Who It’s For

A small fireplace that no longer burns, or never did, is a cold hole in the wall, and running gas to it is more project than the room is worth. You need a fire that slides in and plugs in. If you have a small fireplace opening and want a realistic electric flame with a heater, finished with trim that comes in the box, the Atmosphere Ei25 is the one. Leave it empty and it stays the room’s dead spot.

What Makes It Special

The Ei25 is the smallest Atmosphere electric insert, with a high-impact orange and red flame over a deep bed of split oak logs, and three- and four-sided finishing trims are included so it installs cleanly out of the box.

Choose the standard heater on a regular outlet or a stronger one on 240 volts. Driftwood or birch log sets are optional, and flush, oversized, or custom faceplates cover an opening that is not square.

Possible Downsides

• Supplemental heat for one room; on a standard outlet it takes the chill off rather than heating a floor.
• Fixed flame style; for nine flame options and crackling sound, see the Atmosphere Ei29 LCD.
• The smallest viewing area of the electric inserts; the Ei29 and Ei33 fill larger openings.

If you want a small fireplace working again without a gas line, the Atmosphere Ei25 is the right decision. The fireplace is on every evening, and the only thing you ran to it was a cord.

The Ei25 comes with a split oak log set and included finishing trims, and offers driftwood or birch log sets, three- and four-sided faceplates, an oversized backing plate, custom faceplates, and adjustable hearth trim.
