About This Product

The Ascent Premium 42” Linear Direct Vent Gas Fireplace from Napoleon

Behold the NEW & IMPROVED Ascent Premium Linear Direct Vent Gas Fireplace from Napoleon. New features include:

  • Sleek, Baffle-Free Design: By removing the baffle, the firebox now delivers a cleaner, more modern look—enhancing the visual appeal and drawing full attention to the flames.
  • Upgraded Ceramic Glass: Now featuring durable ceramic glass instead of tempered, this upgrade allows for better heat resistance and a clearer, more vivid flame presentation—bringing you closer to the fire.
  • Adjustable Finishing Flange: Get the perfect fit and flawless integration with your wall or surround thanks to the new adjustable flange—ideal for custom installations and tighter finishes.
  • Optional 4-Piece Trim Kit: Add a touch of sophistication with the optional trim kit, designed to give your fireplace a polished, built-in look that elevates any room.
  • Enhanced PSE Pilot System: Enjoy improved performance and reliability with the upgraded PSE pilot system—ensuring consistent ignition and stable flames, even in colder conditions.

Warranty

In the unlikely event your product experiences a defect, our technical team will guide you through the manufacturer’s warranty process. Here is a general outline of what to expect.

Due to the technical nature of our products, the manufacturer must perform troubleshooting to process a warranty claim. Your installer will need to troubleshoot the problem on-site while working in tandem with our technical team. If troubleshooting leads to what The Torch Guys deems as a defective part, we will submit a warranty claim to the manufacturer on your behalf. Before we submit the claim, we will ask you to review the terms and confirm your consent to proceed.

Once the claim is submitted, the manufacturer will review it and either approve or deny it. If they have all the information and accept the claim, your warranty replacement part(s) will begin processing for shipment. If, for any reason, the claim is denied or we need more information, we will notify you as soon as possible.

All warranties are processed as exchanges. You can expect to receive a prepaid return label for the defective part(s), which must be returned within 30 days of receiving the warranty replacement(s).

Warranty claims can take anywhere from 1-4 weeks to process, depending on the season. Given the length of time claims can take, we recommend you fire up your unit in late summer/early fall to ensure your existing fireplace is in good working order for the winter season.

Excellent customer service and buying experience

The customer service was outstanding from the moment we called The Torch Guys to order our new Dimplex fireplace. We needed the fireplace quickly due to our remodel schedule. We received the unit within 4 days of ordering. The delivery company they hired was efficient and the unit arrived with no issues.

Exceptional owners/service

Never have I had a company work so hard to assist me. They went above and beyond what any other store most likely would do. The replacement fireplace I needed was discontinued. These guys worked to help me find a fireplace with minimal adjustments needed. The packaging was over the top and shipping fast.

Beautiful electric fireplace!

The Torch Guys were great to work with! They followed up on my purchase to make sure I was pleased with my order. I love the fireplace and was the perfect size for my space. It was easy to install and has so many options including color, speed, timer and can use it to produce heat. I had one question about the screw sizes and Clinton helped me immediately. I highly recommend their products and would purchase with them again!

Spectacular 5-Star Experience Thanks to Julia!

I had the pleasure of working with Julia. She is so lovely and her customer care, product knowledge, and hospitality skills were impeccable in every way. This was one of the best online shopping experiences of my life. Oh, and Julia’s sweet southern accent was quite a nice departure from blasé Californians Lol. Do yourself a favor and call Julia to purchase your electric fireplace, I assure you won’t be disappointed. Extremely satisfied!

Great Service and Delivery

I bought an Amantii Cube from The Torch Guys and their service was terrific. They were great with answering questions, and the order shipped and arrived very quickly. They've followed up sharing the product is registered under warranty (done by them). All and all, very comfortable recommending them.

Very easy to communicate with, and shipping experience was perfect. We are still in the process of installing because of our new-build schedule, so can't really comment on the fireplace itself.

We bought a Napoleon tall Linear Vector fireplace from the Torch Guys. Their price was the best, and their service outstanding. Shipping was quick, and communication reasonable. Item was well protected in transit.

Wrong pipe size sent

Wrong pipe size was sent with fireplace. However, Ben and Ryan immediately took care of it- sent the right size and sent ups to pick most of the parts the other they sent return ups papers and I dropped two chimneys off at ups. Therefore. They did fix issue immediately with problems . So I am very happy with their company and service.
