Features<\/h2>\n

\"Classic<\/h3>\n

1. Classic Fireplace Design<\/h3>\n

If you feel a bit nostalgic about traditional wood fireplaces, I think you are going to love the ClassicFlame fireplace insert. It has the classic look of a real fireplace from the big black framing with a grill at the top of the brick design behind the tempered glass front.<\/p>\n

When you switch it on, the pulsating embers and glowing logs<\/strong> look so realistic that it\u2019s easy for a guest to mistake them for real firewood.<\/p>\n

The insert has a subtle but eye-catching design. Rather than overwhelming your living room with gaudy colors and fancy designs, it blends in perfectly with your bookshelf, flooring, walls and other parts of the room. It adds a nice cozy feeling and looks to whichever room you set it up in.<\/p>\n

2. 5,200 BTU Heater<\/h3>\n

The best part about the ClassicFlame insert is the heating power. At 5,200 BTU, this is one of the most powerful heating fireplace inserts you can buy.<\/p>\n

It can warm up a room of up to 1,000 square feet.<\/strong>\u00a0For most single rooms – even large open plan living rooms – this is more than enough.<\/p>\n

To tailor the output to your room’s size and season, you can control the heat output using the\u00a0thermostat<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It can even help you reduce your energy bills<\/strong> since you can turn off the AC in the room where the heater is in use.<\/p>\n

3. Infrared Heat Output<\/h3>\n

Most fireplace inserts with heaters emit convective heat. This is a type of heat that uses air to move from one point to another. It doesn\u2019t travel very far in a large room and tends to suck moisture out of the air.<\/p>\n

As a result, the air feels dry and uncomfortable to breathe.<\/p>\n

The ClassicFlame 28\u201d quartz fireplace insert<\/a> emits infrared heat, also called radiant heat<\/strong>. Infrared heat travels differently and goes further. It doesn’t depend on any medium such as air to travel. It can travel in a vacuum.<\/p>\n

Infrared wavelengths are only turned into heat energy when they are absorbed by an object such as your body or the floor and walls. The air does absorb some infrared energy, but it releases most of it quickly.<\/p>\n

Thus, the air does not heat up. Instead, IR wavelengths<\/strong> directly heat objects<\/strong>. The air remains rich in oxygen and moisture. You can enjoy the warmth of the heater without breathing in dry air.<\/p>\n

4. More than 100 Flame Effects<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s not just the embers and logs that set the ambiance. The flame to has its cool styles too, and you can change among different ones using the accompanying remote control.<\/p>\n

There are five flame color options: Spectrafire, Sapphire, Midnight Fire, Campfire, and Amethyst.<\/strong> There are also five brightness settings and five flame intensity settings.<\/p>\n

You can also choose the auto cycle option where the insert automatically cycles through different effects at regular intervals.<\/p>\n

5. Safer Plug<\/h3>\n

Heaters, in general, carry a significant fire risk. With a powerful heater such as the one in the ClassicFlame fireplace insert, the risk is even higher.<\/p>\n

The ClassicFlame insert uses a feature called Safer Plug<\/strong> to protect your home<\/strong> from a fire. The insert monitors the temperature of the plug, and when it goes beyond a certain point, it automatically shuts down the heat function until the plug cools down to a safe temperature.<\/p>\n

So you can install the Insert in any room with peace of mind.<\/p>\n
