Norm
from Maine asked:
December 16, 2017
I am contemplating purchasing the Empire Tahoe Deluxe Direct Vent Propane Fireplace - 32" - DVD-32-FP30P. It is more for ambiance than heat. The max unit net output is about 14,900 BTUs per hour. The room is about 230 sq ft and I don't want to be driven out by too much heat. I can find no information either onsite or in the product manual indicating what the BTU output range is. What will this put out on the low setting? How many heat settings are there? I am surprised this info is not readily available.
1 Answer
There is only one setting. You are correct the BTU input is 18K @ 83% so the available BTU for heat transfer is ~14.9K. That is quite a bit for a 230 SF room.

Can this Empire Tahoe fireplace be vented through a fireplace flue with flexible vent that is about 25 horizontal feet?
1 Answer
This fireplace is not approved and will not function with a vent run as you describe. While flexible venting may work via the use of a coaxial rigid to colinear flexible adaptor in a masonry chimney, the horizontal run you describe would only be appropriate for a fireplace approved for use with power venting as the maximum horizontal run with no rise for this fireplace is 24".

How do you turn the speed blower on?
1 Answer
The blower for this unit has two control devices. The first is the variable speed control, which looks and functions much like a dimmer switch. The speed control must be turned clockwise to allow power to flow to the blower and adjust speed. The second control involves the temperature switch. Even with the speed control turned on, the blower will not start operating until the temperature switch heats up and closes. This usually does not occur until 10 to 15 minutes of unit operation.

Mike
from Reno, NV asked:
December 23, 2013
What do I need to buy to have an external control for the blower? Can that switch just be mounted on the wall by extending the wires, or do I need something else?
1 Answer
You can indeed relocate the blower control to the wall by using standard 14 AWG copper wire and a junction box. You will need to cut and splice the existing wiring harness to extend it.

Will the FRBTC Remote control the flame and fan of this unit?
1 Answer
No, there is no remote control option for this model that is capable of controlling the flame height or the optional blower. This feature is available on a slightly larger model, the 36" Empire Tahoe Premium Direct Vent Natural Gas RF Fireplace with Remote Control and Blower.

from Tampa, fl. asked:
August 1, 2012
Can a direct vent fireplace have wood against the fire box or does it need granite or marble on each side.
1 Answer
Almost every direct vent unit can indeed have combustible materials in close proximity to the opening of the unit. While the material cannot actually touch the unit itself, there is only a 1/8"-1/4" gap that is required. This gap would need to be covered with a decorative trim kit or filled with some sort of non-combustible mortar or silicone. Optional trim kits can be seen in the accessories section on the unit's item page.

Overall Good Value
Kelsey was a big help in ordering. Fireplace is nice and what I expected with the slight exception that the flame is pretty small and weak. If the flame was a little bigger, I would have given it 5 stars.
Proseasy to install. Good instructions.

Real Deal
My family was building a family room and wanted to add a nice gas fireplace. Our builders pricing put us into a sticker shock. I had hesitation on the quality of an on-line fireplace. I called the customer service person to walk me through buying the entire kit.
Myself and my builder were both, pleasantly surprised. Good quality, good performance, great price.
Blower fan is tad noisy on high, other than that..... zero complaints.

ProsPrice, looks, performance.
ConsA bit noisy on high, blower fan.

So Easy to Install
Just purchased the Empire Tahoe fireplace and I'm very impressed with how easy it was to install. All the instructions were easy to follow. They had already converted it to propane. It looks beautiful and works great. This is the 3rd propane direct vent fireplace that I have installed and I would buy the Empire Tahoe again.

Great Deal
I was very hesitant to buy a fireplace online, but after going all over town, eFireplaceStore offered the best deal ever. Arrived within 7 days, all parts were present and it was very easy to install. My husband was able to do it by himself with the great instructions. Been working for two weeks, no issues.

Flame is not large enough
As advertised but flame is uninspiring - delivery was problematic but rep was attentive and granted $50 discount as a result and really can't fault eFireplace. Fake brick is extra as well as a host of other things. such as remote, blower,, brick liner, etc. - basically paying $1300 for a folded metal box with gas outlet. 55" LG 4k tv seems cheap in comparison.

Great fireplace but not so easy to install
The fireplace looks geat and works well. We like it a lot. The problem(s) were all related to installation documentation. Drawings did not match the product received. Quality of drawings were less satisfactory. In some cases it was impossible to determine the proper orientation of the venting and related accessories. We called eFireplaceStore and 2 out of 3 times had to contact the manufacturer. To get the manufacturer (Empire) to talk to us we had to say we were an "installer". If you said you were the home owner, they would not talk with you "for safety/liability reasons". (I understand that). To be fair, Empire is the one who needs to clean up their installation documents. The last call we made regarding the remote switch, the technician had us pull wires from under the fireplace to connect the remote even though the instructions specifically have you connect the remote to the TP lugs on the control body. I only found confirmation of that later when I Googled it and found others reporting the same discrepancy. Again, this is an Empire issue. Be ready to Google this to find answers to specific installation issues.
ProsWell build. Simple to install once you have proper instructions.
ConsUnclear and misleading instructions.

No False Advertising Here!
The fireplace I ordered was exactly as pictured and described. Prior to ordering I had some general questions and their associate was very helpful and well informed about the products. The unit and all parts were very well packed to be protected from damage during shipping. Pricing was excellent when compared to other suppliers for the same product. Highly recommend and would purchase from again.

Nice unit for the price.
This is a decent fireplace for the price. I didn't get a blower or auto-ignition or remote. I will be ordering the remote and wish I had put the wall switch in and purchased the electronic ignition model.
Decent flame, puts off good heat even on low.
ProsFairly easy to install.
ConsShould come with remote on all models instead of being an option
Instructions were not as clearly written as they should be...especially for the venting

Great item
This arrived on time and well packaged. Instructions were excellent and it installed quickly. I had shopped around and found most fireplaces to be much more expensive. I have purchased half a dozen over the past years or so; some upwards of $2k. At the end of the day, they all kick out a flame. Naturally,, the $2k unit looks better .... but not THAT much better. I wish I had bought the remote control, which I will be adding today.

Great Fireplace For the Money
This is a very nice looking fireplace when someone compares it with the price tag. The only real negative to be discussed is that the flames really do not get all that high.
