Dimplex Ignite Evolve Fireplaces

What the Dimplex Ignite Evolve Offers

The Dimplex Ignite Evolve is a single-model linear electric fireplace family built around Multi-Fire® flame technology, Comfort$aver® ceramic heating, and a frameless edge-to-edge glass face. It adds Flame Connect® mobile app control via Wi-Fi, an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts firebox brightness to room conditions, and a multi-tonal tumbled glass and driftwood log media bed. Available in 50″, 60″, 74″, and 100″ widths, the Ignite Evolve heats up to 1,000 sq ft in supplemental mode and produces 5,118 BTU at 120V or 8,530 BTU at 240V. The cool-touch glass is rated safe around children, pets, and adjacent furnishings.

How the Ignite Evolve Differs from the IgniteXL

The Evolve adds Flame Connect® mobile app control, an ambient light sensor, and a multi-tonal tumbled glass media bed that the standard IgniteXL does not include. Both lines share identical Multi-Fire® flame, identical Comfort$aver® heating, identical 5,118 BTU at 120V / 8,530 BTU at 240V output, the same eight flame color themes, and the same 3-1/2″ (2x4) or 5-1/2″ (2x6) framing depth. The dimplex ignite xl vs evolve decision is about smart features and media-bed aesthetics; the flame and heat are the same. Choose the Evolve for app control and auto-dimming, the IgniteXL for the same flame and heat without smart features. See the Dimplex IgniteXL collection for the non-app version.

Size Range and Installation Requirements

The Ignite Evolve is available in four widths: 50″, 60″, 74″, and 100″ — the dimplex ignite evolve 60 sits at the center of the range, and the dimplex ignite evolve 74 fits a 74-inch finished opening. All sizes share identical electrical specs (1,500W at 120V / 2,500W at 240V) and the same framing depth options: 3-1/2″ minimum on a 2x4 wall (with optional XLFTRIM trim kit) or 5-1/2″ flush in a 2x6 wall. Outdoor certification applies under a qualifying overhang where Maximum Height does not exceed 3 times the Projection Length — the same rule that governs the IgniteXL Bold. Indoor installations carry a 5-year limited warranty; outdoor installations carry 1 year. See the Ignite Evolve size guide for full framing dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes does the Dimplex Ignite Evolve come in?

50″, 60″, 74″, and 100″. All four sizes share Multi-Fire® flame, Comfort$aver® heating, and identical electrical specs. Full framing dimensions are documented in the size guide.

What is the difference between the Dimplex Ignite Evolve and IgniteXL?

Flame Connect® app control, an ambient light sensor, and a multi-tonal tumbled glass media bed are exclusive to the Evolve. Both lines share identical Multi-Fire® flame, Comfort$aver® heating, BTU output, and framing depth options. The IgniteXL is the same flame and heat without the smart features.

Does the Dimplex Ignite Evolve connect to an app?

Yes — Flame Connect® via Wi-Fi. The app controls flame color, brightness, speed, and the heater independently, alongside thermostat and sleep timer. The ambient light sensor works automatically alongside app control.

Can the Dimplex Ignite Evolve be used outdoors?

Yes, under a qualifying sheltering overhang where Maximum Height (bottom of fireplace to bottom of overhang) does not exceed 3 times the Projection Length. Outdoor installations carry a 1-year limited warranty; indoor installations carry 5 years.

How much does it cost to run the Dimplex Ignite Evolve?

Roughly the cost of running a 1,500-watt heater for the hours you keep it on — a few dollars per day in heat-on mode at typical U.S. rates. The Multi-Fire® flame and Comfort$aver® heater operate independently, so flame-only mode draws a fraction of the wattage.
