FAQs

How does the Altitude X Series 42" compare to the 36" model in terms of heat output?

The 42" model delivers up to 38,000 BTU on natural gas versus 36,500 BTU on the 36" model. The increase in output makes the 42" better suited to larger rooms that need more consistent heat distribution across a greater square footage.

Does the eFIRE Remote App work with all Napoleon Altitude X models?

Yes. The eFIRE Remote App is compatible across the Altitude X series. This allows full control of flame height, thermostat settings, and NIGHT LIGHT™ features directly from a smartphone or tablet, regardless of fireplace size.

Is the AMBIENT-GLOW option worth adding to the Altitude X Series 42"?

AMBIENT-GLOW metal fibers sit within the ember bed and enhance the glow effect around the log set. The result is a more layered, lifelike flame presentation. It is an aesthetic upgrade rather than a functional one, but for those who prioritize visual authenticity, it makes a noticeable difference.
