Can you turn the flame level up and down of this Empire gas fireplace? Is there a remote included?
1 Answer
The control valve does have a variable regulator that will adjust the flame height, although the location of the regulator means that removal of the fascia is necessary to make such an adjustment. A remote is not standard, but optional remotes will work with this model.

What are the measurement restrictions from the ceiling? Can this unit be set into regular drywall?
1 Answer
There must be a minimum of 26 inches of space between the top of the fireplace opening and the ceiling. The fireplace can indeed be recessed into a wooden enclosure with drywall facing, as long as the framing dimensions are met.

September 25, 2012
Is there a maximum height the fireplace can be installed from the floor?
1 Answer
There is not. As long as the specified distance of 26" is maintained to the ceiling, the unit can be installed at any height on the interior wall. My only recommendation would be to place the unit at a height where it will still be easily serviceable.

I would recommend this item to a friend.
Provides warmth and style to finished basement
We opted for this ventless fireplace when remodeling our basement - instead of adding other heat source and it was the perfect solution. It adds wonderful ambience while heating the whole room very fast.

I would recommend this item to a friend.
Easy to install, works great; needs some attention to detail.
I liked this model for its overall design and its price point. Customer service was helpful in ensuring I was ordering the right options, etc. My contractor was a bit stymied by the less-than-clear electrical drawings but he got it installed and it is up and running in about 1.5 hours total including doing some rough carpentry in the space it was installed in to. My only criticism of the unit itself is that the surround should be constructed to a higher spec with fewer tolerances on the joints/joins/bends.
ProsLooks and works great. Puts out quite a bit of heat! We are happy.
ConsSee my concerns regarding the surround's construction.
