I purchased this FP a few weeks ago and have yet to install it. For weeks I scoured all over RUclips for a video on the installation experience of the Dimplex XL and this is BY FAR the best video out there. Thank you for doing this! (Great production too :)
Thank you so much for the comment! I too wondered about the installation before I purchased but because I saw limited videos on this fireplace I decided to take matters into my own hand and record my experience so that I could help else. I’m glad you you found my video helpful and thank you for subscribing.
I had another fireplace by touchstone 50 inch coming until FedEx said by email that they damaged it!!! Now I have to wait for a replacement...that one is definately going in my bedroom!!!!
I bought this exact same fireplace and was wondering how to put it together. This video was excellent! Thank you so much 👍👌 great job.
Thank you for your comment and subscribing to my channel! I am so glad you found the video helpful.
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. It did look a little daunting when it arrived in the box, but the manual and this video make it so much more manageable. Cheers.
@anynameyouwant I am so glad you found this video helpful. Thank you for your comment and subscribing to my channel!😊🙏🏾 🥂
Gorgeous! I want one of these for my new house. Thanks for such a great explanation!

@BCM Imvestments I am so glad to hear you found this video helpful. Thanks for subscribing to my channel!😊🙏🏾
Great video, I hired a contractor to put this in for me, he framed the wall and then never came back. I watch your video and was able to do the rest myself. Thank you!!!
@Patty C thank you for your comment! I’m sorry to hear that your contractor ghosted you like that. But I’m glad you found my video helpful to help you finish the rest of the install. 😊🙏🏾
Excellent!!!! Because I have too many other projects lined up, I will be mounting a smaller unit on drywall...nothing to elaborate
Hey subbie, that seems pretty cool. Its been said that “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” - Leonardo da Vinci.
Really enjoyed this video as I’m confused about which fire to get. I love how straight to the point you are no messing.
I’m curious can you take the front glass off to put ur own stones in or logs 🤔
Oh and your fire looks amazing 🤩
Just purchase a fireplace today. And I ain’t know what the hell I was doing and I’m a man lol. Your video really help me out thanks

You saved me so much time and trouble
@Jayrod thanks for commenting and subscribing. I'm a fan of the latin aphorism "carpe diem" (seize the day). That's what motivated me to take on the challenge of tackling this install. I'm glad I was able to assist. 👍😁
Thank you
You’re welcome!
Hello MooreDecor, thank you for your video. I am looking to order this Dimplex Ignite. But I have not seen the flame effect in real life. Could you please tell me, at the section on your video starting 6 minutes in called montage, whether the video has been slowed down or if that is the real speed of the flame effect. Thank you.
@Clint Eastwood thank you for your comment. To answer your question, in this video it was slowed down for a cinematic effect but if you checkout my wall build video (link will be below) in my intro you can see the real-time effect of the flames. Thanks again for your comment and subscribing to my channel!🙏🏾😊

Great job😁👍

DOPE!
Appreciate it! And thanks for subscribing!
Hey I have this exact fireplace that came with the house. The original owners had disabled the heat function like you guys on the main control board. Was it simply pulling out the jumper? I am debating opening it up and pushing the jumper back in to re-enabling it. Do you remember if it was that simple?
@ZxExN Hi, yes it was easy to disable. Ours was completely removable but if we wanted to use the heating function at a later time we could simply plug it back in.
Hello...looks GREAT!! question for you....Is the trim piece on the model you installed the standard one? Can you take it off? We are preparing to put one in a home under construction and want the minimal trim piece if any at all. I know they sell a large trim kit but that's mainly for retrofitting in a shallow wall. I want to place flush with our desired wall material......hope this makes sense...:)
Thank you! Yes the black bracket around the fireplace is removable. So if you take it off it will look like your fireplace is built into the wall. Thanks for your comment and subscribing to my channel! 😊🙏🏾
Excellent video. The 4th power wire is used if you are doing a 240 volt installation.
@Steve Rickard thank you for your comment and subscribing to my channel. Also thanks for the information on what the 4th power wire is used for. 😊🙏🏾
Thank you Steve i was wondering what the 4th wire was for
240…241…what ever it takes…😋
This is super helpful. I like the different colors but are there various flame speeds? Great video!
@LaTanya M. Evans unfortunately it does not have various flame speeds. It can only change the flame colors and the intensity of the flame brightness. Thank you for your comment and also subscribing to my channel!🙏🏾😊
It’s between this unit or the regency skope 77”. Thank you for your video!
@Dan Jacobsen thank you for your comment and subscribing to my channel!🙏🏾😊 I will definitely have to check that other fireplace out.
I agree, this video was super helpful. My only questions are: 1. Can you also see the metal strip with screws at the top if you crouch down a bit? I feel it should be covered by black. Very odd, looks unfinished. Did my contractor put the back reflective glass on wrong, too low? 2. Mine was only 50in so didn't come with a suction cup, but it did come with two flat plastic squares about an inch across with like protruding plastic zip tie like pieces on each side of them to ...what? cover the pieces that you screw in to hold the front glass in place? Wouldn't they melt?? Hope you can answer these for me, as I have to take off the glass to clean a spot I must have missed on the inside, ugh. Thank you.
@Jill Preston So sorry for the late response. I’m glad you found the video helpful. To answer some of your questions no we cannot see the metal strip where the screws are when we crouch down. As for your next question I’m not sure if your contractor installed it wrong since we don’t have a picture to go by and it sounds like you got a different size which is why a suction tool did not come with yours. Not sure if one comes with different size fireplaces. As for your last question it should not melt if you’re planning not to use the heating mechanism. We disabled that feature on ours.
I hope I was able to answer some of your questions and thanks for subscribing to my channel and commenting on my video. 😊🙏🏾
Way better video, than the ones provided by the manufacturer.
@oscarortiz365 Thank you!😊🙏🏾
Thank you for reply one more question did you get the trim for additional cost or you just got fireplace thank you so much
You’re welcome! We just bought the fireplace.
Great video EXCEPT for one thing! recording issues installing front glass????, why didn’t you just re-record so it would be included? Looks like mist work is done before sliding into framing, only the acrylic rocks and front glass are installed after unit is in framing. Is unit screwed into framing?
@Ken Dr thanks for your inquiry. To answer your question, we didn't re-record because we completed that step fully. To capture it would cause for us to disassemble what we did. Even though it was an easy install, it was still time consuming with the screws and all.
As for your second question, no we did not screw the fireplace unit into the frame. This is because the tolerance of space we allowed between the wall frame and the fireplace unit is soooo small, it was a very-very snug fit ("0" movement)
I hope I answered your questions.
Thanks for checking out the channel and for hopefully subscribing 😊
Thanks for posting! about how long did the install take you? Getting ready to install ours
@John Brady thanks for your comment. It took us an hour and a half due to google research, trial and error, and instruction reading. But since you watched my video your time should be cut in half. Thanks for also contributing to the growth of my channel.🙏🏾😊
When the heating is off and it just set to flame display is it normal for a small noise to be running in the background?
@fragranceaddict3977 Yes that is normal. What you’re hearing is the fan motors going.
Gr8 Video! How many Bags of the Tempered Fire Glass did you have to use to line up your fireplace and the big glass, where did you purchase this? Thank you in advance!
@HitSquad Fuze thank you for your comment. I used all of the crystals that came with the fireplace and I will leave a link below to where you can order it. Thanks again for your comment and subscribing to my channel! 😊🙏🏾

@@MooreDecor Much appreciated!
Can the intensity of the flame light and the cristal bed be reduced?
Hi Nikola,
Thank you for your comment! Yes the intensity of the flame light can be reduced but as for the crystal bed, that can’t be reduced. It can only change colors.
Nice video,👏
Thank you!!🙏🏾
Hi again, I am curious about something in your install video. I recently installed a 60" Ignite XL after watching your video. Your video shows installing the mirrored glass while laying flat. However, I was not able to do it that way. The 2 mounting screws on each side are behind the mirrored glass, so you would have to remove it after inserting the fireplace in the framing to be able to secure the fireplace to the frame. Just saying.
I was thinking this while watching the video, maybe they didn't actually secure it to the build out? Mine was snug enough where I probably didn't have to, but did.
Hi, Great job however we didnt have the caps in the box for the wires? did you literally just plug it in after you'd installed both glass panels?
@Aaron Abbott if you have the same Dimplex unit I have, there should have been a total of 4 wire caps inside. However, not to worry, you can always pick some up from your local hardware store 😉.
As far as "when" we plugged in the unit. Yes, it was after installing the front glass, we plugged in the power cord 🔌.
I hope I answered your questions and concerns on the install.
Thank you for commending us on our install 🙏.
Also, thanks for subscribing, it means alot 😊.
@@MooreDecor I think ours might already be wired in the U.K. IS THERE ANYWAY I CAN SEND YOU A PHOTO 😆 thanks again for the video
@@aaronabbott3524 If you go to my About section on my channel you can click on my Instagram handle and DM me the photo. Thanks again!😊
nice does it come in a smaller size? like 40 to 50''? thanks how well does it heat?
@delegerernt the Dimplex Ignite XL comes in 50" 60" 74" and 100". As for the heat, we disabled that mechanism so I can't give you an honest review on that. But from doing a thorough research on the unit before purchasing everyone that has purchased the item gave the heat output rave reviews for its heating accuracy and range 👍.
Hey, thanks for your thoughts and for subscribing 😊
@@MooreDecor one had to totally dismantle it? Isn’t it a choice on the remote to use or not use the heating? Do you have any video showing the fireplace in use?🙂
@Stein Ove Valderhaug I'm not sure how to answer your 1st question, but as for your 2nd question you can choose to forgo turning on the heating capabilities from the remote by simply avoiding them. However, we chose to "disable" that option inside the unit to prevent our curious 2 year old from accidentally activating it via remote or the units touchscreen.
Now, on to your 3rd question, at the end of the video I incorporated a montage displaying the fireplace fully activated for your viewing pleasure.
I hope I answered your questions as accurately as possible.
I appreciate your interest in my content, thank you for subscribing 👍😊
Quick Question. Did you already have purchased the TV and dimplex prior to building your receding wall?
@TheWeeklyJourney yes we picked out and purchased the fireplace and tv that we new for sure we were going to purchase and built the recessed wall based on the measurements given on the sites.
@@MooreDecor any idea or suggestions on where to purchase the wall ?
@@carolanatkinson5111 I actually built that wall. Here’s a link to that wall build video ruclips.net/video/E-mAedFmsxA/видео.html
Did you install the tile before after mounting the fireplace?
@David Alvi we actually installed the tile first before placing the fireplace inside the wall.
Thanks for best review
Are you happy with it no issue
@Ahmed Alaraji Thank you for taking the time to watch my video and also comment on it.
I definitely still love this fire place because it looks so realistic to me. It was definitely worth every spent, so definitely a great investment piece. And to date we have had no issues with this fireplace.
Thanks again for your comment and subscribing to my channel! 😊🙏🏾
@@MooreDecor
Thanks for fast reply
Many thanks for your help
I will order it I sow many brand cheaper put sure pay more get better quality
@@ahnedalaraji You’re so welcome!🙏🏾😊 And yes you’re absolutely right!
Nice Video. Did it come with the log option or only the crystal option?
@Ashley Surles Thank you for your comment! To answer your question you have to choose the option you prefer when you purchase the item.
@@MooreDecor yikes. I did not see that. Do they allow you to buy the log individually if the default purchase is the crystal? Thanks for the response.
@Ashley Surles I do apologize about that. Please see below the link below for the driftwood log fireplace.

Beautiful FP. How long is it and can you provide a link where you purchased?
@Kevinw4040 Thank you for your comment and subscribing to my channel! The fireplace is 74 inches long. Please see below for the link to where I purchased the fireplace.

Windy City fireplace sells this for about $2200. They are located in the chicago area. Maybe they’ll ship.

Thank you for subscribing! 🙏🏾 I subscribed to your channel as well.
this fireplace is almost 3k, whats the difference with other lower priced like touchstone or no name brand 72inches fireplaces in amazon besides branding thanks
@mainard dinglasan it’s realistic looking in my opinion and it’s also a personal preference. If you want to get a lower priced fireplace by all means go for it but remember you get what you pay for. Thanks for your comment!
The frame on this model is thinner for a clean look. Not as bulky as the cheaper onces. Also the quality of the flames are more realistic. Hope this helps. i did purchase this model aswell.
Did you get 2x6 or 2x4 wall install
@Vicky Huertas we used 2x4.
I've done this but there is no flame?
@Richard Winn can you elaborate on what you mean that you’ve done this but there is no flame? Are you saying that after putting your unit together no flames appeared?
You didn't show mounting the unit in the wall.
@seanbanks3649 You’re right and for that I apologize. Somehow that footage of us installing it was lost but I can ensure you that it was an easy install. All we did was put it in the custom open slot of the fireplace wall, which by the way if you haven’t done so already can check out that build down below.👇🏾

Hi I have this fire and one of the flames has stopped working it's only 6 weeks old I'm gutted anyone else had this happen 😢
@Sam Gormley 6 weeks is too soon for the fireplace to be breaking down. Good thing is that the Dimplex company offers a 2 year factory warranty on their products.
You should consider using that option.
Thanks for subscribing 😊.
I know someone that works there that can get me the 50 inch for $359. It retails for 3k. What do you think ?
@Sean that’s sounds like a great deal. I wish I had an inside man before I had purchased my fireplace.

I’m buying 3
Why u didn't show the whole fireplace on wall
@Jan Nelson I do show the fireplace on the wall in this video. You should check the video out.

The power cord that comes with the fireplace is only intended to test the unit after receipt. The instructions clearly say the fireplace MUST BE HARDWIRED AND SHOULD NOT BE PLUGGED INTO A WALL SOCKET. The fourth wire you said was for hard wiring (they all are) is to use it on a 240 v circuit which allows greater efficiency and also enables you to heat up to 1000 square feet. Using 110 v heats up to 500 square feet but uses more electricity per BTU generated.
Thank you for subscribing to my channel! Stay tuned for more content such as this.
This is nonsense. It for a permanent install if 120v and where there is a receptacle. An extension cord should not ne used
Where's the 6 month review?
It’s coming!
Great video. But, next time lose the music. Very irritating when trying to listen to your explanations.
@tacx1 Thank you for watching the video. I will definitely keep that in mind for my future videos.
The devil him self can’t install this F…. Glass on.
Your video don’t show how besides the annoying music.
@Florida USA sorry this video wasn’t helpful for you. Thank you for taking the time to watch it though.
Thank you
You’re welcome!😊🙏🏾
