Napoleon Elevation X 42 Electric: a recessed fireplace with screen based flames
The Napoleon Elevation X 42 Electric is a recessed electric fireplace for a framed wall. It is 42 inches wide. A rear screen shows wood or gas flame videos in orange and yellow. Glowing split oak logs come in the box. The lights beneath them shift between natural colors to look like glowing embers. Speakers add the sound of a crackling fire.
It needs no gas line and no chimney. Plug it into a regular wall outlet, or have an electrician hardwire it for more heat. It provides up to 10,000 BTU. Run the flames with or without heat. ECO mode runs the heater at half power. BOOST mode turns the heater and fan all the way up. It comes with a remote. You can also run it from your phone with the Napoleon Home app or by voice through Google Home or Alexa. Black finishing trim is included. On the page you can add a wall mounted controller.

The Napoleon Elevation X 42 Electric ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
What is the Elevation X 42 Electric Fireplace?
The 42-inch version of Napoleon’s LCD-based Elevation X electric built-in (NEFB42LCD-MF) — fire rendered on a display panel for switchable flame styles, recessed into the wall like a traditional built-in.
Is this the same as the Elevation X 42 gas fireplace?
No — this is the all-electric LCD counterpart. Same Elevation X design language, but no gas line, no venting, and no combustion; if you want the 45,000 BTU gas version, see our Elevation X 42 Direct Vent listing.
Does the Elevation X 42 Electric heat the room?
Yes — it includes a supplemental electric heater, independent of the display; output and wiring specifics live in the installation manual under Catalogs and Manuals.
What does an LCD fireplace cost to run?
Pennies in display-only mode — comparable to a television — with heater use adding a modest amount at typical U.S. electric rates.
Where can the Elevation X 42 Electric be installed?
Anywhere you can frame and wire it — bedrooms, basements, condos — because zero combustion means zero carbon monoxide and no venting constraints.
How do I confirm fit before ordering?
Check your framed cavity and circuit plan against the manual, or send us your measurements and we’ll verify the NEFB42LCD-MF’s requirements with you before purchase.
