My gas service is bottled propane only. Will this require any modification?
1 Answer
If you are using LP gas, it would be best to order that unit in LP from the start. Other than that no modifications would be needed for LP.

from York asked:
January 21, 2020
The height on the main product description page for this unit is listed at 34 and 3/4 inches tall (DVP36FP91). The manual shows the height as 37 and 5/8 inches. Can you verify the height of this unit?
1 Answer
The framing height (total height including standoffs) is 37 5/8", which results in a framing height requirement of 37 3/4". The height of the fireplace itself (minus the standoffs/flue collar) is 34 3/4". We apologize for the confusion.

The remote starts the fireplace, but the flame is blue and only lasts 20 seconds and then goes out and can't be restarted for 1/2 hour. Not sure what the problem is.
1 Answer
Many times this can be caused by a blockage in the burner orifice. We recommend checking this orifice.

October 20, 2019
What are the differences between the Empire Deluxe, Premium, and Luxury models? Please be as specific as possible. Physical size, BTU input, efficiency, ignition type, thermostat type, etc.
1 Answer
In general, the Empire Tahoe models scale as follows: Deluxe (lowest BTU, least efficiency, smallest overall size, tempered glass front), Premium (higher BTU, better efficiency, larger overall size, tempered glass front), Luxury (highest BTU, best efficiency, largest overall size, ceramic glass front). You can see specifics in the Tahoe catalog, seen here: Empire Tahoe Direct Vent Fireplace Series. These are the louvered models. Each of these types also offers a clean face version, which are lower-efficiency options with otherwise similar distinctions. You can see those here: Empire Tahoe Premium Clean Face Models. Empire Tahoe Luxury Clean Face Models. Any of these units are available with a millivolt/standing pilot ignition or an electronic/intermittent pilot ignition. Each also offers an optional thermostat - as a hand-held or wall-mount.

Matt
from Athens, OH asked:
March 6, 2017
How is the blower powered if electricity is not required?
1 Answer
On millivolt gas units, electricity is not required for the unit to burn or produce heat. The blower runs on a 110V standard grounded plug. If you had a loss of power, the fireplace would still light and produce heat, however the blower would not run.

February 17, 2015
In the intermittent mode, does the pilot come on and off when a certain temperature is reached? Is the module box suppose to have the switch on intermittent and the remote switch on, or is the remote switch suppose to be off?
1 Answer
When in intermittent mode, the pilot assembly will not ignite unless the unit is calling for heat. The pilot will light and stabilize, then allowing the main burner to ignite. The pilot will extinguish with the main burner assembly. The remote switch should be in the "Remote" position on the main control module in order for the system to be controlled by the included multi-function remote.

Empire Tahoe Premium Fireplace
This fireplace insert turned out to be a good choice. The application for our customers needs was pretty spot on. It shipped to our company on a pallet which meant for a secure delivery. Its construction was a quality build. The only draw back that we found, was the instructions. The manual is very general for many styles, which made for a more cumbersome set up and programming. However overall we were very pleased with our
experience.

After receiving the peninsula fireplace, I was highly impressed with the looks and quality. I can't wait to use it for the first time in our new home where it will be featured and viewed from our great room.

Very happy with the product
This item has been a pleasant surprise. I was worried about the remote control functioning properly, but it is functioning over my expectations. I really like the thermostat function in the remote that will turn the unit on when the temperature in the room drops below the set temperature. I did some price shopping before I purchased the unit and this unit provided a lot of value for the money I spent.
ProsRemote control
ConsFan could be a bit quieter on the higher speeds, maybe an option for more $$.

Hi, looks like an awesome fireplace but unfortunately we have to return as it is way too large for the room we plan on putting it in but will look at your other stoves.
