SimpliFire Electric Fireplaces

SimpliFire Electric Fireplaces

SimpliFire covers the practical middle of the electric fireplace market: linear built-ins, straightforward inserts sized for common fireplace openings, wall mount units with matching floating mantels, and one of the few outdoor-rated electric lines available. The Allusion series handles contemporary linear installations in several depths, Inception and the built-in and insert models cover traditional openings from 25 to 36 inches, and the Forum line is built for covered outdoor spaces where a standard indoor electric fireplace isn't suitable. The mantel and build-out packages are worth a look if you want a finished result without designing a surround from scratch.

Why Buy a SimpliFire Electric Fireplace

  • Complete mantel and build-out packages available, pairing the fireplace with a coordinated finished surround.
  • The Forum series is rated for covered outdoor installation, which most electric fireplaces are not.
  • Insert models sized for common existing fireplace openings, making retrofits straightforward.
  • Range covers linear built-ins, traditional fronts, and wall mount installations under one brand.

What to Consider When Buying

  • Match the format to your project: an insert for an existing masonry opening, a built-in for new framing, or a wall mount unit if you'd rather not open the wall at all.
  • If the fireplace is going in a covered patio, porch, or other exterior space, you need an outdoor-rated model. Indoor electric fireplaces are not suitable for outdoor use even under cover.
  • Consider a mantel package if you want a finished look without commissioning custom carpentry, and check what the package includes before ordering separately.
  • Verify wall cavity depth against the model's specifications for any built-in or recessed installation.
  • Confirm the electrical requirement for your model, since it affects whether an electrician needs to be involved.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can a SimpliFire electric fireplace be installed outdoors?

    Only the models specifically rated for it, for example, the Forum series is built for covered outdoor spaces. Standard indoor electric fireplaces should never be installed outside, even on a covered porch, because moisture and temperature swings will damage the electronics and create a safety hazard. Check that the model you're considering is explicitly outdoor rated.

  • What's included in a SimpliFire fireplace with mantel?

    Electric fireplace with mantel packages pair a specific fireplace model with a coordinated mantel or build-out surround, sold together as a single configuration. Options generally range from ready-to-finish surrounds you paint or stain yourself to fully finished styles. Since contents vary by package, check the product listing for the specific model to see exactly what ships.

  • Do I need a mason or contractor to install a SimpliFire fireplace?

    It depends on the format. Wall mount models are typically the simplest, mounting to the wall much like a large television. Inserts slide into an existing fireplace opening and generally need no masonry work. Built-in models require framing a wall cavity to the manufacturer's specified rough opening, which is where a contractor is usually worth involving. Any model requiring a dedicated circuit or hardwiring will also need an electrician.
