Modern Flames: Orion 26" Traditional Heliovision Fireplace

A tall, traditional fire for the fireplace you already have—no gas line, no venting, no ashes. The 26-inch Orion Traditional slides into an existing fireplace opening or builds in flush, and draws its fire on a screen behind lit logs. Quick Facts • Heating Capacity: 0–400 sq ft• Viewing Area: 22-7/16″ wide• Fuel: Electric.• Controls: Remote, built-in touch controls, and the Modern Flames app over Wi-Fi.• Fan: Included Who It’s For A wood fireplace that takes hauling, lighting, and cleaning tends to sit dark most nights. You need a fire you’ll actually turn on. If you have a small bedroom or den fireplace and want a fire with traditional proportions—upright flames and a full log set—at the press of a button, the 26-inch Orion Traditional is the one. Leave the opening as it is and it stays a dark box; put this in and it becomes the fire you use every evening. What Makes It Special The fire is drawn on an LCD screen, which gives it height and depth that LED flames can’t match, framed like a classic fireplace rather than a long linear strip. The logs glow in color, the ember bed and the downlighting each take their own color, and you choose from three flame styles in six colors with a crackling sound you can turn up or off. It slides into most existing fireplace openings as an insert, or builds in flush with a clean face, and it plugs into a standard outlet. The fan-forced heater adds supplemental warmth for up to about 400 square feet, and the flames run with the heat off whenever you just want the look. Possible Downsides • The manufacturer rates it for supplemental heat only; it warms the room, not the house.• It runs on 120 volts only, so heat tops out around 400 square feet; the 36-inch and larger sizes add a 240-volt option. If your fireplace has sat dark for years and you want a traditional fire you’ll actually use, the 26-inch Orion Traditional is the right decision. The opening you stopped noticing becomes the room everyone ends up in. Options include small and large surround trim kits to cover the gap around your existing opening, and the TruWood Premium Timber log kit sized for 26–30-inch units.
