Empire Vail See-Through Fireplace

No, this is a vent-free unit. It is designed to operate without a chimney or flue, which gives you significant flexibility in where you can install it within your home.

While this unit produces a robust 38,000 BTUs, it is intended to serve as a supplemental heating source rather than a primary furnace. It is highly efficient at warming the immediate area, but it should not be relied upon as the sole heat source for your entire home.

This unit features glass on both sides, allowing you to view the flames from two different rooms simultaneously. It is an excellent choice for creating a seamless, open-concept feel between spaces like a living room and a dining area.

No, the log set is not included with this unit. You will need to purchase a compatible log set separately to complete the installation and achieve the desired aesthetic.

The millivolt system uses a standing pilot light, which means you can operate the fireplace with a wall switch, remote control, or thermostat without needing a constant electrical connection. It is designed for consistent, reliable performance even during power outages.

Safety is a priority for vent-free units. This fireplace includes an oxygen depletion sensor (ODS) that automatically shuts off the gas supply if it detects that oxygen levels in the room have dropped below a safe threshold.
