    August 17, 2021
    If I have exactly 32 inches across the front will the Empire 31 Innsbrook insert fit?
    1 Answer
    Yes. The minimum fireplace opening required for installation of this insert is 30-1/2" wide, 22-3/8" high and 15" deep. At the 15" depth, your fireplace must still have 19" of width available.

    Do I need the black surround with this fireplace? Can I install this fireplace without the black surround?

    1 Answer
    While this product is also tested and listed as a zero clearance fireplace, it's primary installation method is into an existing fireplace as a fireplace insert. Because of this, the surround is required as the product would not appear finished without this installed.

    Empire Medium Innsbrook Vent Free Fireplace Insert/Fireplace with Blower - IPI Ignition
    Installation was fairly simple and it worked just fine. Because it was August here in Texas with 96 degrees, we have not run it other than to test it out. I was impressed on how easy it was to install and setup with very little effort. It fit perfectly in place of our old wood fireplace, and I see no problem with the unit, it tested out just fine, and it should heat just fine come cold weather.
    It was easily installed, had good insulation instructions,operated prefect right out of the box, and it seams to be easy to operate. None at this time
