The majority of wall mounted electric fire places will generate some heat. This is usually accomplished with a space heating system that blasts hot air through a heating element. There are, however, others that do not generate any heat at all and simply provide visual flame effects.

Some models can be mounted directly on the wall. Others will have to be installed inside a specially-designed fireplace insert. It may require cutting an opening in the wall and installing an additional mantel or installing the unit in an existing fireplace insert. The latter is simpler to install, and requires less skill.
It is important to keep in mind that any type of electric fire must be placed with ample clearance and space around it, especially if you plan to place a TV above it.
