Empire DV25SG Direct Vent Gas Wall Furnace - Natural Gas - DV-25-SGNAT

This purchase of heater & thermostat replaced the same models in a greenhouse which worked great for 13 years. I replaced the old items with precisely the same models because I was satisfied with them; the replacements suit me fine and were easy to install by my HVAC installer.

So 20 years ago I did a house renovation and had a 250 sq. foot space that I could not get a heating duct to. I did some research and discovered the Empire 10,000BTU wall mounted heater. It seemed like the best option for the space. It was great. Kept us toasty in the winter.

The unit had some issues last spring and rather than try to fix it I opted for a new one. I love it. My wife loves it. Good job.

Excellent product. Easy to install. Very well built, heavy duty. Heats my 1000 sq ft off grid cabin very well. 5 stars!

This unit warms our 450 sq.ft. mancave unobtrusively. It quickly brings our basement area up to a comfortable temp. It is easy to start and, with a remote thermostat, easy to control.

Replacement for the original that was approximately 18 years old. The heating chamber rusted through.

My husband has Multiple Sclerosis and it has gotten hard for me to haul and chop wood. We are excited about our new easy to use fireplace

If you can hook up a stove or dryer you can hook up this furnace. Very easy to setup and operate. Very happy with purchase. There is a lot of smoke when if first fires up so be aware that it is normal. If you read the instructions and manual it will state this.

We have heated a about 800 sq ft two story home in Akaska for more than twenty years with the above heater. I could not be happier with it. We have replaced ONE thurma couple in all the years with NO other problems. No worries about heat durning power outages. It is number 1 on my list of best buys ever. You can not go wrong with an empire gas stove.

Not the most efficient, but makes up for it by a simple install.

My wife and I both like the heater, seems to be very efficient and she warm on the other side of the room

My mother has a small rental cabin on her property and we needed a new heat source for it.
We were somewhat desperate due to being in the middle of a cold snap.
While preparing the cabin to rent, we discovered the vent free gas fireplace, was emitting carbon monoxide at dangerous levels. We looked into a vented
fireplace, but the unit and installation would have cost us $3800.00. Kinda steep for a little cabin Which only provides a modest income . We looked into gas wall furnaces, and found the efireplacestore.com. The salesman we talked to was VERY knowledgeable about MANY types of heating sources. He really helped us find just the right size, type to suit our needs. We were able to get a natural gas console wall heater perfectly suited for the cabin at a much lower cost!

Heats required amount of space to be needed (800 sq ft). Pezo & gas control valve hard to access if unit is mounted low such as 8" from floor.

I used this for one winter a few years back to heat my new 1200 square foot home because I did not yet have my permanent radiant heating system completed. I did buy the fan kit later as well which is definitely needed if you plan to heat more than a single room. Worked great with no issues and kept the whole house warm and toasty. Used 600 gallons of propane that winter, same as my radiant system in later years. I'd recommend this heater to anyone...

This heater is a good choice for heating a Small room or cabin. It takes no electricity and uses outside air. I'm using it to heat a patrol cabin in the hills near mt. Rainier.

Slight dent in front, but most likely a shipping issue..

I installed this unit in a 77-year-old cabin high in the Santa Cruz mountains. After using it for nearly ten years, it still does a great job of producing heat. It has developed a bang when it starts and stops, but it may be a problem with the heat chamber, which is covered by a ten year warranty.

When the first snow of the season came, I had just installed my Empire DV 35. What a joy to enjoy its warm heat in my Sierra mountain cabin while I watched the snowfall out my large window. That experience to me is the definition of Empire Happiness.

Because of the position of the blower, the heat cause the top of the unit to get very hot. It would be better if the blower were on the top part of the unit and directed the heat down toward the bottom.

This unit was purchased for a rental property. Since it was installed very recently, I am unsure how it will affect the gas bill as of yet. I believe, however, that the thermostat is defective since the heater will not cycle on and off.

This quiet, efficient heater warms my 250 square foot cabin with no problem. The safe direct vent exhaust gives me peace of mind.

I used this heater for five years without any problems and was very happy with it. Last year, I had to replace the thermocoupler. Now, at the start of another winter, it appears that the thermocoupler is again broken. Unfortunately, it is not a cheap part since the unit uses the more expensive wired coupler instead of the tube version.

Our little heater, though not very attractive, keeps us from having to burn fuel in our vacation cabin. It keeps the pipes from freezing at 45 degrees on low, which is a better track record than other heaters which keep pipes from freezing at 60 degrees. We can use ours to dry wet clothes by placing them in front of the blower. Our children enjoy curling up underneath the heater to sleep.
