Built-in electric fireplace inserts are great if you’re looking for a more permanent option for your entertainment center.

These types of inserts typically comes as a direct-wire option meaning that they will need to be wired into your home electrics, although some models can come with a plug-kit or can be ordered as an optional extra to allow you to plug them straight into an electrical outlet instead.

Built-in inserts are also typically zero clearance meaning you don’t need to leave space at the back. This can mean that built-in electric fireplaces can be installed into an entertainment center more effectively.
