Majestic Echelon II: Mid-Tier Modern Linear
The Majestic Echelon II is a standard direct vent gas linear fireplace we install regularly in DFW homes. This page walks you through the specs, who the Echelon II fits, what installation looks like in our market, and how it compares to similar models — written by people who actually install these units, not by a brand catalog.
> *If you’d rather skip the research and talk through your specific space, call us at 817-635-6260. We’ll tell you in five minutes whether the Echelon II is a fit or whether something else makes more sense.*
Majestic Echelon II Specs Overview
The Majestic Echelon II is a standard direct vent gas linear fireplace designed for interior installations in framed or masonry chase enclosures. Heat output is rated at approximately 30,000 BTU/hr, which is well-suited to typical 250–450 sq ft living areas with moderate ceilings.
Key spec dimensions our installers verify before quoting:
- **Fuel type:** Natural gas or propane (configurable at install)
- **Vent system:** Direct-vent coaxial through exterior wall or roof
- **Glass / viewing area:** large picture-window glass face — primary aesthetic feature
- **Blower / fan:** optional thermostatically-controlled blower kit
- **Control type:** millivolt + wall switch standard, IPI / remote / smart-home upgrade paths available
- **Framing requirements:** confirmed against the manufacturer’s installation manual for your specific serial revision — clearances vary by year
We always verify the unit’s published spec sheet against the actual room we’re working in. A Echelon II that fits perfectly on paper still has to clear floor joists, ceiling plates, gas-line runs, and any structural members the homeowner hasn’t seen. That’s why our quote process starts with a site visit, not a phone call.
Who the Echelon II Is For
The Majestic Echelon II fits a specific kind of homeowner. You want a reliable, well-supported, mid-market fireplace from a brand whose parts are stocked locally. The Echelon II is a workhorse — installed in thousands of DFW homes, easy to service, parts always available.
Specifically, the Echelon II is the right call when:
- You want a fireplace that just works for the next 20 years without drama
- You value parts availability and a service network over cutting-edge aesthetics
- You want a comfortable monthly install-budget conversation
- The room layout supports the Echelon II’s linear/wide profile
The Echelon II is *not* the right call when you’re chasing the absolute lowest install price, when your room can’t accommodate the venting path, or when you’d be happier with an electric unit that requires no gas line and no chimney work. We’ll tell you that on the site visit — we don’t push units that aren’t a fit.
Installation Considerations in DFW
In DFW, installing a Majestic Echelon II touches city building permits, gas-line work (if conversion), framing modifications, and inspection signoff. None of that is exotic — but every step has a way to go wrong, which is why we sequence it carefully.
What we typically deal with:
- **Venting path** — coaxial direct-vent runs need to clear bird-safe terminations, exterior-wall offsets, and 8-ft minimum from grade or operable openings (per IFGC 503.8)
- **Gas line** — sized to the unit’s BTU input, with appropriate sediment trap and shutoff at the appliance (Texas plumbing code)
- **Framing** — clearances per the manufacturer’s manual, with header sizing for the chase opening
- **Permits** — most DFW cities require a gas / mechanical permit for a new fireplace install; we pull those, not you
- **Inspection** — final inspection by city building department, with manometer pressure test on the gas line
Older homes — particularly Park Cities, Fort Worth historic districts, and some Lakewood properties — sometimes hide structural surprises (failed headers, hidden chimney chases, asbestos around old flues). When we find one of those, we stop and have a conversation before charging forward.
How the Echelon II Compares to Similar Models
Within the Majestic lineup, the Echelon II sits alongside several alternatives. It tends to be the right pick when you want the brand reliability and the parts network without paying for top-tier features you wouldn’t use.
Compared to other brands at this tier, the Echelon II competes head-on with the comparable mid-market gas units from Majestic, Heatilator, Napoleon, and Regency. The differences come down to:
- **Build quality and finish detail** — visible in the firebox, the glass frame, and the trim
- **Burner aesthetics** — flame pattern, ember-bed realism, log set quality
- **Control electronics** — basic millivolt vs. IPI vs. smart-home-integrated
- **Service network depth** — how fast can we get a replacement IPI module, fan motor, or glass panel
For most homeowners, the Echelon II hits the right balance. If you’re choosing between this and another model and not sure which way to lean, that’s exactly the kind of conversation we have on a site visit.
Real-World Install Context
In DFW, we’ve installed the Echelon II in production homes from Highland, Toll Brothers, and similar builders, plus countless one-off remodels in Bedford, Hurst, Euless, Colleyville, and Grapevine. Common scenarios:
- **New custom build** — coordinated with builder framing, single-pass install, surround built around it after
- **Remodel / replacement** — old prefab gets removed, chase reframed if needed, new Echelon II dropped in, surround rebuilt
- **Conversion** — old wood-burning masonry fireplace, gas line run, insert recommended instead — this model is for new framed openings, not retrofits
We always document the install with photos at each stage, deliver the manual to the homeowner, and walk through the operation before we leave.
Pricing Context
We don’t publish fixed prices for the Majestic Echelon II on this page, and there’s a reason: the unit price is only one line on the quote. The total project cost depends on whether we’re running a new gas line, framing a new chase, building a custom surround, integrating a smart-home control, and what your city’s permit fees look like.
For ballpark planning, premium-tier installations of architectural fireplaces typically land in the upper-five-figure range when you include surround and finishing work. Mid-market gas fireplace installs are typically a fraction of that. Wood-burning installs vary widely depending on chimney work.
The accurate number for *your* project comes from a site visit. Call 817-635-6260 and we’ll schedule one. Quotes are written, itemized, and good for 30 days.
FAQ — Majestic Echelon II
Q: How long does a Majestic Echelon II install take?A: Once permits are pulled and materials staged, a typical install takes 2–4 days for a standard chase, longer if we’re framing new or rebuilding a surround. We give you a calendar at quote time, not after.
Q: Will the Echelon II heat my whole room?A: It depends on the room — square footage, ceiling height, insulation, and exposure all matter. The 30,000 BTU/hr output is plenty for a typical great room, but we’ll model your specific room before we promise anything.
Q: Can I get the Echelon II with a remote or smart-home control?A: Yes — most Majestic units offer IPI ignition, optional remote, and integration paths to Lutron, Crestron, and similar systems. We wire it during install.
Q: What’s the warranty on the Echelon II?A: Majestic warranties vary by component — typically lifetime on the firebox, multi-year on burners and electronics, shorter on glass and aesthetic parts. We register your warranty at install and keep a copy on file.
Q: How often does the Echelon II need service?A: Annual inspection and tune-up. We sweep, check seals, verify pilot/IPI operation, clean the glass, vacuum the burner pan, and confirm gas pressures. Skipping years voids the warranty and shortens the unit’s life.
