About This Product

The SF-INC36 from SimpliFire

The SimpliFire Inception 36" (SF-INC36) is a traditional-style electric fireplace with a 34-1/2" W x 19" H view: a multi-piece timber log set over black glass embers, seven customizable flame backgrounds, five sound effects, and standard Wi-Fi through the IntelliFire app. It installs pre-drywall into a rough opening, wires for 120V (5,000 BTU/hr) or 240V (10,000 BTU/hr), and finishes with your choice of decorative front. from $5,199.

Choose it for a traditional recessed firebox with app control and a choice of decorative fronts — a realistic timber log fire for a living space, finished pre-drywall.

It is not a primary heat source, it must be hardwired (no plug), and it installs pre-drywall into a rough opening — not a drop-in for an existing finished wall.

Specifications

The SF-INC36 sets into a 34-7/8 in. high x 42 in. wide x 8-3/4 in. deep rough opening as a zero-clearance design with no hearth required and 36 in. to combustibles at the front. It hardwires for 120V (15 A) or 240V (20 A) on a 60 Hz circuit.

Features

  • A 34-1/2" W x 19" H view with a multi-piece timber log set, seven customizable flame backgrounds, and five sound effects
  • Standard Wi-Fi through the IntelliFire app, an adjustable lighted ember bed, and hidden control buttons
  • Wire for 120V for a 5,000 BTU/hr assist or 240V for 10,000 BTU/hr, with a thermostat and a flame-only mode
  • No required clearance to a TV mounted above — validate the TV's surface temperature at install
  • Finish the face with a Folio, Halston, or Chateau Forge decorative front, chosen above

Answers to common questions

Can I mount a TV above it?

Yes. The Inception manual states there are no required clearances for a TV wall-mounted above the SF-INC36. A mantel isn't required but can help lower operating temperatures at the TV — validate the actual TV surface temperature at install against your TV manufacturer's maximum.

Does it plug in?

No — the Inception is hardwired to electrical service. Bring a 120V (15 A) or 240V (20 A) circuit to the opening; wiring for 240V doubles the heat output to 10,000 BTU/hr.

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.
