Our Verdict

This product is a replacement rocker switch for electric fireplaces. It is not a space heater.

It fits FMI, Desa, and Twin Star fireplace models from 2005 and newer. The 20 Amp rating is stronger than the 10 Amp switch it replaces.

At $9.99 for two switches, the price is very low. You get a spare for future use too.

Buy this only if your existing electric fireplace has a broken or faulty ON/OFF switch. It will not heat your space on its own.

What We Like

  • Fits many brands including Twin Star, FMI, Desa, and heater models from 2005 and newer.
  • Rated 20 Amps at 125VAC, which is double the capacity of the original 10 Amp HF616 switch it replaces.
  • 2-pack means you get one switch to install now and one spare for later.
  • Replaces multiple discontinued switch series including HF616 and Defond DRH-1215.
  • Brass contacts provide strong electrical conductivity for reliable ON/OFF switching.

What Could Be Better

  • This is a switch part only. It adds zero heating output to your home.
  • No tip-over protection or overheat shutoff is included.
  • No thermostat or temperature control. Only basic ON/OFF operation.
  • No timer or scheduling function for automated heating control.
  • No remote control or smart home connectivity of any kind.
