Why Look for a Replacement?
The Napoleon Alluravision stood out for its slim profile, vibrant flame effects, versatile installation options, and affordability. Though popular, it was discontinued due to outdated technology.

The Modern Ember Aerus is a remarkable upgrade to the Alluravision, offering enhanced minimalist design, advanced features, and smart integration. With its sleek profile and cutting-edge technology, the Aerus seamlessly fits into interiors of all styles.
A favorite feature of Alluravision was the slim profile, which could be flush mounted within a standard wall without significant construction. Either unit will work wall mounted - the Slim version installs easily in existing wall frames since it's 4.25" construction sits nicely in a 2x4" wall.

Choosing the Right Alternative
When choosing a replacement for the Napoleon Alluravision electric fireplace, consider the following.
Scope of the space: Larger rooms can easily be home to larger models like the Aerus in 60” or even 72”. Cozy rooms maintain better balance with smaller units like Aerus or Dimplex in 36”.
Recessed Installation: If you plan to recess the fireplace into a wall, you’ll need a slim model like the Aerus Slim or Dimplex Slim, designed to fit standard 2x4 wall construction seamlessly.
Wall Bump-Out or Existing Fireplace Installation: For installations that allow for additional depth, such as bumping out a wall or retrofitting into an existing fireplace, the classic Aerus provides an excellent solution with its deeper profile.
Features and controls: Smart features, like app or voice integration, add convenience and modernity.
