Frequently Asked Questions

  • No, the Altitude X 36 is a zero-clearance unit, meaning it does not require a pre-existing chimney and can be installed within its own framed enclosure. It uses either rigid or flexible 5-inch inner diameter / 8-inch outer diameter double-wall gas vent pipe, and can vent horizontally through an exterior wall or vertically through the roof. You can also install it into an existing masonry fireplace as an efficient upgrade.

  • The Napoleon Altitude X 36 delivers up to 36,500 BTUs of heat output, making it a capable room heater for medium to large living spaces. It includes a heat-circulating blower with variable speed and thermostatic control to distribute warmth efficiently throughout the room. An optional Hot Air Distribution Kit is also available to channel warm air into adjacent rooms via flexible ducting.

  • Yes, the Napoleon Altitude X 36 is available in both natural gas (model AX36NTE) and propane (model AX36PTE) configurations, so you can choose the fuel type that matches your home's existing supply. Be sure to select the correct model at the time of purchase, as the units are not interchangeable without a conversion kit. Both versions share the same design, BTU output, and feature set.

  • The Altitude X 36 offers an extensive range of customization, including a choice of eight decorative fronts, six interior brick panel options (such as MIRRO-FLAME™ Porcelain Reflective Radiant Panels, Westminster Standard and Herringbone, Newport Standard, and Old Town Red), and four premium hand-painted log set styles including Driftwood, Oak, Birch, and Maple. Front options include the Zen front in Charcoal or Black, as well as the Whitney and Denali premium fronts with optional iron elements in Satin Nickel, Antique Pewter, or Burnished Brass finishes.

For controls, the fireplace includes a full-function Proflame II remote control as well as the Napoleon eFIRE Remote App, which allows you to adjust flame intensity, heat output, blower speed, and the NIGHT LIGHT™ from any mobile device. The unit also features an electronic ignition system for reliable, effortless start-up.
