishing touch for a media wall. They create an eye-catching focal point that is mesmerising and enjoyable to be seated in front of. These modern fires are packed with cutting-edge features that will enhance your home. They include a flame-effect-only setting which saves energy, and a cooling feature to cool the summer evenings.
media fireplace is a space specifically designed for your entertainment system. It may include the TV, sound system or other equipment that you regularly use. It's a modern take on the old entertainment centers and can offer a sleek, organized aesthetic while allowing space to be freed up in the room.
Modern electric fires can be placed on the wall and, depending on the design, they can be inset or freestanding. Inset fires are designed to be inserted partially into a 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 or Dimplex Danville are great for those who do not have a fireplace recess. They can also be moved from room-to-room to make it more flexible.
No matter which installation method you choose, always put the fire in proximity to a power socket to ensure that you are able to connect the device to test it before installing. You'll also want to locate the fire away from combustible substances, as per the regulations.
Remember that the majority of electric fireplaces designed for media wall have a limited output of heat, and are best used to supplement your central heating system. They aren't suitable for heating large, open spaces and will only make a difference in an icy room. Some models come with a convenient remote with a variety of heating settings and backlighting options to suit your mood or ambience.
