Dimplex 23 Inch Multi-Fire XHD Electric Firebox Insert Logs

No. The Multi-Fire XHD 23" plugs directly into any standard 120V household outlet, drawing 12.5 amps at 1,500 watts. No hardwiring, gas lines, venting, or chimney are required, making installation simple and DIY-friendly. For best results, plug the unit into a dedicated circuit to avoid tripping breakers when the heater is running alongside other appliances.

The required framing/rough opening is 21 10/16"W x 20 1/16"H x 7 1/2"D. The fireplace itself measures 23"W x 20 7/16"H x 7 1/4"D. Because vents are located on the front top, the unit can be built into combustible surrounds, mantels, and media walls without rear or side clearance concerns — always follow the installation manual for specific clearance requirements.

The fan-forced ceramic heater produces 5,118 BTUs and provides supplemental warmth for spaces up to 1,000 square feet. The flames operate independently of the heater, so you can enjoy the ambiance of the fire 365 days a year without producing any heat — perfect for warmer months or cooler living rooms that don't need supplemental heating.

Yes. Realogs are Dimplex's second-generation log set, molded from meticulously selected and charred hardwood and strategically arranged to create the illusion of depth and burning firewood. The multi-flame technology lets you adjust flame speed and brightness, add red highlights for warmer tones, or display glowing logs and embers without any flames for a smoldering ember effect.

Every Dimplex Nova 23" Multi-Fire XHD purchase includes the firebox unit, the Realogs log set, a multi-function remote control that operates 100% of the fireplace's features, and the 2-year manufacturer's limited warranty. Installation hardware and instructions are included in the owner's manual provided with the unit.

Maintenance is minimal. The LED flames and lights are low-energy bulbs designed to last the life of the product and require no replacement. Simply dust the exterior and viewing glass periodically with a soft, dry cloth. There is no ash, soot, smoke, or fuel to manage, and no chimney sweeping or annual servicing is needed.

Yes. The unit features a safe ceramic heating element with front top vents that direct warm air away from the front glass. There is no real flame, no carbon monoxide, and no open combustion. The viewing glass stays cool to the touch during normal operation — only the vent area becomes warm when the heater is running. Always supervise children and pets near any heating appliance.
