What you get
The SimpliFire SF-INS35-SF-SI4432-INS35 Electric Fireplace Insert is an electric insert whose maker rates its heater at 5,100 BTU per hour.
Like most electric fireplaces the flame effect can run with the heater off, using far less power.
As an insert it slides into an existing fireplace opening; measure the opening width, height and depth against the body dimensions, and the face against the trim. How to measure.
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 11.25 in (D) x 35 in (W) x 23.25 in (H), a shipping or unit weight of 82 lb and metal construction.
