The Best Wall-Mounted Electric Fires (UK 2026)
A wall-mounted electric fire hangs on the wall like a picture - no recess, no building work, just a bracket and a socket. Here's what to look for and our top wall-mounted picks.
Quick answer
Wall-mounted fires are the easiest way to get a modern fireplace look. They fix to the wall with a supplied bracket and plug in, so there's no recess to build. M.C.Haus, Klarstein, Baridi and FLAMEKO all offer good options. Check the wall type before ordering - plasterboard needs appropriate fixings or fixing into studs - and plan where the cable will run, since a trailing lead spoils the effect.
What to look for
Confirm the fixing method and the weight, then check your wall can take it: solid masonry is straightforward, plasterboard needs proper hollow-wall fixings or mounting into studs. Think about the cable - some models allow it to exit at the side or be routed behind, and a socket positioned behind or below the fire keeps things tidy. Then judge the flame effect, heat output and controls as normal. A remote is particularly useful on a high-mounted fire.

Frequently asked questions
Can you mount an electric fire on a plasterboard wall?
Usually yes, but not with standard screws. Either fix into the timber studs behind the plasterboard, or use proper heavy-duty hollow-wall fixings rated for the fire's weight. Check the fire's weight in the specifications and the fixings supplied, as many include only basic screws. If in doubt about the wall construction or the weight, get it fitted professionally - a falling fire is a serious hazard.
How do you hide the cable on a wall-mounted electric fire?
The tidiest solution is a socket positioned directly behind or just below the fire so the cable is concealed by the unit itself. Otherwise, trunking painted to match the wall, or routing the cable within the wall, both work - though running a cable inside a wall should be done by a qualified electrician. Some models let you choose which side the cable exits, which helps you reach the nearest socket neatly.
