Frequently Asked Questions
What do I have to choose to complete the fireplace?
Napoleon lists a log set and a decorative brick or panel kit as required to complete the unit. Pick them in the options above, then add a front and trim if you want one.
Can I put a TV above it?
Napoleon designs the Altitude X for TVs, and its optional heat management kits reduce clearances to combustibles and mantels. Confirm your layout with us before framing.
Does it need electricity?
Yes. The unit is hard wired for 115V and runs the blower and NIGHT LIGHT from that supply. The eFIRE remote controls it by Bluetooth.
