Inset vs. wall-hung
Wall-mounted and inset wall-mounted electric fireplaces are the two most popular types. Inset models such as the Vision Futura 1500 and the Evonic Halo 1500 XT are built into walls, offering a flush finish that blends seamlessly with the walls surrounding it. However, inset electric fireplaces require a pre-existing opening and can be a bit more expensive than their freestanding counterparts.
The most effective media wall electric fires are wall-hung, such as the Hall & Elgin Pryzm Arteon 3SL. Because they aren't inset into the wall, they don't require an opening that already exists and are relatively cheap to put up. They can be more versatile than inset electric fireplaces, with some models featuring various trims and finishes to suit your decor. However wall-hung models are able to be a little slender from the wall, which means they may not be suitable for all rooms. They can also hinder the flow of air in smaller rooms because they'll probably spread heat upwards rather than across the space.

An inset fire is designed to be partially inserted into the opening of a fireplace, which makes it easier to install and look more integrated in your living spaces.
