Heater output, per the listing

The heat the listing states. Plenty to take the chill off the room you sit in; how far it reaches depends on your insulation, windows and ceiling, and our supplemental heat planner turns your room into a rough answer.

What it has going for it

What changes in your evenings

36 in wide, per the listing. A compact size for a narrow wall, a bedroom or a study. Check in the installation drawing whether the figure is the frame or the viewing area, then hold it against your wall cavity.

1,500 W. Supplemental heat for the room you sit in: it takes the edge off a cold evening while the furnace stays turned down. Real coverage depends on your insulation, windows and ceiling height. Our supplemental heat planner puts it in numbers for your room.

Timer, up to 9 hours. Doze off in front of it and it switches itself off. In a bedroom, that alone is worth a lot.

Living room or bedroom?

For a bedroom or a study, at 36 in wide it fits a bedroom wall or a study. The timer (up to 9 hours) switches it off after you fall asleep. The low heat setting is gentle enough for a smaller room.

On balance it is happiest in a bedroom, a study or a cosy corner.

Great for you if…

  • You have a narrow wall or a bedroom to warm up
  • You want the chill off one room on cold evenings

Skip it if…

  • You want the flame on its own in summer: the listing we read doesn't say the flame runs without heat
  • You want it to replace your heating: it is supplemental heat for one room
  • You'd rather wait for buyer reviews: none are captured for this listing yet

Price and cost per inch of width

$369.99 Price on Sep 30, 2026 · may have changed

At the price on Sep 30, 2026, each stated inch of width costs about $10. That puts it around the middle of the 117 inserts we have a price for.

Cost per inch is only a rough yardstick: the heater, the flame options and the build count as much as the width.

A better fit for your room?

Want a wider fire for a bigger wall? The Touchstone Sideline 60" Smart (9.5/10) states 60 in.

Want the flame without the heat in summer? The Innoflame 36" Insert with Log Set (7.7/10) states a flame-only mode.

Our take

The verdict

The Benrocks 36" Insert (27.3 in High) earns its place with 36 inches of fire across the wall and 1,500 watts of supplemental heat. No buyer reviews yet, so this Benrocks built-in electric fireplace has to win you over on paper. The catch with the Benrocks: no flame-only mode in the listing, while most picks here state one. We'd pick it if you have a narrow wall or a bedroom to warm up; otherwise, put it next to the Electactic 21" Insert Log Heater Set first.

Living with it

Delivery day

A big, flat box with glass inside: open it with two people and check the front before the cardboard goes out.

The first evening

Try the flame at a few brightness settings; lower often looks more real at night. The 1,500 W heater takes the chill off the room you sit in.

Day to day

The remote on the sofa arm, the timer for bedtime, and a quick dust of the glass now and then. Our maintenance guide has the rest.

Summer

Check whether the flame can run without the heater; the listing we read doesn't say so.

The one thing we'd check first

Before you order the Benrocks 36" Insert (27.3 in High): check your wall, because the 36-inch figure has to match your opening, and a listing width can mean the frame or just the viewing area.

Before you buy

Your wall

Draw the opening on the wall with painter's tape at the real size, step back, and check it against the installation drawing. Our recessed installation guide lists the clearances to ask about.

The outlet

Pick the outlet before you pick the finish: a free one close by, nothing heavy on the same circuit, and no extension cord. Our power requirements guide lists the questions to ask.

Heat for your room

1,500 W stated. Treat it as supplemental heat for one room. Our supplemental heat planner turns your square footage into a rough answer.

Delivery and install

Glass-fronted inserts are big, flat boxes: plan two people for the unboxing, and decide early who frames the wall. Our built-in vs wall-mounted guide weighs recessed against wall-mounted.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Benrocks 36" Insert (27.3 in High) any good?

We rate it 7.1/10 (good). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.

What size and heater output does the Benrocks 36" Insert, 27.3 in High state?

Its listing states a 36-inch width, a 1,500 W heater output and recessed (in-wall) installation. Those are the maker's figures, so check in the installation drawing whether the width means the frame, the firebox or the opening. Our supplemental heat planner puts 1,500 W in context for your room.

What power supply does the Benrocks 36" Insert, 27.3 in High need?

The listing states 1,500 W heater. Read the supply, plug and circuit conditions on the exact listing and in the manual before you order, and never run a heater on an extension cord or a shared power strip. Anything beyond an existing standard outlet, hardwiring or 240 V included, is a job for a licensed electrician.

What do you get with the Benrocks 36" Insert (27.3 in High)?

Its listing states a 36-inch width, a 1,500 W heater, a 9-hour timer and a crackling-fire sound. Those are the seller's figures; for how real the flames look in a living room and how loud the fan runs at night, the buyer reviews are the better guide.

Your wall: draw the opening on the wall with painter's tape at the real size, step back, and check it against the installation drawing.
