How do you open the glass front for cleaning?
1 Answer
You would release the retention clips along the bottom frame of the glass. Pull the glass from the bottom forward to about a 45 degree angle and then the glasswill lift off the top as well.

Are there blower fans and a remote control available to control heat output?
1 Answer
This model does offer an optional blower and remote control. There is no remote control option with flame height or blower speed control. However, both features are available on the upgraded Empire Tahoe Premium series, model number DVP36FP91P (for propane).

Does the glass viewing window open?
1 Answer
As is the case with all direct vent fireplaces, the front glass is fixed and should only be opened when performing service or maintenance.

This fireplace was installed by a new home builder. Most of the work was performed by sub-contractor, so I have some concerns that it may have not been properly insulated. During cold weather we feel cold drafts coming from the bottom area when the fireplace is not in use. Is there a method to verify proper insulation on the outside of the outer box without tearing apart the tile and drywall? Can the outer box be insulated with normal fiberglass house batting without fear of fire?
1 Answer
Unfortunately, the outer firebox chassis may not be covered with insulation as this may cause the fireplace to overheat. As the chase should have been properly insulated to the same level as the rest of the home to prevent the issue you describe, I recommend contacting the builder.

December 22, 2015
What is the Fireplace Barrier Screen and why do we need it?

from Stockholm, SD asked:
December 22, 2015
Why must we choose a barrier screen for this Empire Tahoe Deluxe direct vent propane fireplace? What is the barrier screen for?
1 Answer
The barrier screen is required by law for direct vent units. They create a barrier that keeps anyone from making contact with the glass front, which is extremely hot.

I am looking into purchasing this Empire Tahoe Deluxe direct vent propane fireplace DVD-36-FP30P with the DVP-2-SA brick backing and an FBOOK-4 blower. Will the three of these work together? Also, is there a remote that will control the flame of the fireplace and the speed of the blower?
1 Answer
This particular fireplace is indeed compatible with the Empire Aged Brick Ceramic Liner, as well as the Empire FBB-4 Variable-Speed Fireplace Blower. Currently, the Deluxe series of Tahoe fireplaces do not feature a remote control that will both vary the flame height and blower speed. However, Empire does offer the Premium Tahoe with their all inclusive RF system which offers features such as these. You may view this model here. This model comes standard with the blower preinstalled, as well as a full functional remote control. The decorative liners are still an option, but can be seen here.

I have a dvd36fp30p that I want to switch to natural gas. Is there a kit or do I need to buy separate reg and orfice? Do you sell parts?
1 Answer
We do indeed carry the conversion kits needed to switch between fuels for this model. To ensure I recommend the correct product number, I will need to know the version number and serial number from the unit. The version number is the number at the end of the model number on the build plate. For example and -2 or -3. The serial number should be just below the model number on the same plate. Please advise at your convenience.

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.
