Dimplex Electric Fireplace Inserts for Existing Fireplace Openings

A Dimplex electric fireplace insert turns a wood-burning fireplace you no longer use into an electric one. It sits inside the existing opening, leaves the brick, surround and mantel as they are, and needs no venting, no chimney and no gas line, only power nearby.

Four Ways to Fill an Existing Opening

Built-in fireboxes. The Deluxe and Revillusion fireboxes and the Ignite Aspire slide into an existing fireplace opening or a new framed one, with log sets and traditional interiors that read like a wood-burning fireplace. Optional trim kits close the gap between the firebox and the opening.
Standard insert. A smaller firebox sized to fit many existing wood fireplace openings, with an optional expandable trim to finish the edges.
Plug-in log sets. A log set with the flame built in, placed in the empty fireplace and plugged in. It is the quickest conversion because the original opening stays fully visible.
Plug-in firebox. A self-contained firebox that plugs into a standard outlet, so it needs no hardwiring.

Measuring for a Fit

Measure the width and height of the opening at the front and its depth from front to back, and compare them with the dimensions on the product page, not the firebox's outer size alone. Gaps around the edge are what trim kits are for.

Heat and Power

Most inserts here run the flame with or without heat, and the heat is supplemental, sized for the room it faces. Many plug into a standard 120V outlet, and several can also be hardwired, with higher output at 240V on models that support it.
