How to Choose the Right Dimplex Electric Fireplace
With eight series and dozens of models, choosing the right Dimplex comes down to a few key decisions:
1. Linear or Traditional?
Linear fireplaces have a wide, ribbon-style flame presentation and suit contemporary interiors. The Ignite Ultra is Dimplex's premium linear series (50"–100"), while the Vital Essence (50"–100") and Vital Sense (50"–74") offer the linear look at more accessible price points. Traditional fireplaces have a taller, square-ish opening that mimics a classic wood-burning hearth. The Revillusion series is Dimplex's most realistic traditional option, using ThruView full-depth flame technology. The Vital Spark and Ignite Aspire cover the traditional format at entry and premium price points respectively.
2. Do You Want a Water Vapor Fireplace?
Dimplex's Optimyst series uses ultrasonic water vapor and LED light to create a 3D flame and smoke effect that is widely regarded as the most realistic electric flame available. Unlike standard electric fireplaces, Optimyst produces no heat and is safe to touch. The Opti-Myst Pro 1500 (65") and Pro 1000 (40") are built-in units for permanent installation. The Aura and Mapleton Stove are freestanding. The Revive retrofits into an existing fireplace opening. If you already have an Aquafire or are comparing water vapor options, the Optimyst Pro series is Dimplex's equivalent.
3. Built-In or Plug-In?
Most Dimplex series are built-in units that drop into a framed wall opening and wire to a dedicated circuit. The Nova series offers plug-in fireboxes that run on a standard 120V outlet — ideal for rental properties, apartments, or spaces where a built-in install is not possible.
4. What Size Do You Need?
Dimplex builds electric fireplaces from 23" up to 100" wide. For a standard living room, a 50"–60" linear or a 36"–42" traditional is the most common choice. For large open-plan spaces or commercial applications, the Ignite Ultra 88" or 100" makes a dramatic statement. For smaller rooms, bedrooms, or offices, the Vital Spark 26"–28" or Revillusion 24" are well-proportioned choices.
5. Talk to a Specialist
Every electric fireplace installation has unique requirements — framing dimensions, electrical circuit availability, and whether you want heat output or a purely decorative flame.
