We did a slight remodel of our family room and mounted the Dimplex unit completely recessed below a 60"" tv. The flame is realistic and the heater operation is quiet. We had an electrician hard-wire the unit, and he was so impressed with the look and quality that he is going to purchase one for his home. The soft glow of the flame creates a calm ambiance in the room in the evenings. This is a quality product, and was shipped quickly and with no damage.
