Inset electric fireplaces can be more expensive and require an existing opening.
The most effective media wall electric fires are wall-hung, such as the Elgin & Hall Pryzm Arteon 3SL. Since they don't sit inset into the wall, they don't need a pre-existing opening and are relatively cheap to put up. They can be more versatile than inset electric fireplaces, with some models offering a wide range of different trims and finishes to suit your style. Wall-mounted models still stand out from the wall and may not be suitable for all rooms. They can also hinder air circulation in smaller rooms because they tend to disperse heat upwards instead of across the room.

Modern electric fireplaces for media walls are mounted to the wall and can be either inset or freestanding depending on the design you choose. An inset fire is designed to be inserted partially into the opening of a fireplace which makes it much easier to install and look more unified in your living spaces. Freestanding fires such as the Gallery Collection Hopton and Dimplex Danville are ideal for those without a fireplace recess. They can be moved between rooms to allow for greater flexibility.
No matter what method of installation you decide to use, always put the fire in proximity to a power socket to ensure that you can connect the device to test it prior to fitting. You'll also want to locate the fire away from flammable substances, as per the regulations.
