Who It's For
Some of the best spots for a fire are too narrow for a fireplace. You want one that fits at eye level in a kitchen or bath. The Mendota M27 Chelsea is made for that. Settle for a basic box and the fire never becomes the room's focal point.
What Makes It Special
Mendota says the Chelsea's narrow form lets you place it at eye level in a kitchen or bath, or use it as a traditional fireplace in a cozy bedroom or living space.
Its flame height adjusts down to a gentle fire, and dual blowers come standard to move the warmth into the room.
In a power outage the burner and flame height keep working; the fans wait for the power to return. Mendota builds its fireplaces from heavy-gauge steel with full-seam welding and careful hand assembly in America's heartland.
Possible Downsides
- The decorative front is sold separately. Pick one of Mendota's fronts or door sets to finish it.
- The fans need power. In an outage the burner and flame height work, but the fans do not.
If you want a fireplace that becomes the center of the room, the Mendota M27 Chelsea is the right decision. The room fills with warmth and everyone ends up gathered by the fire.
Choose a front, door set, overlay, and liner such as firebrick, herringbone, or tile.

Can you get an instant online estimate for the Mendota M27 Chelsea?
Yes—right on this page. Configure the Mendota M27 Chelsea and get a free, no-obligation instant estimate covering the unit as configured, a fitting vent kit, and professional installation labor. No phone call required.
What's included in the online estimate?
The unit with the options you selected, a real vent kit matched to your venting, and the installation labor for a typical setup. Your free one-to-two-hour in-home visit confirms every detail before anything is ordered.
Who pulls the permit?
We do, on every job, in every jurisdiction we serve—and we meet the inspector. It's built into the process, not an upsell.
Can you see the Mendota M27 Chelsea in a photo of your own room?
Yes. The Visualizer tab on this page renders the Mendota M27 Chelsea into a straight-on photo of your wall, scaled to the room, so you see it in your space before you price a thing. Phone photos are fine. It's a faithful preview, not an architectural drawing; sizing, venting, and trim get confirmed at the free in-home visit.
Is the online estimate real, or a rough guess?
Real, and honest about what it is: a price for the Mendota M27 Chelsea as configured, a fitting vent kit, and professional installation labor, built from real Seattle installs. It is not binding. The free one-to-two-hour in-home visit checks your actual house before the price is final, and nothing is ordered until then.
Do you install and service the Mendota M27 Chelsea yourselves?
Yes, both. Our own in-house installers set the Mendota M27 Chelsea, run the venting and the gas, pull the permit, and light the first fire before leaving. Afterward the service desk looks after every unit that came from Sutter, with factory-trained technicians and a real date when you call.
