Does this unit need an external gas tank or is one attached?
1 Answer
This unit is designed to be fed from an external fuel tank. While a larger fuel tank is preferable, the smallest recommended tank is a 20 pound cylinder, which would fuel this heater for approximately 18 hours before emptying.

December 18, 2011
How can I avoid the difficulty starting where the flame dies-out while turning the dial from start to low?
1 Answer
This concern is reminiscent of one we see often when supply pressure to a gas appliance is too low. Using a manometer, confirm that you have a pressure of at least 11" of w.c.being supplied to the unit.

Added another heater to our cabin
Bought two empire heaters earlier this year for our cabin. Delivers quickly and nothin broken needed another for the basement so got another. They are dependable and really pour out the heat, even at 9,000 feet and 28 degrees outside.

eFireplaceStore promptly replaced the broken glass that I found assembling and installing the unit. Very friendly and fast. I would recommend buying from them.

Hot Spot
My new little hot spot is very much what I expected. Lighting the pilot and having it stay lit after installation was brutal, otherwise good. Also, it takes a while to get used to the odor which it certainly has.

A Space Heater You Gotta Love!
This space heater is trim, neat, quiet and efficient. We haven't had any real cold days to test what it can really do, but have noticed it can be set on a lower setting than our old space heater to achieve the same results. We were very pleased with the service at eFireplaceStore.com. We received our order in a timely fashion and the heater was in good condition when it arrived. We would recommend doing business with this company.

This heater is hottt!
This heater does what it says. Easy to install, easy to operate and effective and efficent. We heat a 500 sq. ft. room in minutes flat. Have even opened up our double doors to the main section of the house to let some heat in there and our purchase is paying off. Our electric provider gives us weekly updates and our kwh useage has decreased by approx. 15% already. Thanks for a great product!
ProsEasy installation, operation, effective heat source and efficent
ConsNone and this is the 2nd heater like this we have. Other smaller unit heats our business shop.

very happy with this purchase!
Very happy with the Empire vent free heater. Heats up my sunroom quickly even when it is below freezing outside. Ordering was easy, and everything arrived on time and in perfect shape. Adding the blower makes a big difference as well!

Good quality unit!
Good appearance and finish. Works fine..I have seen less expensive heaters, but they were made in China! I would recommend this ventless heater to anyone! Makes a great backup if you loose your electric!

Well made wall heater
This Empire BF30 natural gas wall heater is very well made. It has more than the typical sheet metal body of cheaper heaters sold at local hardware stores. It worked perfectly from the minute I installed it and the previous local model never functioned properly and I had to return it.
I am looking forward to many years of faithful service from this unit.
ProsVery good construction
ConsExpensive

Great Heater
Unit did come in with broken glass but eFireplace sent a replacement glass with no hassle. Well built and easy to install. Originally bought one from a local hardware store and did not realize it was made in China until I got it installed and it did not work. Bought this one and the quality is worth the extra money.

Great Unit - Will Keep You Warm
Be sure to order the fan kit as well it really works to throw that heat .You will have to install it yourself in the unit. If you want to have it free stand on the floor you have to order the stand or it can only go on the wall.
The picture is showing it with the stand on it you will need to order it as an extra. This unit will keep you warm and you will not be disappointed .
Good for 400 sq ft - not a problem.
Consit was shipped in a box the glass was missing and so was the owner manual .
they shipped me a new glass but they charge me for it . $36.00

Pleasant to Watch
Our frigid mountain cabin needed an efficient heater--this one fit the bill. We had expected the base to be included, but it was not, so we had to purchase that separately. To turn the unit on and off, you have to remove the glass safety panel. Since we have no children or pets, we just leave that off so we don't have to be moving it so frequently. The heater keeps the space warm; is pleasurable to watch the flames.

A service technician with 17 years of experience installed this unit for me. He recommended it as a durable, dependable heater.
