Why it’s ideal for Custom Hearth customers
If you’re looking for an elegant, convenient heating solution that fits into a variety of settings — whether you’re updating an older wood-fireplace, converting a condemned chimney, or simply creating a new warm gathering space — the GE3 is a standout choice. With no venting required and a clean, low-maintenance design, it’s perfect for high-traffic living rooms, condos, or secondary rooms where simplicity is key. Also, the rich flame visuals and log options allow your client to match the insert to their décor and ambience goals.
Installation & Usage Tips
-
Ensure the cavity dimensions meet manufacturer guidelines; the tapered design helps fit many existing openings.
-
Though a simple plug-in unit, verify electrical connection meets local code (for 120 V or 240 V as required).
-
Encourage customers to experiment with flame colour and ambient bed settings — this makes the insert work visually even with heat off, for year-round use.
-
Position remote handily and sync the mobile app for best convenience; show how the crackle sound effect adds immersive warmth.
-
Since this is offered by Custom Hearth, be sure to highlight that we can service, maintain and retrofit as needed — offering full support from selection through installation and ongoing care in our Port Orchard and Poulsbo locations.
