The Napoleon Astound 62 FlexMount NEFL62AB is an indoor electric fireplace for homeowners who want a wide flame display and more than one way to integrate it into a room. Its appeal is the combination of wall-mounted or recessed installation, connected controls and a layered log-and-ember presentation. Choose it when the finished wall design matters as much as the fireplace itself.

Performance Highlights
A feature wall that fits the way you live
Start with the room you use every evening. A bedroom reading corner calls for a different presentation from a loft with exposed textures and a large seating area. The Astound gives you a broad horizontal focal point without needing a gas line or chimney. For a balanced layout, sketch the fireplace alongside the furniture, doors and planned artwork before choosing its height. Leave the required clearances in the manual; a lifestyle photo is inspiration, not a construction drawing.
Choose your mounting style before choosing your surround
Wall mounting offers a visible, finished appliance on the wall. Partial recessing creates a more integrated appearance, while full recessing lets the surrounding finish become part of the design. Napoleon supports three-sided wall-mounted or partially recessed arrangements and one-, two- or three-sided fully recessed configurations. These are different construction plans, so settle on the exposed glass sides first. Bring that choice to your installer before ordering tile, stone or cabinetry.
What makes the flame display different?
The Astound combines its flame effect with spark technology, Beach Fire logs and Woodland media. Thirteen ember-bed and top-light colors give you a range of lighting combinations. In a room with warm wood tones, begin with a restrained ember color; in a more graphic interior, experiment with cooler lighting. The practical benefit is that you can change the atmosphere without replacing the wall finish or decorative media.
Controls that fit a daily routine
Use the touch panel or included premium remote for adjustments, or connect through the Napoleon Home app. Compatible Google and Alexa voice control provides another option. Weekly scheduling allows heat and color settings to follow your routine. ECO operates at half heat, while BOOST uses maximum heat with increased blower speed. These modes affect operation; they do not replace the electrical supply needed for the higher rating.
Fuel Details: Electric Power & Installation
This model uses electricity rather than a combustible fuel. The manual specifies 120/240V AC, with maximum ratings of 1,500W at 120V and 3,000W at 240V, on a dedicated grounded 15A circuit. A 120V connection does not deliver the 240V heating output. Have a qualified professional plan any hardwired installation and confirm local requirements. Use the flame display without heat when you want the visual effect in milder weather.
Treat this as supplemental room heat. The warmth you feel depends on room size, insulation, ceiling height and the surrounding temperature. For a simple running-cost estimate, multiply the operating power in kilowatts by hours used and your electricity rate. Thermostat cycling and display-only operation change actual consumption.

Before You Order: Four Project Decisions
- Choose the location. Measure the usable wall, nearby furniture and the sightline from your usual seat.
- Choose the installation. Give your installer the exact model number and selected viewing or mounting arrangement.
- Confirm the electrical plan. Check the supply, circuit and connection before closing the wall.
- Choose the finish. Account for any optional media, framing, finishing materials and labor in the project budget.
If a television is part of the wall, review both manufacturers' clearance and temperature requirements with your installer. A photograph is not approval for a particular TV height.
Why Choose the Napoleon Astound 62 FlexMount?
The strongest reason to choose the Astound is flexibility: it suits a project where you want connected operation and a choice of how the glass meets the room. It is especially useful to compare during the design stage, while you can still adjust the wall depth and viewing arrangement. If you simply want the shallowest body of these three models, examine the Entice 60 as well. If LCD flame imagery and crackling audio are your main priorities, compare the Luminex 65.
