The 45 inch “Built-In” or “Builders Box” electric fireplace insert is designed to be professionally installed in a permanant structure like an actual fireplace or wall cut out. This 45 inch Built-In unit offers a 42 inch wide view of realistic flames and log embers. This view is 12 inches wider than the 33 inch Built-In, and 6 inches wider than the 39 inch Built In models. The Built-In electric fireplace insert produces energy efficient heat, is environmentally friendly, and may be used with or without heat for year-round enjoyment. The 45 inch Built-In electric fireplace insert shares similar features with the 33 inch Mantel insert, but there are differences between these two kinds of electric fireplace units. Unlike the Mantel Insert, the Built-In …- Should be hardwired into home’s electrical system.- Should be installed by a contractor or electrician.- Includes a flip down front panel for easy access to service the unit.- Requires separate purchase of thermostat.- Offers two heat output functions: 4,600 BTUs (heats 400 square feet) or 9,200 BTUs (800+ square feet).- Has a 3-prong plug to be hard-wired in 120v or 240v outlet.The Built-In electric fireplace insert is more expensive than the Mantel Insert, but don’t make the mistake of cutting corners. If you plan to seal the Mantel Insert in a permanant structure, you will not be able to gain access to the back of the Mantel Insert when its time to service the unit. The Mantel Insert can only be serviced through the back. The Built-In is serviced through the front via a flip down front panel. In addition to a 45 inch Built-In, we offer this same unit in two smaller sizes: 33 and 39 inches.
