What you get
The Dimplex XLF7417-XD Wall Electric Fireplace is a wall or recessed whose maker rates its heater at 5,118 BTU per hour.
The maker says it heats up to 1,000 square feet; as with any 120-volt heater, read that as supplemental heat for one room.
Like most electric fireplaces the flame effect can run with the heater off, using far less power.
It mounts on or recesses into a wall; recessed installs need a framed opening and, for larger units, the wiring its manual specifies.
No combustion means no venting, no gas line and no carbon monoxide, which is why they go into bedrooms and apartments.
Also on the listing: overall dimensions of 12.13 in (D) x 75.63 in (W) x 23.88 in (H) and metal construction.
