Built-in Heater, All Season Use

Enjoy the fireplace's beauty with or without heat in any season or climate. The Sideline Elite Electric Fireplace adds a cozy feel with convenient heat and flame controls. The two heat settings warm up to 400 square feet, though it's not designed as a primary heat source. The front glass remains cool, ensuring a safer experience compared to wood or gas fireplaces. It's perfect for homes with children and pets or where wood burning fireplaces are restricted.

Easy Installation and Use

The slim Sideline Elite can be recessed into the wall or wall-mounted with a depth of 5 1/2 inches. It's a hassle-free addition to any room, and installation instructions are provided. The fireplace can be plugged into a standard outlet or hardwired by a professional. Place the Sideline Elite at least 8 inches below the ceiling or a mounted flat-screen TV to provide clearance from the heater unit. We recommend placing the fireplace at least 6 inches from the floor.
