Some wall mounted electric fireplaces don't produce any heat and only provide visual flame effects. These are more appropriate for rooms with combustible materials such as curtains or carpets.
While some models can be put directly onto the wall, others will have to be fitted into a specially-designed fireplace insert. It is either necessary to cut a hole into the wall and putting up an additional mantel or installing the unit within an existing fireplace insert. The latter is easier to install and requires less skill.
It's important to remember that any type of electric fire must be placed with plenty of space and clearance around it, particularly when you intend to put a TV over it.
