    Overview

    The Touchstone Sideline Elite® Electric Fireplace, now with WiFi enabled smart technology for the same low price, was designed to improve upon our popular Sideline series by adding more colors, more features, and less frame around the fireplace. Now you can enjoy the traditional style of Touchstone’s Sideline Electric Fireplace with smart-home features. The Sideline Elite Wi-Fi has the realistic flame which has made Touchstone the leader in premium electric fireplaces, that you can now control with Alexa or Google Home voice-enabled commands. First and foremost, this is Touchstone’s Elite line for a reason. Thanks to the unmatched flame quality, large format display, multiple color features and reliable design, you start with the favorite electric fireplaces of smart consumers and contractors. When you add the voice commands of Alexa or Google Home, you can control your fireplace’s power and heat thanks to Touchstone’s smart home features.

    The Sideline Elite® delivers the beauty of a fireplace without the fire and smokey smell. This smart electric fireplace has 2 heat settings (high and low) with a thermostat and will heat a room up to 400 sq. ft. Also, the fireplace's flame can be used without the heating feature. The Sideline Elite is easy to install and comes with simple and understandable instructions.

    Realistic Flame

    The heart of Touchstone's electric fireplaces is the flame itself. We tell our customers the flame will transcend your expectations, and they will not fail to impress. The flames deliver the same relaxing effect of real flames, without the smell or mess, and they look great in any room of the house. Read moreabout the benefits of electric fireplaces.

    Multiple flame colors

    To create the cozy atmosphere of a traditional fireplace, this electronic unit emits authentic-looking flames that emulate a real fire. The flames that Touchstone® fireplaces create are natural enough to have friends and family think you own a traditional wood burning fireplace.

    This fireplace has 60 color combinations, allowing you to set just the right mood. The lighting and heating options of this fireplace offer you the ability to customize your atmosphere to your liking. With both its look and performance, the Sideline Elite gives you the total package. Both the heat and flame settings can be operated through a remote control. (Batteries not included)


    Mounting and Use

    What makes the Sideline Elite® unique is its heating capabilities. It allows you to recess your electric fireplace into the wall while also providing heat through the vent in the front of the unit. The Sideline Elite offers two heat settings which quickly add heat to a room up to 400 sq. ft. Please note the heater isn’t designed to be the primary heat source in your room or home. It's designed to warm up a cool evening, or bring the temperature of a room up a few degrees. The visual appeal and heat emitted by your electric fireplace place in addition to your home’s primary heating source will provide your room with a cozy and calming aura. Your electric fireplace’s heat settings can be controlled using the remote or the controls on the front of the unit, and you also have the option of controlling the heat by setting up the Sideline Elite’s built-in heat timer.

    Product Features

    The versatile Sideline Elite electric fireplace offers two installation options. Although it is essentially designed for insertion in your wall, it can also be mounted on your wall. Instructions for mounting and install come with the fireplace, and we recommend you follow the simple instructions provided. We recommend placing your Sideline Elite at least 8” below your ceiling or 8” below your mounted flat screen TV because of its heating feature.


    • 2 heat settings (high and low) with thermostat
    • Designed for recessed mounting in wall
    • Remote control for heat and flame setting (batteries not included)
    • Dual mode operates with or without heat for only flame effect
    • Built-in timer mode for shut off up to 8 hrs
    • If mounting under a wall mounted flat panel TV, mount fireplace at least 8 inches below the bottom of the TV.

        Stand-alone installation

        We have a low two-side wood-burning fireplace we did not want to use due to expensive heat loss and we did not need extra heat., So we plugged the chimney with a DIY chimney pillow and got the slim line elite 80042 which closely matches the log-side opening of the fireplace and installed it in front with an oak surround on the sides and top. Worked out fine and looks great. We won’t be using the heat options as we don’t need them. We’ll plug it in to a smart plug and use Alexa to turn it on and off, leaving at the setting we prefer. Love the look and different color options and enhances the look of the room.

        Love it!

        I bought two of these based on another review that said if you have any doubts, just don't and buy it. I have to echo that - also buy it direct. I ordered mine on a Thursday afternoon and they arrived by Sunday morning - incredibly fast shipping. I'm renovating an entire house that was gutted completely and it's been a lot of work. Installing this fireplace has been the highlight by far. It's so easy to install, instructions are great, wifi setup was quick and painless, and the fireplace looks beautiful. My kids are really excited about all the colors and the wifi connectivity and I really appreciate the built-in thermostat. I'll be putting a recessed TV above it and the 8" minimum clearance lets me get it really close to the fireplace so it's still at eye level. This has all the features I could want and has replaced an **** thermostat and baseboard heating in my two larger bedrooms. Don't hesitate if you're on the fence - I looked at a lot of different brands and this is the best deal going. Great job guys! P.S. - the recessed rough-in dimensions are *very* exact particularly on the height. Not a horrible idea to add 1/16th-1/8 inch on the rough-in height to give the top screws a bit of room to clear the opening, otherwise it's going to fit, but tight. The bevel around the fireplace covers up everything even if you're a bit off.
