Heater output, per the listing

The heat the listing states, next to 5,118 BTU and a 1,000 sq ft coverage claim. 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

28 in wide, per the listing. A classic size that sits well on most living-room walls. Tape the outline on the wall before you order; a mantel always looks smaller in the photos.

1,500 W / 5,118 BTU, up to 1,000 sq ft claimed. Supplemental heat for the room you sit in: it takes the edge off a cold evening while the furnace stays turned down. The 1,000 sq ft figure is the seller's; real coverage depends on your insulation, windows and ceiling. Our supplemental heat planner puts it in numbers for your room.

Flame without heat. The heater and the flame run separately, so you can have the glow in July without warming the room. The fireplace earns its place all year, not only in January.

Living room or bedroom?

For the living room, a 1,000 sq ft coverage claim is pitched at a main room, not a box room. A mantel is a centrepiece, with a shelf for the photos and the stockings.

For a bedroom or a study, at 28 in wide it fits a bedroom wall or a study. The flame runs without heat, so it can glow on a warm night too.

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

Great for you if…

You want the chill off one room on cold evenings
You want the glow all year, heat or no heat

Skip it if…

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
You want to run it from your phone: the listing names no app or WiFi

Price and cost per inch of width

$1,499.99 Price on Sep 30, 2026 · may have changed

At the price on Sep 30, 2026, each stated inch of width costs about $54. That puts it in the pricier third of the 22 mantel fireplaces 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.

Our take

The verdict

We like the Dimplex Featherston Mantel Package for a 28-inch mantel and a 1,500 W heater. No buyer reviews yet, so this Dimplex electric fireplace with mantel has to win you over on paper. The catch with the Dimplex Featherston Mantel Package: watts and square-footage claims are the seller's, so your room, windows and insulation decide what you really feel. We'd pick the Dimplex Featherston Mantel Package if you want the chill off one room on cold evenings; otherwise, put it next to the Bowery Hill 64" Freestanding Mantel first.

Living with it

Delivery day

Check how many boxes arrive. Keep the anti-tip hardware where you can find it; it goes on before anything goes on top.

The first evening

Try the flame at a few brightness settings; lower often looks more real at night. The 1,500 W / 5,118 BTU heater takes the chill off the room you sit in.

Day to day

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

Summer

Heater off, flame on: the glow stays on the wall in July without warming the room.

The one thing we'd check first

Before you order the Dimplex Featherston Mantel Package: check the wall, because 28 in of mantel needs that much clear wall, plus an outlet within cord reach behind it.

Before you buy

Your wall

Tape the mantel's outline on the wall at full size and live with it for a day; it is the cheapest way to know. Our mantel package guide has the rest.

The firebox inside

Check which insert you are actually getting, because photos can show a different one.

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.

Assembly day

Mantels ship flat and heavy: plan two people, an afternoon, and the anti-tip hardware the manual asks for.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Dimplex Featherston Mantel Package any good?

We rate it 7.0/10 (good). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.

What size and heater output does the Dimplex Featherston Mantel Package state?

Its listing states a 28-inch width, a 1,500 W heater output and freestanding installation. Those are the maker's figures, so tape the width on the floor and check it against your wall and your TV before you order. Our supplemental heat planner puts 1,500 W in context for your room.

What power supply does the Dimplex Featherston Mantel Package 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 Dimplex Featherston Mantel Package?

Its listing states a 28-inch mantel, a 1,500 W heater and a flame that runs without the heat. 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.

What should I check before ordering the Dimplex Featherston Mantel Package?

Your wall: tape the mantel's outline on the wall at full size and live with it for a day; it is the cheapest way to know. Our mantel package guide has the rest. The firebox inside: check which insert you are actually getting, because photos can show a different one. 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. Assembly day: mantels ship flat and heavy: plan two people, an afternoon, and the anti-tip hardware the manual asks for.

Where can I buy the Dimplex Featherston Mantel Package?
