Dimplex 45" Built-In Electric Fireplace FAQ
Can I use the flame effect without the heat?
Yes! The Dimplex BF45DXP features independent controls for the flame and heater, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful flame ambiance year-round without heat. This is perfect for creating atmosphere during warmer months while still enjoying the visual appeal of a flickering fire.
What size room will this fireplace heat effectively?
The heating capacity depends on your voltage installation. At standard 120V, it will heat up to 400 square feet. When wired at 240V, the unit provides more powerful heating for spaces up to 800 square feet. The fan-forced heater distributes warmth efficiently throughout your room.
Does this fireplace require professional installation?
Yes, professional installation is recommended. The BF45DXP requires direct-wire electrical connection (though an optional plug kit is available) and proper framing to specific dimensions. An electrician should handle the wiring, especially if you're installing at 208V or 240V, or adding optional wall switches and thermostat controls.
What's included with the fireplace purchase?
Your purchase includes the Dimplex BF45DXP fireplace unit, the Realogs® media bed with LED inner glow technology, built-in manual controls, and a 2-year manufacturer's warranty. Optional accessories like trim kits, glass doors, remote control, and plug conversion kit are sold separately.
How realistic are the flames and logs?
Extremely realistic! Dimplex's patented flame technology creates authentic depth and dancing flames. The logs are hand-crafted and molded from actual wood logs, while patented LED inner glow technology and pulsating embers create a concert of glowing effects that closely mimic a real wood-burning fire.
Is this fireplace energy efficient and safe?
Absolutely! Electric fireplaces are 100% energy efficient, converting all electricity directly into heat with no loss up the chimney. The BF45DXP produces zero harmful emissions or particulates, requires no venting, and has no open flames, making it a safe and eco-friendly alternative to traditional fireplaces.
Can I control this fireplace with a remote or wall switch?
The unit comes with built-in manual switches. For added convenience, it can be wired with separate wall switches to control the flame independently, and an optional wall thermostat can control the heater. A 3-stage remote control kit is also available as an optional accessory for wireless operation.
What are the framing dimensions I need for installation?
For standard installation, you'll need a framing opening of 45.5" W x 33.5" H x 16" D. If installing in a corner configuration, the framing dimensions are 60" W x 42" D x 42" D. The actual fireplace measures 44.7" W x 32.7" H x 15.3" D, so proper framing is essential for a secure fit.
