The Best Electric Fires For Media Walls
Electric fires are an excellent way to provide warmth, ambience, and a focal piece to your wall of media. The majority of them make use of LED lights to produce stunning flame effects, as well as offering lower heat output than traditional fireplaces.
They also include features like open window detection and ambient light kits that sync with your music to create a stunning visual experience.

The best wall electric fires aren't just amazing visual delights, they're also eco-friendly. By limiting their output of heat to only the amount of ambient warmth you require, they use less energy, thereby saving money on your electric bills. The 'flame-only' setting allows you to experience the hypnotic dance of the flames without the need to increase the heat. This is perfect for rooms that have low or no requirement for heat.
Inset vs. wall-hung
Inset and wall-mounted media wall electric fireplace s are the two main designs. Inset models like the Vision Futura 1500 and the Evonic Halo 1500 XT are recessed into a wall with a flush-finish that blends seamlessly with the surrounding walls. However, inset electric fires require an opening already in place and can be a bit more expensive than their free-standing counterparts.
The best media wall electric fires are wall-hung, like the Hall & Elgin Pryzm Arteon 3SL. They are easy to install and don't require an opening in the wall because they aren't recessed into the wall. They can be more versatile than inset electric fires with some models featuring an array of trims and finishes to suit your style. Despite this wall-hung models are able to be a little slender from the wall, meaning they may not be suitable for all room designs. They can also hinder air circulation in smaller rooms since they are likely to disperse heat upwards instead of across the space.
3. Vision Futura 1500
A fireplace with electric technology can be the perfect addition to a wall of media and creates a captivating focal point that is a pleasure to be seated in front of. Modern fires are packed with plenty of modern features to improve your home, such as an exclusive flame effect which saves energy as well as an air-cooling feature which is ideal for hot summer evenings.
A media wall is an area that is dedicated to your entertainment setup. It may include an audio system, TV or other devices that you frequently use. This type of space is a modern answer to the entertainment centers of the past and can offer a sleek, organised aesthetic while also freeing up floor space in the room.
Modern electric fires can be placed on the wall, and depending on the design, they can either be freestanding or inset. Inset fires are designed to be placed partially into a fireplace opening. This makes them much easier to install, and they are more aesthetically pleasing in your living space. Freestanding fires, like the Gallery Collection Hopton or Dimplex Danville, are perfect for those who do not have a fireplace recess. They can be moved from room to place to allow for greater flexibility.
Regardless of the installation method you select, always ensure the fire is close to a power socket so that you can connect it to the power source and test its functions prior to fitting. According to the regulations, you'll want to keep the fire away from combustible materials.
Be aware that the majority of electric fireplaces for media walls offer an insignificant amount of heat and are best used as an additional source of heat to your central heating systems. They're not suited for heating large spaces that are open and can only make a difference in a chilly room. Some models include a handy remote control that has several different settings for heating and backlighting to match your mood and atmosphere.
4. Evonic Halo 1500 XT
If you have a small space for a fireplace that is freestanding media wall electric fires are a great alternative. Instead of having to haul in logs or mess with gas lines, these fires are powered by electricity and offer an amazing display of flames that can be controlled from the comfort of your sofa. Often, they produce just enough warmth to ease the chill of a chilly room and make it cosier.
They are available in different sizes, so you can select the one that is most suitable for your media wall. Certain models can be hung directly on the wall, while others are designed to fit into a recess or cavity. Inset models also tend to offer better heat distribution because they're not blocked by chimneys.
If you choose a front-mounted model one of the Evonic Halo 1500 XT (formerly Lita) features an extended 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, allowing you to control the fire from your smartphone or tablet via an app. This is helpful for those who are not at home or on the go and helps save energy.
