Can a direct vent fireplace be vented through the ceiling/roof that is about 22 feet above the fireplace? Are there certain fireplaces that are better at this than others?
Yes, almost all direct vent fireplaces can also be vented through the roof line. Even models with only a rear vented flue collar can typically be turned vertically to vent through the roof.

Ryan U.from Vass, nc asked:
Hello, I am looking for a 48-inch direct vent fireplace that can vent through the back wall instead of the roof, with cast refractory (ceramic refractory concrete) logs. Can you help me find options?
For a 48-inch direct vent fireplace that vents through the back wall, the Empire Tahoe Premium 48 supports both top and rear venting. We carry it as the Empire DVP48FP31 Tahoe Premium Direct Vent Fireplace (millivolt ignition, automatic blower included) and the Empire Tahoe Premium Direct Vent Gas Fireplace with Intermittent Pilot - 48 Inch. Both are currently in stock. Please note that the DVP48FP31 listing describes its four-piece log set as ceramic fiber, and we cannot confirm cast refractory logs on any of our 48-inch direct vent models. You can also browse our indoor direct vent fireplaces. If you would like a quote, reply with your fuel type (natural gas or propane), any accessories you want, and your shipping zip code, and we will prepare a free quote that includes the venting components.

What is a direct-vent fireplace?
Direct vent fireplaces are a type of vented gas fireplace that does not use air from inside the home to operate. They feature a firebox sealed with tempered or ceramic glass and use a dual-purpose vent that both vents exhaust to and pulls combustion air from the outdoors. They can be vented both horizontally and vertically.

What are the minimum distance to keep from the top of the direct vent fireplace (36" w x 37" h) and bottom of a 70" wall-mounted TV? The fireplace box will be flush with the floor.
This will depend on the fireplace's stated minimum clearances in your installation manual. However, most fireplaces do not list a specific clearance to a television.

Lonniefrom Austin asked:
How difficult is it to switch a wood burning to a direct vent?
If you have a masonry woodburning fireplace, you can install a direct vent insert inside the fireplace opening and use a vent kit (usually consisting of two 3" liners) to run up through the existing (and functional) chimney. If you have a manufactured woodburning fireplace that is too small for an insert, you would need to remove the unit and replace the chimney pipe. So, the degree of difficulty varies depending on your application.

Chrisfrom Dover NH asked:
How do I determine how many BTUs I should look for when buying a fireplace?
When looking for a gas-fired unit, be sure to look for the "BTU" rating. A BTU (British Thermal Unit) is a measure of heat energy, and as a general rule of thumb, 35,000 BTUs will provide sufficient heating for about 1,000 square feet. By no means is this an absolute measurement, as windows, doors, ceiling height, and other factors come into play, but it is a good starting point.
Should I turn off the pilot light each time I use the fireplace?
If your fireplace is electronic ignition, the pilot will automatically turn off when the main burner turns off. If you have a standing pilot, it's okay to leave the pilot on while fireplace is not in use.

Do I have to buy a barrier screen?
Commencing on January 1, 2015, new legislation went into effect that requires all glass fronted hearth appliances that exceed a 172 degree glass surface temperature to have a safety barrier screen as a standard feature. Many manufacturers redesigned their appliances ahead of this date to include a barrier screen as standard, while others made the screen a required add on. To stay in compliance while still giving our customers a choice, we do not require the purchase of a separate barrier screen in cases where the manufacturer does not make it a standard feature. However, the screen will always be presented as a purchase option and is highly recommended. An example of a unit with the screen listed as a configuration option is the Empire Tahoe Deluxe. As you will see, the screen is listed under the first configuration step for this unit. It is important to note that almost all hearth appliances allow removal of the screen after purchase, if the customer so desires.

Can I do a basement install with a direct vent LP gas log fireplace?
Yes, a direct vent fireplace can indeed be installed in a basement. If you are horizontally terminating the venting system, the horizontal termination cap will need to be at least 12" above grade (perhaps more per your local code or the manufacturer). We have snorkel termination caps available to help achieve this clearance, if needed for your application. Please let us know if there is a specific model that you have questions about and we can provide more specific information.
