The majority of wall mounted electric fire places generate some heat. This is usually accomplished with the space heating system which blasts hot air through a heating component. There are, however, some that don't produce any heat and simply provide visual flame effects. This is better for rooms with combustible materials such as curtains or carpets.

While certain models can be mounted directly on the wall, others will have to be fitted into a specially-designed fireplace insert. It will either require cutting a hole into the wall and installing an edging or a mantel, or putting the unit inside an existing fireplace in wall insert. The latter is simpler to install and requires less skill.

Be sure to install any electric fire that has ample space and clearance around it, especially if you intend to place an electronic television over it. You'll want to make sure that the mounting area is free of any combustible material and that children or pets can safely access it.

If you turn off the heater and use it to create an effect of flames and not use it for cooking, the cost of running it is just a few cents a day.
