Overview
Recessing into a wall or mounting on its surface, the Aerus is a linear electric fireplace with a metal body and a quartz heating element. A multicolor flame display and a media kit arrive together with the remote.
A slim profile lets the fireplace blend into a wall instead of projecting into the room, and the supplemental heater means it warms a space as well as decorating it. The limits are practical: heating coverage appears without a unit, and the listed weight is considerable for a wall.
Who it's for
A home with a wall that can take a recessed or surface-mounted unit, in a bedroom, living room or office. Not suited to anyone wanting a freestanding heater to move between rooms, since the listing describes a wall installation.
Pros and cons
- Recessed or wall-mounted installation
- Supplemental heater built in
- Multicolor flame display
- WiFi smart control
- Heating coverage unit not listed
- Heavy for a wall
- Cutout dimensions missing
- Assembly detail lives in a guide
Performance notes
Heat comes from a quartz element rated as supplemental, so it adds warmth to a room rather than replacing a main heating system. With no vent, the heat stays in the room. The thin profile limits how much depth the unit needs in a wall.

Frequently asked questions
Can the Modern Ember Aerus be recessed into a wall?
Yes. The assembly note says to follow the included mounting guide to wall-mount or recess it, and to connect via plug-in or hardwire per installation preference. Required wall cutout dimensions are not given in the listing.
Does the Aerus fireplace come with a remote?
Yes. Included components are the electric fireplace, a media kit and a remote control.
Does the Aerus electric fireplace need a vent or chimney?

Is the Aerus meant to heat a whole room?
The listing calls the heater supplemental. Heating coverage shows 400 with no unit, so treat it as extra warmth, not a main heat source.
