Browse our inset electric fire range
Inset electric fires come in a variety of styles, making it easy to find an option that fits your space, layout, and how you want your room to look. Whether you’re working with an existing fireplace opening or planning a new media wall, you can find something that will bring your vision to life.
Standard inset electric fires
Standard inset electric fires are made to fit existing fireplace openings and surrounds. They’re a good option if you want to update a traditional fireplace without changing its size or layout. You get a built-in finish with modern flame effects and electric heating while keeping the overall shape and feel of the original fireplace.
Deep inset electric fires
Deep inset electric fires are designed for larger recesses where extra depth is available. This allows for a more layered flame effect and a stronger visual presence in the room. They’re often chosen when the fire is chosen as a main and natural focal point for the space.
Media wall inset electric fires
Media wall inset electric fires are wide, panoramic models designed to be built into feature walls alongside TVs and storage units. They’re commonly used in modern living rooms to create a single, integrated wall that combines the fire, television, and cabinetry into one clean design.

How our inset electric fireplace service works
Our inset electric fireplace service is clear, supportive, and easy from start to finish. Whether you know exactly what you want or need help choosing the right option, our team is there to guide you at every stage.
Free consultation & space assessment
We look at your room size, layout, and how you want the space to feel. You’ll get clear advice on suitable inset electric fires, expected heat output, and design options that work for your living space. This is your chance to ask questions, compare ideas, and explore what’s possible before making any decisions.
Design and product recommendation
Once we understand your space, we recommend inset electric fires that fit your style and needs. Our recommendations are based on how you use your room, not a one-size-fits-all approach. From there, you’ll get a free, no-obligation quote.
Installation or supply-only option
You can choose full installation or a supply-only service. Our qualified team can fit your inset electric fire safely, making sure everything is set up and ready to use. But if you prefer supply-only, we’ll still provide advice and support so you feel confident with your setup.
Aftercare & warranty
Our service doesn’t end once your fire is installed. Inset electric fires are low maintenance, but you’re still covered with manufacturer warranties and our own service guarantees. If you have questions later or need support, our team is easy to reach and happy to help.

Inset electric fire FAQs
An inset electric fire is made to fit neatly into a fireplace opening or a built-in space like a media wall. It runs on electricity and uses LED lighting to create a realistic flame effect. If you want heat, a built-in electric heater provides it at the touch of a button. There’s no gas, fuel, or chimney involved, so it’s clean, simple, and easy to use.
