BF Series 39

A built-in fire for the wall no chimney can reach. Quick Facts • Heating Capacity: 0–500 sq ft approx. 400–500 sq ft—a single room • Fuel: Electric. Who It’s For There’s a wall in your house that has been asking for a fireplace, but there’s no chimney, no gas line, and no appetite for the construction it would take to add them. So the fireplace stays a someday project. You need a fireplace that builds into the wall without gas or venting. If you want the look of a true built-in fire in a den, bedroom, or basement where combustion was never on the table, the Dimplex BF Series 39 is the one—the alternative is running gas and a vent, a much bigger job for a room that mostly wants the fire , not the furnace. What Makes It Special This is a real zero-clearance fireplace—it frames into the wall and finishes flush like any built-in—except it runs on electricity. That means no gas line and no chimney , which makes it the simplest path a house can take to a built-in fire: no combustion, and nothing cut through the roof. As a heater, it’s honest about its job: it warms the room it’s in , roughly a den or a bedroom’s worth of space, while the furnace holds the baseline for the rest of the house. Electric is the better accent ; gas is the better heater. Like every built-in fireplace, the job ends with finish work around the opening, so plan the wall, not just the box. Possible Downsides • It warms one room , not the whole floor; if the fireplace needs to carry the house’s heat, gas is the better heater. • It needs electricity , so in a power outage there’s no fire and no heat. • Doors and trim are sold separately ; the glass-door look is an option, not included. If you want a built-in fire on a wall that can’t take gas or a chimney, the BF Series 39 is the right decision. The room you put it in becomes the one everyone ends up in. You can finish it to suit the room: a four-piece installation trim, glass doors in bi-fold look, tamper-proof, or swing styles, and a plug kit for plug-in power.
