Hi,The Serendipity has a top vent heater. We do have a couple of wall mount fireplaces that have front blowers. Here are the links for those 2 fireplaces: ClassicFlame 36II100GRG Wall Hanging Fireplace and ClassicFlame 47II100GRG Felicity 47" Wall Mounted Electric Infrared Quartz Fireplace, Black Glass FrameThanks!

The heat blows down from the front, at the top of the glass. The unit is nicely designed and well-thought out.

It blows the heat out if in heat mode. WE have no issues and it is completely encapsulated.

Yes, the Top will be Hot & for a long while. I would not recommend It.Unless U can somehow get an exhaust Fan in behind Blow exhaust out or up.

The top, sides and back do not. But, the front where the heating elements are and the air blows out does get pretty hot.

It blows reasonably hard. I can feel warm air on high when I hold my hand about 3 1/2 feet from the blower when it's on high. When it's on low, I can feel warm air about 18" from the blower..

Yes the heat does come from the top. It is a blower and quite strong. We have it in our bedroom which is very large situated directly above the garage, the heater is located near (within 5 feet) of sliding doors. If the heat is set to high the room heats up within minutes and if left on becomes far too warm in the room. The other evening when the temps (in CT) were below zero we had the fireplace on high and fell asleep. A couple of hours later it was so hot in the room we needed to turn off the fireplace and open the sliding doors to cool off the room, temp had to be in the 80's. Trust me, this is well worth the purchase. I hardly ever rate products but this one I definitely had to.

The fan blows out Thursday the front at the top. I think there is just some type of filter built-in. I really like the unit.

Yes all the heat is blown out the front by a fan and the top never heats up. My wife has candles, pictures and cuttings on the top of our Duraflame.

Heats from the sides. Mine is slightly cooler on the front otherwise nice even heat.

it's only a fan. It will blow whatever temperature air from the area you place it in. The movement of air will feel cooler then stationary air.

Heat comes out the back. (which would be the bottom if you are trying to put the image on the celing) As long as you can keep the vent free of obstructions you should be good, but if you can't do that then you may have a problem.

Most of the heat comes from the sides and not the back. I don't know how that will work in your situation.

Mine does the same thing, the motor for the blower heats up in use, as a result, the air is warm do to the fact that air is pulled past the motor inside the unit. But there will be a significant difference in heat when the heat is turned on either on low or the high setting. If there's no heat difference then you may have a problem. Hope this helps.

It does blow out of the top in the back. but it blows straight up. I guess I wouldn't want it real close to a wall or under a picture or two which would then get any dirt that didn't get filtered by the 3 filters. I don't think there is any such dirt but who knows?

I put the blower in mine, does not move a lot of air. The blower switch is on the back of the heater, so you can not see it.

Agree with Peter. I have mine mounted in the front and its pullsing air in. Super quite, you'll love them.
