    Jacob
    from Jefferson City, MO asked:
    September 20, 2023
    Does it pop and crack when it kicks on and off?
    1 Answer
    Any wall furnace or fireplace has the potential to pop and ping as it heats up and cools down. This is due to the expansion and contraction of the metals in the burn chamber. If you are having violent "booms" during start-ups, this could be caused by delayed ignition of the gas. This is fairly common with propane, more so than natural gas.

    Why is there no remote thermostat option on this model?
    1 Answer
    This model has a built-in hydraulic thermostat; there is no remote thermostat option available because the controls are integrated on to the heater itself.

    Mark
    from Chapel Hill, NC asked:
    September 14, 2014
    Is the Empire RH50CB closed front gas room heater completely sealed from the room atmosphere?
    1 Answer
    This unit is only partially sealed. Warm air is pulled from around the sealed combustion chamber and circulated into the room. However, the unit requires room air for combustion and as such, the combustion chamber does have air intake ports. Only direct vent room heaters are completely sealed and have no effect on the indoor air supply.

    Fan Did Not Run
    Simple heater. The design is identical to the 50 year old unit I am replacing. The fan does not work, and a replacement fan may be shipped 2 weeks after I first notified Efireplace! I should have rated this experience a "2". But of course I don't yet have the fan and installed it and tested it so by the time this is over my rating could drop to a "1". In the meantime my tenant continues to receive money for their inconvenience, loss of apartment heat and their added costs using the space heaters I provided them.
    Friendly people.

    great store
    This is the place to buy a heating stove. I put it in myself and saved $2000.00. The box it came in did not even have a mark on it. We are very happy with this stove, they price mached it no problem. If you need a stove this is the place tp buy from.

    Awkward design regarding pilot light
    Looks good, works good but there were sheet metal screws loose and others holding the gas valve that were missing.Directions are Poor. They directions indicate that the connection is 3/8 NPT threads but it is actually 1/2 NPT threads.The entire Pilot light design is awkward to use, because you have to hold the valve down at the bottom in the back of the stove,while pushing the lighter at the top and you can not see the actual flame to confirm if the pilot is lit. I'mpossible to light with a match as the directions indicate.
    price was good. recommend buying after the heating season is over to get the best price. see above

    Product received was as described online
    We are very pleased with the new empire room heater. It is replacing a previous empire heater that is now 16 years old. The old heater has performed wonderfully all these years and that is the reason we decided on another empire room heater.

    Good product, good experience.
    Delivered on time and undamaged. Hooked it up, turned it on, functioned as expected. The manual does state that the oil will burn off on first use. It sure does, you may need to open the windows.
    Heats my slab on grade, poorly insulated, 1200 sf brick house in Wisconsin well. None known at this time.

    Very Elegant Appearance
    I was looking to replace thirty year old heater and settled on this product. My tenants have seen it and they are very thrilled with its appearance.

    Keeps Home Warm
    My house was built in 1884, and what is quite remarkable is that this unit is able to keep it warm, and do the job in an extremely effective manner. The only detraction to speak of with regards to this device is that it doesn't necessarily heat in a manner that I prefer. We build a stainless steel cage to surround it and prevent our pets from touching it.

    Easy to Operate
    I decided to purchase this product for a three bedroom apartment. It arrived very quickly and has provided use with excellent service.

    Very Sleek Look
    This unit is more than capable of keeping an apartment heated. I was looking for a unit that had a much higher heating capacity than the previous unit possessed and settled on this one.

    Heats Entire Office
    This unit is extremely easy to install! It took around a half hour to do so, and it is able to easily heat my office (which is approximately 1200 square feet.)

    Empire Is Quality
    I should say at the outset that I have had many very positive experiences with empire products. I am quite pleased to report that this item is definitely no exception. I have installed it in a large apartment, and every time it has been fired up to keep the facility at a comfortable temperature, it has managed to do so with the greatest of ease. I chose this item because the apartment itself has an unusual layout that makes it impossible to install a standard unit. Thankfully, this has managed to do a good job and my tenant is quite happy with the results.
