Empire Innsbrook Fireplace Insert

No, this is a vent-free unit. It is designed to operate without a chimney, which makes it much easier to install in existing masonry or factory-built fireplaces.

The Millivolt system uses a standing pilot light that stays on constantly, allowing you to operate the fireplace even during a power outage. The Intermittent Pilot system uses an electronic spark to ignite the pilot only when you turn the unit on, which saves fuel but requires electricity.

Yes, because it is a zero-clearance unit, it can be installed into a custom-built enclosure or mantel, provided you follow the specific clearance requirements outlined in the installation manual.

Yes, a blower is included. It helps circulate the warm air generated by the 28,000 BTU output throughout the room more effectively than natural convection alone.

This unit is CSA certified and meets ANSI Z21.11.2 safety standards, which include an oxygen depletion sensor that automatically shuts off the gas if oxygen levels drop below a safe threshold. It also includes a barrier screen to prevent accidental contact with the hot glass.

Yes, the Empire Innsbrook is compatible with both fuel types. However, you must specify which fuel you intend to use at the time of purchase, as the unit is factory-configured for one or the other.
