Does this system vent out the back or top?
1 Answer
This model has a dedicated top vent connection, however, you may still terminate the venting horizontally on an outside wall after connecting a 90 degree elbow to this top vent connection.

Is this Empire medium loft direct vent fireplace approved for California's building codes?
1 Answer
While there is generally no issue with direct vent units being installed in California, you will want to check with your local code authority to verify that it is approved before installation.

What is the "required barrier screen" on this model?
1 Answer
A national law was enacted that requires any direct vent gas fireplace or insert manufactured after January 1st, 2015 to have an accompanying safety barrier screen. This is for safety reasons as the tempered or ceramic glass can get quite hot when these units have been lit for an extended amount of time. For this particular model, the barrier screens are built into the required surround options as shown in the drop-down menu under the pricing information on this page. Basically, the barrier is a transparent mesh screen that is installed over the glass front of the fireplace.

Empire Medium Loft Fireplace
Purchased this model to replace an old Martin Insert that had gone bad. This was a remodel so I had only 17" inches of depth to work with it in my opening, which this unit met. Recommend professional help with install on carpentry and HVAC connections . I did this and things were relatively smooth. I converted from vent-free to vented so we had to remove vinyl siding and cut wall sheathing to install duct work for the unit.
About 14 hours carpentry and 8 hours HVAV labor which totaled $725 for both. I paid $1200 for semi-stacked stone and labor to finish my fireplace. My total costs were around $4700.00 when everything was completed. A big savings over a local fireplace store who had quoted me a price.
For the unit itself, it has a modern linear look and heats well with 23,000 BTU. I added the blower fan and upgraded remote with thermostat control. The blower sits on rubber feet and is the quietest I have heard in a fireplace insert install. You will need patience to read through the manual and instructions as they are thorough. Do not throw away the deflector during assembly as it comes taped inside the surround box.
We purchased the duct work package that is matched to the unit so we would have everything here for the carpenters and HVAC people. That plan worked well as my contractors were strong and wrestled the duct work down the wall and attached to unit.Overall we are blown away the value and quality of this unit.
If there is a downside the remote does not dial down. So if you want to lower the temperature on the remote,you have to run it up and start over to get the desired temperature for thermostat control. Also, the surround pieces can attract hand oils so you may want to use gloves during install unless you want to clean fingerprints. We recommend this unit if it fits your needs. The E-Fireplace rep Owen was extremely helpful and super knowledgeable.
