The Best Electric Fires For Media Walls
If you're looking to bring warmth, atmosphere and a focal point to your wall of media, then you should consider an electric fireplace. The majority of them utilize LED lights to create stunning flame effects, while also producing less heat than traditional fireplaces.
They also have features such as open window detection ambient lighting kits, as well as music synchronization.

The best wall electric fires aren't just stunning visual delights, they're also environmentally friendly. By limiting their heat output to just the amount of ambient warmth that you require they consume less energy, which can save you energy costs. The 'flame-only' setting allows you to take pleasure in the hypnotic dancing of the flames, without having to increase the heat. This is perfect for rooms that have low or no need for heat.
Inset vs wall-hung
Inset and wall-mounted media wall electric fireplaces are two of the most popular styles. Inset models such as the Vision Futura 1500 and the Evonic Halo 1500 XT are built into walls, offering a flush finish that blends seamlessly into the surrounding walls. However, inset electric fires require an opening already in place and are a little more expensive than their freestanding counterparts.
The most efficient electric media wall fireplaces, like the Hall and Elgin Pryzm Arteon 3, are wall-hung. They are easy to set up and don't require an existing opening in the wall because they're not recessed into it. Some models come in various finishes and trims that can be customized to fit your style. Wall-mounted models still stand out from the wall and not be suitable for all rooms. They can also hinder the flow of air in smaller rooms because they'll probably radiate heat upwards rather than across the space.
3. Vision Futura 1500
Electric fires are the perfect finish for a media wall. They create an eye-catching focal point that is mesmerising and a joy to be seated in front of. These modern fires are brimming with cutting-edge features that will improve the look of your home. They include a flame-effect-only setting which saves energy, and a cooling option for cool summer nights.
A media wall is a space dedicated to your entertainment system. It could include a TV, sound system or other devices that you frequently use. This is a modern twist on the traditional entertainment centers and can give a sleek, organized aesthetic while freeing up space in the room.
Modern electric fires can be positioned on the wall and, depending on the style, 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 they can look more integrated into your living space. Freestanding fires, like the Gallery Collection Hopton or Dimplex Danville, are perfect for those who don't have an opening in the fireplace. They can also be moved from room-to-room to allow for greater flexibility.
Whatever method of installation you select, always ensure the fire is located close to a power socket so that you can connect it to the power source and test the functions prior to installing. It is also important to place the fire away from flammable substances, as per the regulations.
Remember that most electric fireplaces for wall use provide a low output of heat and should be used in conjunction with your central heating system. They're not suited for heating large spaces that are open and will only make a difference in a chilly room. Some models include a handy remote control with a variety of heat settings and backlighting options to suit your mood and ambience.
4. Evonic Halo 1500 XT
For those with limited space for a fireplace that is freestanding media wall electric fires are a great alternative. These fires are powered with electricity so you don't have to be concerned about gas lines or hauling in logs. You can control them from your couch. They can provide just enough warmth to make your room cozier and less chilly.
These fires are available in different sizes that allows you to pick the one that is most suitable for your wall. Certain models can be fixed directly on the wall, while others are designed to fit in a recess or cavity. Inset models also offer better heat distribution, as they're not blocked by the chimney.
If you choose a front-mounted model, the Evonic Halo 1500 XT (formerly Lita) has a larger flame image to enhance its aesthetic appeal as well as provide an extra dimension to the visual. The range's smart integration is another benefit that lets you control the flame from your phone or tablet using an app. This is helpful for those who are not at home or on the go because it can help save energy.
