Inset vs. wall-hung
Wall-mounted and inset wall-mounted electric fireplaces are the two main styles. Inset models, like the Vision Futura 1500 or the Evonic Halo 1500 XT, are built into the wall and offer a smooth finish, blends into the surrounding walls for a clean appearance. However, inset electric fireplaces require an opening already in place and can be a bit more expensive than their free-standing counterparts.
The most effective electric media wall fires like the Elgin and Hall Pryzm Arteon 3 are wall-hung. Since they don't sit inset into the wall, they don't need an opening in the wall and are relatively inexpensive to put up. They are more adaptable than inset electric fires, with some models offering an array of designs and trims to fit your decor. 3 sided fire media wall -mounted models can still protrude from the wall and not suit all room designs. They also can hinder the flow of air in smaller rooms because they'll likely radiate heat upwards instead of across the room.
