Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Clearion a see-through fireplace?

Yes. It is a two-sided electric unit that installs inside a wall and is viewed from both rooms, so the flame is visible from either side.

Where do you get the installation manual?

The installation manual and the spec sheet are both linked in this article as PDFs, and a printed copy ships in the box.

Does the Clearion need venting?

No. It is electric, so nothing burns and there is no flue, vent or chimney to plan for.

Can you install it yourself?

The framing and the fitting are within reach of an experienced DIY builder. The electrical connection is not a plug-in cord, so have an electrician make the final connection unless you are licensed to do it.

What wall depth does it need?

The rough opening dimensions are given in the installation manual linked above. Frame to those figures rather than to the unit's outside dimensions, because the opening is deliberately larger.

What is the difference between a two-sided and a three-sided electric fireplace?

A two-sided unit shows the flame through two opposite faces, so it passes through a wall between two rooms. A three-sided unit adds a short end, so it turns a corner or caps a peninsula and is viewed from a bay.
