Dimplex Electric
Electric only, and positioned a step above the value tier. This is where you go when the flame has to hold up in daylight.
About Dimplex
Dimplex at a Glance
Dimplex makes electric fireplaces and nothing else, and these showrooms position the line mid to high—a step up from the entry electric on the floor beside it. What you are paying for is the flame effect. Stand in front of two electric fireplaces at opposite ends of the price range and the difference is obvious in about three seconds, which is the entire argument for seeing one lit before you buy it.
Three parts of the line do different jobs. The Ignite family is the long linear wall opening, from 30 inches up to 100. Revillusion is the traditional answer—a deep firebox with a log set, built to be mistaken for a real fireplace rather than a screen. And Optimyst is the outlier: it makes its flame and smoke out of water vapour, so the effect is genuinely three-dimensional and you can put your hand through it.
Optimyst comes with one real condition—it needs a water supply. That is straightforward when a wall is already open, which is why it belongs in a remodel or a new build and rarely makes sense as a drop-in retrofit. Worth knowing before you fall for it in a showroom.

The short answer
Dimplex makes electric fireplaces and nothing else, and these showrooms position it a step above the value tier. What the money buys is the flame. Three parts of the line do different jobs: the Ignite family for long linear wall openings from 30 inches to 100, Revillusion for a deep traditional firebox meant to be mistaken for a real fireplace, and Optimyst, which builds its flame and smoke out of water vapour and therefore needs a water supply. Dimplex is part of Glen Dimplex, an Irish group, with its North American operation in Canada.

Which Dimplex Fits the Room
Electric is one word covering four quite different products. What you want it to look like decides it.
- A long modern opening in a framed wall The Ignite family—30 to 100 inches
- You want it to read as a real fireplace Revillusion, with its deep firebox and log set
- You want a flame you can put your hand through Optimyst—and it needs plumbing
- A masonry fireplace with no gas line to it An electric insert
- A rented flat, or you want it to move with you A plug-in—Nova or Deluxe
- Heat is the real requirement Gas, honestly
The difference
Dimplex or Napoleon Electric
The two electric lines in these showrooms. They are not aimed at the same buyer, and both have a top end worth seeing.
| Dimplex | Napoleon electric | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the shops place it | Mid to high | Best value, with a premium top end |
| The traditional answer | Revillusion | Element and the media consoles |
| Water-vapour flame | Optimyst—the only one here | None |
| Widest linear | 100 inches | To about 72 |
| Plug-in options | Nova and Deluxe | The log sets and consoles |
| Best argument for it | The flame effect at the top of the range | Breadth, and one brand across the whole house |

Buying Electric Here
Electric is the Fastest-Growing Part of This Market
It is roughly a tenth of what this network sells and climbing, and the reason is not price—it is that a wall with no gas line and no route for a flue stops being a problem. Bedrooms, basements, offices, condos and additions are where it lands, and those are exactly the walls a gas quote used to die on.
The Circuit Decides the Heat, so Ask Before You Pick the Model
Most of this line plugs into an ordinary outlet, and an ordinary outlet caps what any electric fireplace can put into a room. Some of the larger units want a dedicated circuit to give their full output. That is an electrician's question, not a showroom one, and it is much cheaper to answer while the wall is open.
Optimyst Needs a Water Supply, Which Changes When You Can Have It
The water-vapour flame is genuinely three-dimensional and it is the thing in this line people fall for in a showroom. It also needs plumbing to the unit, which is straightforward in a remodel or a new build and awkward as a drop-in retrofit. Large custom homes and commercial spaces are where it belongs—worth knowing before you lose your heart to it.

Questions buyers ask
About Dimplex
Where can I buy Dimplex in Utah?
Every showroom in this network carries Dimplex—17 of them, from Logan to St. George. Enter your zip code and you'll be pointed at the one that covers your street, or browse them all further up this page.
Who installs Dimplex in Utah?
The shop that sells it. Every dealer in this network installs its own work rather than handing it to a subcontractor, so the people who help you choose the unit are the people who fit it and the people who answer for it afterwards.
What does Dimplex make?
IgniteXL, Ignite Evolve, Ignite Ultra, Ignite Aspire, Revillusion, Revillusion Portrait, Optimyst, Optimyst Pro, Optimyst Aura, Vital Spark, Vital Essence, Vital Sense, Nova, Deluxe, Sierra—15 product families on this site. The range section above sets out where each one lands.
What makes Dimplex different from a cheap electric fireplace?
The flame, and almost nothing else. Every electric fireplace heats the same way—a fan and a heating element—so the money goes into how convincing the fire looks and how well the cabinet is built. Stand in front of an entry unit and a top Dimplex at the same time and the difference is obvious in about three seconds. It is also invisible in a photograph, which is why this is the worst category on the site to buy online.
What is Dimplex Optimyst?
A fireplace whose flame and smoke are made from water vapour lit from below, rather than from lights on a screen. The effect has depth—it moves in three dimensions and you can pass your hand through it—and it is the closest thing to a real fire that runs on a plug. It is the top of this line and it is becoming more common in large custom homes and commercial spaces.
Does Optimyst need plumbing?
Yes. It makes its flame from water, so it needs a supply to the unit. That makes it a natural fit for a remodel or a new build where a wall is already open, and an awkward one for a straight retrofit. If nobody has mentioned the water line to you, it has not been quoted properly.
What is Revillusion?
The traditional end of the line—a deep firebox with a log set, built to be looked at head-on and taken for a real fireplace rather than a screen in a wall. It is the answer when the room is period or traditional and a long modern light bar would look wrong in it.
What is the difference between IgniteXL, Ignite Evolve and Ignite Ultra?
They are steps in the same linear family, running up through flame realism and finish, in widths from 50 inches to 100. Evolve and Ultra sit above XL, and the top of the family is what a showroom shows you when the fireplace is the main event in the room. The family also runs down to the Aspire sizes for smaller walls.
Does a Dimplex need a special circuit?
Most plug into a standard outlet and give supplemental heat on that basis. Some of the larger models are happier on a dedicated circuit, and a few want hardwiring. Ask the specific model before you commit to a location—it is a cheap question during a remodel and an expensive one afterwards.
Where are Dimplex fireplaces made?
Dimplex is part of Glen Dimplex, an Irish group, and the North American arm of the business operates out of Canada. Electric is the whole of what this brand does, which is the reason its flame effects tend to be a generation ahead of what a full-line manufacturer offers.
Can a Dimplex go into a fireplace I already have?
Yes—that is what the insert end of the line is for, and it is a common move when there is no gas line to the opening and running one would cost more than the project deserves. The firebox needs measuring the same way a gas insert does, and the shop will want the depth as well as the front opening.
Is Dimplex more expensive than the electric on the next shelf?
Usually, yes, and these showrooms are explicit about positioning it that way. The line runs from modest plug-ins up to units that cost as much as a good gas fireplace. Whether that is worth it is a question you can only settle standing in front of two of them, which is the argument for visiting rather than ordering.
Where can I see a Dimplex lit in Utah?
In the showrooms on this site that carry electric—and with this brand more than any other, seeing it lit is the whole point. Enter your zip and the nearest shop comes up with its hours and its own number.
