Other Questions

Do all of the mattles open for shelving?
The Sideline Elite does not have a built-in crackling sound feature, but our standalone Fire Crackle Speaker accessory is available separately and can be added at any time. Only our hidden-storage mantel models open to provide storage. Other mantel models do not open.
I will be installing this fireplace in a home in Argentina, which has 230 V, 50 Hz power receptacles. I have the capacity to either use the plug-in or hard-wire version for installation, but will need a step-down transformer. What size do you recommend? Also, can you ship this product via DHL to my address in Argentina?
Thank you
The Sideline Elite electric fireplace is designed for AC 110–120V, 60Hz power and is rated at 1500W. We do not support or recommend using a step-down transformer to operate the fireplace on a 230V electrical system. We also do not currently ship directly to Argentina.
cost of installation
The cost to install an electric fireplace varies depending on the type of installation, any electrical work required, finishing materials, and local labor rates. For an accurate estimate, we recommend contacting a qualified local contractor and sharing your specific installation plans.
Does the heat come out of all three vents on the top of an electric wall-mounted fireplace?
No, the heat comes out through the center vent located above the fireplace display area. The vents on either side are used for air circulation and do not blow heated air.
Hello,
I am interested in the Sideline Elite 60 but have a question regarding the log set. Can its be changed out for something more modern?
The Sideline Elite 60 includes two media options: a traditional faux log set, and a combination of clear crystals and driftwood.
For a more modern look, many customers choose the crystals and driftwood.
These media options are designed to be used separately and should not be combined.
Which fireplace is recommended for my wall that is 160 inches wide by 96 inches height?
For a wall that size (160" wide × 96" high), a 60" or 72" fireplace is typically a good fit.
A 72" model is a popular choice for larger walls like this, as it helps anchor the space while still leaving room on either side for furniture or shelving.
If you’re looking for a more dramatic, built-in look or planning a media wall, an 84" fireplace can also work well as a larger focal point.
Are these fireplaces rated for outdoor, install on lanai in Florida ??
No, this Sideline Elite model is not rated for outdoor use. For installations on a lanai or other outdoor spaces, please see our outdoor-rated electric fireplaces here:
https://www.touchstonehomeproducts.com/collections/outdoor-electric-fireplaces
Does the electric fireplace have a hardwired option?
Yes, this model includes a standard power cord and plug, but it is also hardwire-ready.
How does the speaker work? Does it plug into the fireplace and turn on when the fireplace is turned on?
For this model, the speaker is a standalone accessory and works independently from the fireplace. It does not plug into the unit or turn on automatically.
If you’d like a fireplace with a built-in crackling sound, our Elite Pro series includes this feature. You can view it here:
