About This Product

The GI-32-ZC from SimpliFire

The SimpliFire 32" Electric Insert (GI-32-ZC) drops into an existing wood fireplace or a framed opening with one-piece glowing timber logs over a lighted ember bed. A decorative front is included, and it plugs into a standard 120V outlet — no gas line or chimney work. It adds 5,000 BTU/hr of supplemental warmth. from $799.

Choose it to convert a wood-burning firebox to clean plug-in electric heat and flame — a simple insert with a glowing timber log set.

It is not a primary heat source, and it's an insert — it needs an existing fireplace or a framed opening to sit in, not a flat wall. Its flame is a simple on/off effect rather than a multi-color system.

Specifications

The GI-32-ZC is approved for built-in installation into an existing fireplace or a framed opening with zero clearance at the sides, floor, top, and back and 36 in. at the front, on a 15 A, 120V grounded circuit via the 6 ft. cord.

Features

  • One-piece glowing timber logs over a lighted ember bed with an on/off flame effect
  • Approved for built-in installation into an existing wood fireplace or a framed opening — a decorative front is included
  • Plugs into a standard grounded 120V outlet with the 6 ft. cord
  • Optional three- or four-sided surrounds in two sizes cover the opening

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.

Great Company

I have not used the stove yet but this company is fantastic to do business with. I will review the stove at a later time.

I worked with Ben at the Torch Guys - great experience. He responded very quickly whenever I phoned or texted him. To deal with a human was great and especially a company that cares and wants to make sure you are satisfied. Overall a great experience and would highly recommend Ben Morris and the team at The Torch Guys.

I had a fantastic experience with The Torch Guys!! From my first phone conversation with Ben to follow up emails & product delivery everything was flawless. Would not hesitate to purchase through them again!

Julie Wagner
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.

Patti Langer
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.

Phil McIntyre
Customer Service

Product shipped extremely fast, however, it was damaged during shipment. I contacted customer support and they had it replaced within a few days. No hassle, very professional. I couldn’t be happier.

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!

James Rosen
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.

Nichole Hart
Excellent Experience

Great customer service, prices, delivery and product! Would highly reccomend.

Paige Eaton
The Torch Guys

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.
