Frequently Asked Questions
Product
The 1500 watt heater produces up to 5,000 BTU, enough to warm a room of about 400 square feet. It’s supplemental heat, meant to take the chill off the room you’re actually in rather than replace your furnace.
Yes. The flame and the heater operate independently, so the fireplace works the same in July as it does in January. Enjoy year-round, with or without the heat.
A minimum 15-amp, 120V circuit is required (20-amp, 120V recommended). The fireplace can either be plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet or hardwired. Additional appliances on the same circuit as the fireplace may exceed the current rating of that circuit when the heater is on. A dedicated circuit is not required, but is recommended to prevent circuit breaker trips or fuse failure.
Yes. All SotaFlame log sets are made from real oak hardwood. Each piece is carefully cut, shaped, and charred by our team in Minnesota to create an authentic, natural look.
Yes. The glass stays cool and the fireplace has an automatic safety shut-off if it gets too hot. There is also a Heater Lock setting that keeps the heater controls from responding at all, so it can’t be turned on by accident.
Yes. The wall temperatures directly above the fireplace remain cool, meaning you can safely place a TV anywhere above the fireplace.
