Can this be installed through the wall chimney direct?
1 Answer
It can go through a wall, yes. It would still need to go up to and past the roofline.

Do you sell the same unit with a blower installed? Is the rotary switch on the unit also a thermostat? How does the unit turn off when the temperature is met or does this unit run continuously?
1 Answer
The RH35 is not offered with a preinstalled blower, but a modulating thermostatic system like the product in question will have a rotary knob that may be adjusted to your comfort level. In this case, settings 1 through 7 correspond to approximately 50 through90 degrees F. This is the temperature at the bulb thermostat near the valve and not theroom temperature. Since this is not an exact temperature and the home dynamics will be vary for each installation, this knob should be adjusted based purely on your comfort level.

Is there a blower fan included? How does it work?
1 Answer
The unit does not offer a fan as standard, but the Empire DRB-1 Automatic Blower can be installed. The fan mounts in the side of the cabinet and circulates heat along the combustion chamber of the heater and back out into the room.

Will a 100 pound LP gas tank work with this unit?
1 Answer
A 100 pound tank will indeed be sufficient to fuel this unit. Properly regulated and vented, the tank should allow approximately 60 hours of continuous operation for this heater.

Can the Empire RH-25 or 35 heater function during a power outage? If I am using propane, what is the average amount needed to operate for a full winter season of 4 to 5 months in the Northeast U.S.?
1 Answer
This unit only requires electricity when the blower is used. If the blower is not installed, then electricity will never be needed. This unit is capable of producing 35,000 BTU of heat per hour. At this high heat setting, the unit will consume approximately 1.6 pounds of propane per hour. Total seasonal consumption would be solely dependent on personal comfort levels.

If venting horizontally through wall how long must the vertical run be to end the venting?
1 Answer
The vent piping must conform to the 10/3/2 rule for this appliance. As such, the piping must extend 3 feet beyond the eave of the roof line. It must also have a 10 foot circle around the pipe termination of no obstruction, such as trees or another portion of the roof. If there is an obstruction, the pipe must be raised until a 10 foot circle of clearance can be achieved. You must then add 2 additional feet before terminating the vent.

October 22, 2013
Can the thermostat be changed to an electric?
1 Answer
Unfortunately, no. Hydraulic thermostat controls are a system that are integral to the design of the gas valve. The entire valve would have to be swapped with a millivolt version, which would also warrant the conversion of several other components. I apologize that a separate thermostat cannot be used.

How do I light this?
1 Answer
Lighting this gas heater is simple due to its piezo ignitor, which allows you to light the pilot without a match. Please see page 9 of the owner's manual for the full lighting instructions.

Is there a way to adjust the pilot light flame?
1 Answer
To adjust the pilot flame length, there is a brass screw that must be turned using a flat head screwdriver. The brass screw can be located immediately to the side of the main control knob used to light the pilot.
Please keep in mind that the pilot flame must extend past the thermocouple 1/4". The thermocouple is positioned away from the pilot hood, so the flame will be longer overall.

Smart unit
Looks good in my 4 season room. Very efficient and keeps this room very cozy. Thermostat set at number 2 and holds temperature at 74 degrees. It’s been 20 degrees and the high teens here for several days.
Easy to operate, ordered optional fan with unit. Which help move warm air through out the room. No cold spots in this room!

Reliable and Effective Heater
We bought an RH35 last year to replace a much older one that was failing. And this year, we bought an RH25 for our back porch, again, replacing an ancient one. eFireplaceStore was great to work with and delivery was quick and easy; we are quite pleased.
Easy to install, works well, even without the optional fan.
Not really a 'con', but the sales price is pretty much the same as the regular price elsewhere. That said, eFireplace is a good company to use.

Great little heater but needs engineering
Great heater but needs a fiberglass heat shield in bottom to reflect heat up from base. That thing gets so hot you can't even touch it. Or a set of legs with bolt holes to get it off floor. The base needs a set of holes to secure it.

Hope It Lasts a Long Time
Currently, our home has a large family room that used to serve as the garage before we converted it into an additional room. The problem is that the home heating system is such that it is not possible to keep it heated properly. We decided (After consulting with empire) to purchase a new one to do the job. We are hoping that this new heater not only will be able to accomplish the job but also will be able to last as long as our previous heater did.
