Dimplex Ignite Evolve 100" Smart Linear Electric Fireplace FAQ
Does the Dimplex Ignite Evolve 100" require venting or a gas line?
No. The EVO100 is a fully electric fireplace that requires no venting, chimney, gas line, or piping. Installation involves only framing, electrical hookup, and finishing — making it ideal for both new construction and retrofit projects where running gas or venting isn't practical.
What's the difference between 120V and 240V operation?
The Ignite Evolve 100 can be hardwired to either a 120V or 240V circuit. At 120V it draws 1,500 watts and produces 5,000 BTU of heat, while at 240V it draws 2,500 watts and produces a stronger 8,530 BTU output suitable for heating spaces up to 1,000 sq. ft. The flame effect runs identically on both voltages — only heat output changes.
Can I install the EVO100 outdoors?
Yes. The Ignite Evolve series is outdoor-rated for approved covered outdoor installations such as covered patios, lanais, and three-season rooms. The unit must be protected from direct rain, snow, and standing water, and installed strictly according to the owner's manual. Always confirm clearances and weather protection requirements before installing outdoors.
What wall framing depth do I need to recess this fireplace?
The EVO100 fully recesses into standard 2" x 6" wall construction without any trim, sitting flush against stone, brick, tile, or drywall finishes. For 2" x 4" wall construction, an optional trim kit (sold separately) allows the unit to install with a minimal surround for drywall or tile surfaces.
Can I control the fireplace from my phone?
Yes. The Ignite Evolve 100 has built-in Wi-Fi and is fully compatible with the free Dimplex Flame Connect® app. From your smartphone you can adjust flame color, flame speed, media themes, heat output, brightness, and set schedules — giving you far more customization than the included remote alone.
Is it safe to mount a TV above the Ignite Evolve 100?
Yes. Because the heat is directed forward from the bottom of the unit (not upward like traditional fireplaces) and the glass stays cool to the touch, the Ignite Evolve is designed to safely allow a TV to be mounted above it. Always follow Dimplex's published clearances in the owner's manual and your TV manufacturer's heat-tolerance guidelines.
Can I run the fireplace without the heat turned on?
Absolutely. The heater operates independently from the flame effect, so you can enjoy the realistic flames and media bed lighting year-round — even in warm weather or summer months — without producing any heat. The heater can also be permanently disabled by removing the electronic jumper on the main control board if desired.
What warranty does the Dimplex Ignite Evolve 100" carry?
The EVO100 is backed by Dimplex's 5-year limited warranty, one of the strongest in the electric fireplace category. The included smart self-diagnostic system also makes warranty service straightforward by displaying specific error codes on the LED display that service technicians can use to quickly identify issues and order parts.
