Overview

Electactic builds this thin insert with an infrared heater, an LED flame display and tempered glass. It can be recessed flush, partly recessed or wall mounted, and it ships with a log set and a remote.

A shallow chamber and flexible mounting suit many rooms. The limitation is that care and cleaning instructions are not given.

Who it's for

Homeowners adding a vent-free fireplace feature will use the recess option. Anyone needing whole-room heat should choose a dedicated heater.
