Description
Amantii Ins-fm Electric Insert Fireplace is an electric insert with a steel surround for an existing fireplace. It comes in 2 sizes: 30 inch, 34 inch. In the box: the fireplace with its glass, plus 6-piece driftwood log set, sable media, clear glass diamonds, surround and overlay, remote.
Who it's for
Right buyer. You want the simplest way to put an electric fire in an old fireplace, with a surround that covers the opening, at the lowest Amantii price.
Wrong buyer. You want WiFi, glowing logs or a taller box; the TRD Lumina or Bespoke.
How it performs
The INS-FM is the plain insert: slide it into the old fireplace, fit the steel surround and overlay, plug it in, and the fire is back the same afternoon, with a driftwood log set and sable media in the box.
Good to know
- No WiFi, no glowing logs; the TRD Lumina and Bespoke add those for more money.
- The surround covers the old opening; measure it against the surround size before ordering.

Heat
120 V plug-in, 12.5 A, 1,500 W (750 low), 22 W heater off; 5,000 BTU. The flames run without heat; the heater is fan-forced from the top of the unit, so nothing shows in front of the glass.

Planning the install
- Plug-in models need an outlet on a circuit of their own; no extension cords. 240-volt models need an electrician.
- Built-ins: frame the opening from the specification sheet and confirm with us before you cut.
- Outdoors only where the sheet says indoor-outdoor, and only under cover.
- Special-order goods ship by freight.
Questions
Does it need a dedicated circuit?
Yes. The heater draws around 1,500 watts on 120 volts, most of a 15-amp circuit, so give the fireplace an outlet of its own and never an extension cord. Models with a 240-volt option are hardwired by an electrician.
How much does it heat?
The heater is supplemental: it warms the room you sit in, about 400 square feet on 120 volts, not the house. The flames run without heat on a few watts.
Can it go outdoors?
Only the models Amantii rates indoor-outdoor, and only under cover, protected from rain and direct sun; check the specification sheet linked below for your size.
Can I change the media later?
Yes. The log sets, glass and media kits are separate parts and drop into the media bed; the ones sold on this page are matched to the size.
What does the app do?
On WiFi models the Amantii app controls power, flame color, brightness and speed, the heater and timers from your phone; the remote in the box does the same from the sofa.
Can I return it?
Electric fireplaces are large, glass-fronted and shipped by freight. Confirm the size and the opening with us before you order, and contact us before returning anything.
