How do you adjust the air supply from 1/16 to 1/8 or 3/16 as recommended if you vent out the unit out the back?
1 Answer
While we suggest that gas heath products be installed and serviced by professionals who are certified in the U.S. by the National Fireplace Institute (NFI) as NFI Gas Specialists, you can find further details about the air shutter's appearance and location by referencing pages 47, 58, and 59, among others. The shutter is adjusted by loosening the screw, rotating the shutter, and then re-tightening the screw.

Does this have different flame patterns or just what is shown?
1 Answer
You are able to adjust the flame height via a knob located on the gas valve, but please note that the flame appearance may vary from the product photo based on several variables. If you are looking for a more impressive flame with a wider range of adjustment, I recommend considering the upgraded Tahoe Premium fireplace as the Deluxe model is considered entry-level and doesn't have a very high BTU input. Additionally, the Slope Glaze burner included with both the Premium and Luxury fireplaces has internal ceramic beads that tumble the flow of gas to provide a very active and realistic flame.

November 11, 2019
Is this zero clearance? Will this work in altitude of 6000 feet? How many square feet will this heat?
1 Answer
The fireplace is considered zero clearance and will work at your altitude, but the Btu input will need to be reduced based on your elevation and the burner orifice would likely need to be changed by a local plumber or gas fitter. While the fireplace would normally be capable of heating roughly 571 square feet, however, the fireplace installed at 6000' would reduce the 20,000 Btu input to 15,200, resulting in the fireplace only being able to heat roughly 434 square feet (with standard 8' ceiling height).Â

Jake B.
from Osceola, IN asked:
November 3, 2019
How far can direct vent units be vented? How long can a horizontal vent run?
1 Answer
These answers will vary depending on the exact model, but a safe estimate is that no direct vent fireplace should be vented vertically beyond 40' or horizontally more than about 2'. You should always defer to the product literature for any fireplace you are considering when in doubt as the requirements for every manufactured direct vent gas hearth system will be different. Additionally, any elbows or offsets will limit the maximum vertical and horizontal run allowed. Lastly, there are some direct vent fireplaces that may be power vented via an in-line fan up to 100 feet away from the appliance. Since the venting would not rely on minimum rise to run ratios, power venting allows for the vent run to slope downward into a basement or crawlspace, etc., before exiting to the outdoors.Â

Do you need to select a barrier screen or is the tempered glass window sufficient by itself?
1 Answer
The fireplace's tempered glass front (included with the base price) is all that is required to operate the unit. However, the barrier screen is required by code (this is a nationwide code requirement) because of how hot the glass can get when the fireplace has been in use for a while.

Is this a 0 clearance fireplace? Will it install in a chase I have built to be flush with my interior wall?
1 Answer
This is a zero-clearance fireplace, but please note that "zero-clearance" refers to the bottom of the unit and that it can be installed directly on a wood platform or subfloor. There are small clearance requirements around the sides and back of the unit, as well as the top, which are all accounted for by the framing dimensions.

I am sending the specs of this fireplace to my architect for a sun/patio room addition. Once the plans get through the City planning I am planning to purchase this.
This will be going in a 300 sq ft room and I am hoping it can be used to heat the room when it is being used. Does this unit blow warm air out the Louvres (as opposed to a radiant type heat). I am thinking 20,000 BTU's is more than enough for this room in San Diego.
1 Answer
You are correct in assuming that 20,000 Btu would more than adequately heat the space described as you really only need about 10,500 Btus. So long as you have 8' ceilings, any number of electric fireplaces with optional 240v wiring could heat the space.
To answer your question, this fireplace would provide radiant heat via the front glass and some natural convection via the louvers located above and below the front glass, however, most customers choose to add the optional blower to enhance the convective heat transfer mechanically.
Since you mention needing the specs for this fireplace approved and being in California, please be prepared for local code enforcement to eliminate this fireplace as an option based on this particular configuration having a standing pilot. Actually, the state of California has pretty well banned the use of any standing pilot (millivolt) fireplace, however, this same fireplace is offered with a non-standing pilot electronic ignition configuration that will also operate on battery backup in the event of an outage. That model is found here.

"Heater rated" simply refers to an appliance with an efficiency high enough to be rated as an actual heating appliance and not just a decorative appliance. Considering your square footage and location, this unit would work just fine to heat your space.

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.

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.

Great Value
We were able to easily install this item and it looks great for the best price we found in three weeks of research. Customer Service was helpful with selecting the necessary accessories.

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.
