    Dan
    from Buffalo, NY asked:
    January 28, 2022

    What room size does it heat? Does it have a built-in thermostat that will cycle the unit on and off or will that require a separate remote thermostat? Can a blower be added?

    1 Answer
    This heater would heat about 1,000 square feet, but that number can vary based on several factors of home construction. A separate thermostat is required but blowers are not compatible with most vent-free models. This model does not have a blower option.

    Does this product have a glass front or doors?
    1 Answer
    No, this vent-free gas fireplace, as with any such traditional-style unit, does not offer glass doors because air must be able to circulate in the firebox at all times. This fireplace has a fixed screen front.

    A Great Addition to Our Home
    We recently purchased a ventless propane fireplace for our new sunroom so that we could enjoy it all year round. The Empire 26 was a great choice and looks great on the raised platform; we prepared to feature it as the focal point of the room. The only disappointments are that it was not equipped with a remote and the flame control level shows little difference from low to high, making the flame pretty much the same all the time. All in all, we are very happy with our purchase, the ease of the transaction, the speedy well-packaged shipping to the door, and the quality of the product.

    Perfect addition!
    We bought this as a gift for my son's family. It was installed earlier this week and already in use. They love the fireplace. Not only is it beautiful but it is very functional. I am sure they will love it for many years to come. It arrived within a few days after it was ordered. We are 100% pleased with the whole process.

    Heats Like Crazy
    After researching vent free gas fireplaces for a couple of months I chose this one. I wanted white and one that was not too big or too small and this is just the right size. I have a small 50 ish cottage and by the end of the day the low setting is heating the whole house. The electricity went out for about a hour and it sure was nice to have heat! I had professionals install it so I can't comment on that issue.
    Beautiful, simple design and a nice size. It looks like a quality product that beongs in the house. Would like the flame to be a bit higher sometimes but it really doesn't distract from pleasure.
