Heat & Glo Scion Modern Electric Fireplace

The Heat & Glo Scion is a sleek modern electric fireplace built for rooms that call for a clean, architectural focal point. Its finishing materials extend to the edge for a polished built-in appearance, while clear crystals, driftwood logs, LED flames, and ember colors create a layered fire display that feels contemporary and refined. For homeowners across Traverse City and nearby communities such as East Jordan, Houghton Lake, and Cadillac, it offers an elegant way to add atmosphere without the demands of a traditional wood-burning hearth.

Phillips Lifestyles supports the Scion with knowledgeable guidance, installation help, and in-home consultation services, making it a strong fit for buyers who want a premium fireplace and dependable local service. Whether you are refreshing a great room, planning a statement wall, or designing a new build around a linear fireplace, the Scion brings visual impact, practical supplemental heat, and a straightforward ownership experience. A nearby example of northern Michigan living that pairs well with a warm, stylish home is Young State Park, a familiar local name for residents who enjoy the area’s four-season setting.

Features and design

The Scion is designed to stand out visually while fitting naturally into modern interiors. Its linear profile suits contemporary spaces, media walls, and open-plan rooms where a conventional mantel-style fireplace would feel too heavy. By bringing the finishing materials right to the edge, the design helps the fire feature read as part of the wall rather than an accessory added afterward.

The flame presentation is equally polished. Clear crystals and driftwood logs give the firebox depth and texture, while LED flames and ember colors let the effect feel bright, warm, or more understated depending on the room and the mood you want to create. That combination gives the fireplace broad appeal for buyers who want a showpiece that also works as an everyday living space upgrade.

With a listed 5,000 BTU/hr input, the Scion is suited to supplemental heat and ambiance rather than whole-home heating. That makes it especially appealing for homeowners who want the comfort of visible fire without the cleanup, fuel handling, or venting demands that come with a traditional solid-fuel fireplace.

Available sizes and framing details

The Scion is available in more than one framing configuration, which makes it easier to align the fireplace with the scale of your project. One option lists a viewing area of 41-1/2" x 15" with a 45" framing width, 7-5/8" framing depth, and 24-1/4" framing height. Another option lists a viewing area of 53-1/4" x 15" with a 57" framing width, the same 7-5/8" framing depth, and the same 24-1/4" framing height.

That compact depth is helpful during planning because it supports streamlined wall design in renovations and new construction alike. For homeowners comparing fireplace options, those dimensions provide the kind of practical detail that helps coordinate cabinetry, surround materials, and wall framing before the project begins. Phillips Lifestyles also offers a free in-home consultation to help with measuring, placement, and product selection.

Planning, installation, and support

Phillips Lifestyles backs its product selection with services that make the buying process easier. The company provides expert installation and maintenance services for fireplaces, hot tubs, swim spas, and entertainment tables, along with free in-home consultations and additional support options. For a fireplace buyer, that means a purchase can be paired with project guidance from the start rather than treated as a standalone transaction.

That service structure is valuable if you want help thinking through placement, measurements, or how the fireplace will interact with the rest of the room. Phillips Lifestyles also invites customers to use its contact page or services page when they are ready to ask product questions or begin planning. For a direct product inquiry, the Get Information and Pricing form provides a simple next step.

Founded in 1980, Phillips Lifestyles describes itself as a family-owned Northern Michigan business with showrooms in Traverse City and Grawn. That local focus matters for buyers who value a showroom experience, clear communication, and service support from a team that works with hearth products every day.

Why it fits northern Michigan homes

The Scion works especially well for buyers who want a clean-lined fireplace that feels current without overwhelming the room. In homes around Traverse City, the look fits both contemporary builds and remodels that need a more streamlined focal point. In communities like Cadillac and East Jordan, it offers the same combination of atmosphere and convenience for family rooms, finished basements, and gathering spaces where a fireplace needs to look good in every season.

Because the Scion is electric, it also brings day-to-day simplicity. There is no wood storage, ash cleanup, or chimney-style operation to plan around, so the fireplace can be enjoyed for its design and supplemental warmth with less ongoing effort. For many homeowners, that balance of style, heat, and convenience is exactly what makes a modern electric fireplace appealing.
