SimpliFire offers electric fires for an existing wall, a new framed wall, an old fireplace opening or an outdoor space. Start with where you want the fire, then choose a long, modern flame or a traditional log fire. A SimpliFire fireplace can become the focal point of your living room or bring ambiance to a bedroom or office. Below, compare wall mount, recessed, built-in and insert options, then pick the size on the page for the unit that suits your plans.


What SimpliFire does best

Part of Hearth & Home Technologies, the brand calls its approach “fire made simple.” With SimpliFire, you need no gas line, no chimney and no vent. Linear units offer flame color and ember bed color choices, with crystals, logs or white stones depending on the unit. Indoor flames run with or without heat for year-round use and warmth when you want it. Every unit includes a remote control. Most units plug into a wall outlet on its own circuit for easy installation, and the rest are hardwired by an electrician. To compare beyond this brand, browse our fireplaces across all fuels, indoor fireplaces and electric fireplaces across brands.

The two lines: linear and traditional

Explore SimpliFire linear electric fireplaces for eight linear units, or compare our wider linear electric fireplace range. The slim option fits a standard 2 by 4 wall or hangs on its included bracket. A taller-glass option sits flush in a 2 by 6 wall or hangs with a wall mount kit. Another slides into a finished wall with 2 by 6 framing. A built-in electric fireplace for a framed wall lets your builder finish right to its edge and is approved for a covered porch out of the rain. The three sided option fits a flat wall, corner or bay, like others in our three sided and multi-sided fireplaces hub. The tallest-glass option also fits those layouts and can link end to end. For no construction, the 36-inch wall mount unit includes a white floating mantel and colored downlights. Compare it with our wall mounted electric fireplaces. The outdoor unit gives no heat and belongs with our outdoor electric fireplaces for a porch or patio. Place it out of direct sun so the flames show.

For a traditional electric fireplace, the SimpliFire Inception uses a video of real flames, a backdrop you choose and six crackling fire sounds or silence. It offers a traditional fireplace look for a classic room. Frame it into the wall or use its mantel kit without construction. Choose a front on its page. Another traditional built-in has a stonework look, textured logs and adjustable flame height, in widths of 30 or 36 inches. The SimpliFire electric insert slides into an old wood fireplace opening or a new framed opening. A surround covers the gap. The stonework built-in and the electric insert each come with a log set in the box. Compare that option with our electric fireplace inserts.

How to choose your fireplace

Start with the wall you have. Hanging units avoid a recessed opening, while built-in units suit a wall your builder is framing. Measure an old wood fireplace before choosing an insert. The insert's firebox slides into the opening you already have. For a covered porch or patio, check the unit's approved setting. Next, choose the modern design of the linear line with its long line of color, or a realistic log fire. Finally, consider heat. An indoor heater takes the chill off the room, not the whole house. The outdoor unit provides flames only.

Frequently asked questions

Are SimpliFire electric fireplaces a good choice?

They are worth considering if you want a fire without a gas line, chimney or vent. This Hearth & Home Technologies brand offers options for existing walls, framed walls, old fireplace openings and covered porches. The indoor heat takes the chill off a room rather than heating a house.

How do I use the SimpliFire remote?

Use the included remote to turn the fire on or off and control the flames and available heat. On linear units, it also sets flame and ember bed colors. Most have buttons on the fireplace. Several offer phone control over Wi-Fi or voice control. Check the listing's manual for the button guide.

Do SimpliFire electric fireplaces give off heat?

Yes, every indoor unit gives enough heat to take the chill off its room. You can also run the flames with the heat off. A few units give about twice the heat when an electrician hardwires them on a heavier circuit. The outdoor unit gives no heat. None heats a whole house.

Can I install a SimpliFire electric fireplace myself?

Some options need no construction, including the wall mount unit with its mantel and the slim unit hung on its bracket. You plug it into a wall outlet on its own circuit. Recessed and slide-in units need an opening. Framed-wall built-ins need an electrician and builder. Follow the unit's installation instructions.

Does a SimpliFire electric fireplace need a vent or a chimney?

No unit needs a gas line, chimney or vent. That opens up choices for a condo, bedroom, office or interior wall. Built-in linear units let your builder run tile, stone or drywall to the edge without visible vents or a screen. That is the idea behind SimpliFire.
