The Best Electric Fires For Media Walls
Electric fires are a great option to create warmth, ambience and a focal point to your media wall. A majority of electric fires make use of LED lights to create stunning flame effects, in addition to offering lower heat output than traditional fireplaces.
They also include features like open window detection and ambient light kits that can be synced with your music to create an amazing visual experience.

The signature logs are crafted to the highest quality and rest comfortably on top of wood chips and husks which create a rustic ambience.

The best media wall electric fireplaces are not only beautiful visual delights, but they're also eco-friendly. By reducing their heat output to only the amount of ambient warmth that you require, they use less energy, which can save you money on your electric bills. The flame-only mode allows you to take pleasure in the hypnotic dance of flames, without the need to increase the heat. This is perfect for rooms that have little or no requirement for heat.
Inset vs wall-hung
Inset and wall-mounted media wall electric fireplaces are the two main styles. Inset models like the Vision Futura 1500 and the Evonic Halo 1500 XT are installed into walls, offering a flush finish that blends seamlessly with the walls surrounding it. However, inset electric fireplaces require an opening that is already in place and can be a bit more expensive than their free-standing counterparts.
The best media wall electric fires are wall-hung, such as the Elgin & Hall 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. There are models that come with a variety of finishes and trims which can be customised to your decor. However, wall-hung models can protrude slightly from the wall, meaning they might not be suitable for every room. They can also hinder the circulation of air in smaller spaces, as they'll likely disperse the heat upwards rather than across the room.
3. Vision Futura 1500
A fireplace with electric technology can be the perfect finishing touch to a wall of media and creates a captivating focal point that is a pleasure to sit in front of. Modern fires are packed with cutting-edge features that will enhance your home. They include a flame-effect-only setting that saves energy, and a cooling feature for summer nights.
A media wall is a space dedicated to your entertainment setup. It may include an audio system, TV or other gadgets that you use frequently. This kind of space is a modern answer to the entertainment centers of the past and can give a sleek and organized look while making floor space available in the room.
The majority of modern electric fireplaces for media walls are mounted to the wall and are either freestanding or inset based on the design you pick. An inset fire is designed to be inserted into the fireplace opening, which makes it easier to install and look more integrated in your living spaces. Freestanding fires, such as 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 room to allow for greater flexibility.
Whatever method of installation you choose, make sure the fire is located close to a power socket to allow you to connect it to the power source and test its functions prior to installing. According to the regulations, you'll want to keep the fire away from flammable material.
Keep in mind that most electric fireplaces for media walls have a low heat output and are best used to add an alternative to central heating systems. They aren't suitable for heating large spaces that are open and will help to cool the chill of a room. Some models include a handy remote with a variety of options for backlighting and heat settings to match your mood or the ambience.
4. Evonic Halo 1500 XT
For those with limited space for a fireplace that is freestanding media wall electric fires are the perfect alternative. Instead of having to bring in logs and fiddle 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 couch. They can provide enough warmth to make a room more comfortable and less cold.
They are available in a variety of sizes, so you can select the one that will best fit your media wall. Some models can be mounted directly on the wall while others are designed to fit in a recess or cavity. Inset models are more likely to offer better heat distribution because they do not block a chimney.

The range's smart integration feature is another selling point that lets you control the fire from your smartphone or tablet through an app. This is beneficial when you're out and about or away from home, allowing you to save energy when the fire isn't being used.
