- Does this fireplace need venting or a gas line?
- No. It is an electric unit that plugs into a standard outlet, so there is no venting, flue or gas connection.
- Is the flame real?
- No. The flames are a simulated LED-style effect. The unit produces heat from a fan heater, not from burning fuel.
- Can I use the flames without the heat?
- Yes. Flame effects and heating are separate settings, so you can run the look alone in warmer months.
- How much space does it heat?
- It is a supplemental zone heater for a room, not a whole-home system. It works best in a small to medium room.
- What comes in the box?
- The flat-pack mantel and firebox parts, the remote control and the hardware and instructions for assembly.
- Does it need assembly?
- Yes. The mantel arrives flat-packed and must be put together before the insert is fitted.
