Dimplex BF Series 33 Electric Fireplace

A built-in fire for the rooms a chimney could never reach. Quick Facts • Heating Capacity: 0–500 sq ft approx. 150–250 sq ft on standard wiring; approx. 250–450 sq ft wired for 240 volts • Fuel: Electric. • Controls: Three-setting remote (flame, flame and half-heat, flame and full-heat); wall-switch and wall-thermostat options. • Fan: Included; runs only when you turn the heat on. Who It’s For Some rooms were never going to get a chimney—a basement, a bedroom, a wall where running a gas line means opening up the house. So the fireplace stays a someday idea. You need a fireplace that builds into the wall without a flue or a fuel line. If you want a built-in fire that only asks for household wiring , the Dimplex BF Series 33 is the one. Go the conventional route instead and you’re into venting, gas work, and permits before the fire ever lights. What Makes It Special The fire is the point. A 3D flame effect with mirrored rear glass gives the flames real depth, cast urethane logs glow from the inside, and the ember bed pulses underneath like a fire that’s been burning all evening . Operable mesh screens sit across the front the way they would on a wood fireplace, so from the couch it reads as a fireplace, not a video of one. It also works in July: run the flame without the heat on a summer night, or add heat when it’s cold. The fan-forced heater runs when you ask and only then, and the louver-less face means no grille work breaking up the finish around it. Electrical components carry a two-year limited warranty. There’s no chimney and no gas line—the unit wires directly into the house, and wired for 240 volts it puts out nearly twice the heat of standard wiring. Framing and finish work are the whole installation story, which our team walks through before anything is ordered. Possible Downsides • It warms the room it’s in, not the whole house—a one-room heater, not a furnace. • Designed for direct wiring; the plug-in cord kit for a standard outlet is optional, not included. • Glass doors and trim are optional extras —the standard front is the open mesh screen. If you want a built-in fire in a room where a chimney was never an option, the BF Series 33 is the right decision. The room that never had a fireplace becomes the one everyone ends up in. The look is yours to finish: bi-fold-look glass doors, swing glass doors, or a tamper-proof glass door kit across the front, a four-piece black trim surround, and a plug-in cord kit for outlet installations.
