I had a electric plug-in firebox by Dimplex installed december 2021. The heater has never worked. After numerous phone calls to the service manager, and never receiving a reply, I went to the shop with my remote (the service manager said he couldn't get through to Dimplex when i finally threatened him with posting a bad review. Then he said it was the remote. The remote worked fine with the shop fireplace. Since then, I have contacted the service manager (Mike) , and he sent two technicians, who tested the firebox and said it was faulty, and needed replacing.

It looks great and throws off WAY more heat than I expected. Thanks Glenn and team. Super excited to have no more wood smoke,...
   Read moreA little over a year ago I purchased and had installed a gas log insert for my existing traditional fireplace. A recent interaction with their support service reminded me that I had not reviewed them yet. Every aspect of the process was excellent. From visiting the showroom, reviewing the products and my options, pricing, and install was all as best as I could have hoped. I had an unusual shaped firebox, so they recommended a blocking plate that resulted in a very natural look. Recently I changed the batteries in the remote and found the thermostat control was not working. A same day callback from their support staff walked me through how to reset it and it is operating beautifully again. I highly recommend Custom Fireside for your...
