Wall Mounted Electric Fires

Yes, these wall mounted electric fires are efficient to operate and are designed to heat a single room rather than your whole house, so they work well as a cosy, targeted heat source. Smaller models such as the 25–26" Sureflame options suit small living rooms or bedrooms, while the 42" Sureflame gives a greater heat spread for a larger lounge. Because they’re electric, you can run them for short periods when you need warmth without firing up central heating.

Match the fire width to the wall run and surrounding furniture: two models sit in the 601–700mm band (roughly 25–26”) and one sits in the 1001–1100mm band (about 42”). A 25–26” fire suits a narrow wall space or sits neatly above a slim media unit, while the 42” option fills a long, low wall or becomes a strong focal point above a larger cabinet. Take into account clearances and visual balance so the fire looks proportionate to your TV or shelving.

Sureflame offers two remote-control black models at very competitive prices, a 26" for the current product price and a 42" for the current product price, giving good value if you want a classic glow and heat. The Be Modern 25" Quattro, priced at the current product price, is positioned as a higher-end option with a more advanced Quattro flame effect and excellent customer ratings, so it’s a better choice if flame realism and premium finish matter to you.

Flame realism varies by model, the Be Modern Quattro explicitly markets an enhanced flame effect for a more natural appearance, while the Sureflame models deliver a homely glow that imitates a traditional fireplace. A wider unit like the 42" shows a broader, more dramatic flame picture, which helps create a stronger focal point in a room. If you want the cosiest mood lighting as well as heat, a premium flame effect will make the biggest visual difference.

Yes, because they let you heat just the room you’re using rather than running central heating for the whole house, they can reduce your overall heating costs for targeted use. How much you save depends on how long you run the fire and the room size, a short evening run in your living room will be far cheaper than keeping central heating on all night. Choosing the right size for the room helps efficiency: a properly sized 25–26” model for a small room, or the 42” for a large lounge, avoids wasting energy.
