Know before you buy
Unlike traditional electric fireplaces that use a mirrored back panel, the Revillusion system uses a Mirage Flame Panel. This allows you to see directly through the flames to the back of the firebox, creating a more realistic, depth-filled appearance.
Yes, this unit offers adjustable heat settings ranging from 4,436 to 8,786 BTUs depending on your voltage setup. It is designed to provide effective supplemental warmth for medium-to-large living spaces.
Because this unit supports multiple voltages (120V, 208V, or 240V), the electrical requirements will depend on your chosen heat output. We recommend consulting with a licensed electrician to ensure your home's wiring is compatible with the desired wattage configuration.
Yes, the flame effect operates independently of the heating element. You can enjoy the visual ambiance of the firebox year-round without producing any heat.
Midnight Mode is an adjustable lighting setting that dims the firebox glow. It is designed to provide a more subtle, moody aesthetic for evening use compared to the standard warm-hue setting.
As a built-in firebox, it requires a dedicated framed opening in your wall. Please refer to the manufacturer's installation manual for specific framing dimensions and safety clearance requirements to ensure proper airflow and heat dissipation.
