Empire Vail Premium Vent-Free Natural Gas Fireplace with Remote Ready Controls and Blower - 32 Inch

We got some quotes to put in a fireplace and it was way out of our budget. Being a DIY kinda guy, this was the option I settled on. The booklet is pretty clear regarding placement and requirements and I talked with some local contractors to be sure. I framed up the fireplace and hired someone to run the gas line. Being vent-free, I don't have to hack any holes through an outside wall. If you don't get a blower, then technically you don't have to run any power either, but running it was easy with an outlet being right next to where we were putting it. Now all I need to do is have a mantle put on and put some ledge stone on the front and we'll be ready for winter! Happy with the appearance and heat output and glad that we'll have heat in case of a power outage.

Good price for a quality unit. Easy install and set up. I see no advantage to the higher priced units that are comparable.

I am a builder and have been looking for a quality supplier for gas fireplaces with reasonably priced products. I have found one now!

No problems with delivery or installation, realistic, and a pleasure on a cold northern morning

This fireplace insert has met all my expectations. it works flawlessly and is a great addition to my living room.

Very nice Fire Place, easy to install.

This unit appears well constructed. I am currently installing it. I will add further comments after complete installation.

Nice looking , heats up quickly, just smells like gas

Great fireplace for the price but does not allow for a remote so there is a little extra work involved

We've had our Empire Vent-free fireplace approximately 2 months now and it has done exactly what we needed it to do. We bought it as back-up heat for our basement in case the power ever went out and we were gone. So far, that has not happened, but we just got back from vacation and set it on low as back-up for our furnace. While we were gone, temps dropped to -18 below zero and 14 inches of snow was on the ground when we arrived home. Our home was toasty warm upstairs and downstairs. Kudos to our Empire fireplace.

We ordered our fireplace on a Thursday and it was delivered the following Tuesday. The delivery man was very helpful in assisting us with it. When it was unpacked, we were more than pleased at the appearance of the fireplace. When it was all together and hooked up, we turned it on and it was just like being in a cabin in the woods with a real fireplace - so cozy. We are very pleased with the quality and the service from this seller. I would definitely recommend it my friends.

Nice fireplace. Good value. Comes with blower.

This unit is doing a great job for the space we installed it in. The room is 20 x 30 and heats up nicely. The flames are nice looking and the fire is quiet.The fan included does not blow as well as others I have seen and is also a little noisy, but I've seen other units that the blowers are much more noisy than this unit. Installed the unit ourselves without any issues. The directions could be written a little better.

Very easy to install.

Very nice unit! Completely satisfied. Keeps our basement very warm.

Well made unit. Installation is straight forward. Could use some better instructions for the burner unit regarding remote control options. Looks great when finished with optional trim kits.
