I have purchased the Empire Vail fireplace and am awaiting it's arrival. I plan on building it into the wall and be about 15 inches off the floor with no hearth. I see it comes with a three-piece trim kit, but how do I finish to the bottom side with sheet rock? Is there a fourth trim piece for the bottom?
1 Answer
No matching bottom trim section is available for the black 3-sided frame included with the fireplace. There is a matching bottom trim section for the 3-sided hammered pewter frame.

What else do I need for this unit to make it more complete?
1 Answer
The unit is complete as it comes, but any of the optional products in the accessory tab on the item page can be used with this model. The ceramic liner is a popular item to give the unit a more realistic appearance. The blower is handy for circulating air to the far reaches of a larger room or for heating a room up quickly. A remote control or wall switch eases the use of the unit and prevents you from having to manually operate the fireplace from the control valve behind the bottom louvers.

from Boston asked:
November 24, 2013
Can I still use this for heating if there is a power outage?
1 Answer
Yes. This unit utilizes an ODS pilot system that has a standing flame. As such, it generates its own electricity and does not require outside voltage to operate.
