Heat output
In contrast to gas or wood burning fires, media wall electric fires do not emit a lot of heat. They provide a warm glow without increasing your energy costs.

Making use of masking tape to create a mock-up of the wall can help you visualize the space it will take and give you confidence that you’ve chosen the right size. Make sure to account for any clearances that are required, too. Certain models require a certain distance between the fireboxes and combustible material such as drywall.
Another factor to consider when selecting a wall-mounted electric fireplace for your media is whether you’d like to choose a built-in or inset design. Built-in models offer a more traditional aesthetic and include the option to open up the front of the fireplace for greater visual impact. However, inset models could require more extensive installation, which may involve hollowing out a part of the wall, or constructing an stud wall.
Both types of electric fires offer distinct advantages, but you’ll want to consider your heating needs before making a decision. Inset models tend to be more efficient with the distribution of heat and some models even include a thermostat that is programmable for even temperature control.
