You can install it as a replacement for your existing unit, or you can install it as a separate fireplace altogether.

What's more, this unit is mobile home approved and comes with a 5-year limited warranty. Choose between natural gas and propane for fuel, but no what matter which option you select, your appliance comes with a protective barrier, an elegant black reflective liner, and an on/off switch for your convenience. You just can't go wrong with this versatile option!

    Harold G
    from Renton, WA asked:
    November 12, 2019
    Does this unit require electricity or can it start and operate if the power goes out?
    1 Answer
    No, this unit had a standing (millivolt) valve and will function with or without power. The fan (if installed) would be reliant on the power however so in the event of a power outage, the fan would not operate.
