Can a 15000 BTU wall heater be used in a small camper during hunting trips?

If the camper does not move and your insurance company/local building inspector approves it, you can use it. If it is on wheels, then you would not be able to use the heater.

I have an existing Empire vent free gas heater. The unit is about 20 years old and the pilot light is going out nearly daily. Is this something that can be easily fixed or because of the age of the unit should I just replace it?? Thank you.

That's something that generally can be fixed pretty easily. Your thermocouple is likely not recognizing the pilot flame. You will want to clean the thermocouple with a piece of emery cloth or high grit (1000) sandpaper. This should resolve the issue.

Can this heater be used in a garage?

Installation in a garage is possible provided it complies with you local laws.

currently have empire RH35 up vent natural gas room heater - need to replace it - live in high altitude - what are your recommendations

We still offer the RH35 heater, if you like that model. The only options I would not recommend are ventless systems as they will not function at elevations above 4500'.

I bought a vent free 18,000 BTU wall heater from home depot and after 3 weeks, I had grey blinds and grey/black walls. Why would there be any sooting? It's a natural gas, vent-free heater in a 4 season room!

Sooting can occur when there is incomplete combustion. You can try checking the gas pressure to the unit or if there is enough fresh air for combustion.

can you vent into a full size attic that is well vented?

No all vented units must be vented to the outside.

Which ventless heaters do you recommend for high altitude (above 7000 feet )

None of the Vent free products function properly above the 4000 Ft ASL line

Will the Empire RH 65LP operate at high altitude? My cabin is at 8700 ft.

Thanks for your patience. I've confirmed with the manufacturer that this furnace can indeed be used at your altitude. Because of the altitude, though, de-rating of the unit will be necessary. Empire does make a kit (part number P8644) that would properly derate the furnace for altitudes of 8,000 to 10,000 ft. Please remember that derating this unit for your altitude will decrease the BTU output by about 30%.

Are vent free propane heaters legal in my location; or, do all heaters have to be vented?

I am unaware of your state, Montana, having any ban on ventless hearth systems, but this does not mean that your municipality allows them. I recommend contacting your local code office to confirm that ventless systems are allowed prior to ordering.

I was looking at your DV210SG in wall natural gas heater; is this heater, which I believe is 10,000 BTU, enough for a 900 square ft room? Thank you.

If you have a standard 8' ceiling height, heating a 900 square ft space would require a BTU output of 31,500 and this heater would not nearly be powerful enough.

Does the Empire model DV25-2SG have a 7 1/2 inch diameter hole for venting?

The DV25SG does indeed have a 7 1/2" venting outlet.

Will the vent free Empire heater WRB 810271 function properly at 6200 ft.?

Unfortunately, vent free heaters will not function above 5,000 feet elevation.

I am looking for a ventless wall mount propane room heater, that works at 6200 feet.

Unfortunately, no vent free heaters are able to work at an altitude above 5000 feet.

I'm looking for a thermocouple for a Sun Star Corcho propane, unvented heater model # 4RI17TPUS CK18T-4-LP. Would you know where I can locate one?

Unfortunately, we do not have access to a proper thermocouple replacement for your heater.

Mark from West Virginia asked:

Can the empire RH50/RH65 be vented through a 6' length of vertical indoor pipe before exiting through a side wall?

The installation instructions do not specify a maximum/minimum horizontal length run. The vent would require a 1/4" rise per foot of horizontal run using B-Vent venting components.

Barbara M. from Galeton PA asked:

Do you have a sealed, vented heater that is around 10 to 15,000 BTUs?

Our best recommendation for a sealed, vented heater for your application is the Empire DV215SG direct vent wall furnace. This requires installation on an exterior wall and it is a 15,000 BTU heater.
