Is the Ascent 36 Linear good for smaller modern spaces?
Yes — it is the compact entry to Napoleon’s linear look, pairing a 30.75 x 16.75 in low-profile flame with a measured 17,500 BTU output that won’t overwhelm condos, offices, or snug living rooms.
Is there a damper or flue on the Ascent 36 Linear?
No — its sealed direct vent replaces both. Nothing needs opening or closing, and no conditioned air drifts out of the house when the fireplace is idle.
What is the gas usage of the Ascent 36 Linear?
Roughly 0.175 therms per hour at maximum — about 25 cents hourly at typical U.S. natural gas rates, among the most economical linear models available.
What framing does the Ascent 36 Linear require?
A minimum opening of 36.50 in wide x 39.38 in high x 16 in deep, with the BL36 measuring 35.94 x 39.06 x 15.75 in — a shallow footprint suited to standard stud walls.
Does the Ascent 36 Linear include a blower?
Yes, the internal heat-circulating blower comes standard, distributing its 17,500 BTU evenly instead of letting warmth linger at the glass.
How is the Ascent 36 Linear turned on?
Via electronic ignition from the control — no standing pilot. Light it, set the flame height, and the blower manages circulation automatically.
What warranty protects the Ascent 36 Linear?
Napoleon’s President’s Limited Lifetime Warranty — included in full from us as an authorized dealer. See more widths in the Napoleon fireplace collection.
