Empire Comfort Systems Vail Vent Free

No, this is a vent-free system. It is designed to operate safely without a chimney or flue, which makes it much easier to install in rooms where traditional venting isn't an option.

The fireplace comes with a millivolt ignition system, which is compatible with optional wall switches, remote controls, or thermostats. Please note that these control accessories are sold separately.

The mantel is included. This unit arrives as an all-in-one package, fully assembled with the mantel, frame, and louvers, so it is ready to place in your home right out of the box.

The unit measures 30 inches wide, 41 inches high, and 30.25 inches deep. Its compact footprint is specifically designed for smaller living spaces or tight corners where a full-sized fireplace wouldn't fit.

No, a blower is not included with this specific model. While it provides 20,000 BTUs of supplemental heat, you will rely on natural convection to circulate the warmth throughout the room.

Yes, this model is designed to work with both fuel types. However, you must ensure you purchase the correct version for your specific fuel source, as the burner system is configured for one or the other.
