Our Verdict

This Durablow element is a replacement infrared heating part for Heat Surge and Real Flame electric fireplaces. It is not a standalone heater you can plug into a wall.

The element runs at 1350 watts on 120 volts. That produces roughly 4,600 BTUs of infrared heat per hour when installed correctly.

At $6.25, this part costs a tiny fraction of what a new fireplace unit would cost. If your fireplace stopped heating, this fix makes sense financially.

All safety features like tip-over protection and overheat shutoff come from your existing fireplace unit. This element has no built-in controls of any kind.

Buy this only if your Heat Surge or Real Flame fireplace needs a new heating element. It will not work in other fireplace brands.

What We Like

  • Costs only $6.25, which is far cheaper than buying a new electric fireplace.
  • Delivers 1350 watts of infrared heat, a strong output for a replacement component.
  • Fits both Heat Surge Amish Heater and Real Flame electric fireplace models.
  • Compact size of 8.27 inches long makes it easy to install in the existing unit.
  • Infrared technology heats objects and people directly without warming air first.

What Could Be Better

  • This part does not work on its own. You must have a compatible fireplace unit to use it.
  • No tip-over protection is built into this element.
  • No overheat shutoff is included in this component.
  • No thermostat, timer, or remote control functions are present.
  • Only fits specific Heat Surge and Real Flame fireplace models, limiting compatibility.
