Inset models, like the Vision Futura 1500 or the Evonic Halo 1500 XT, are recessed into the wall and provide a smooth finish, blends into the wall to create a neat appearance. However, inset electric fires require a pre-existing opening and can be more expensive than freestanding counterparts.

Since they don't sit inset into the wall, they don't require an opening that already exists and are comparatively inexpensive to install. They are more flexible than inset electric fires with some models offering an array of trims and finishes to suit your decor.

They also can hinder air flow in smaller rooms since they are likely to radiate heat upwards rather than across the room. 3.
