Empire Comfort Systems Tahoe Direct-Vent Fireplace

The clean-face design removes the traditional metal louvers found on many fireplaces, allowing you to finish the wall right up to the fireplace opening with materials like tile, stone, or brick. This creates a seamless, built-in look that makes the fireplace appear as if it were part of the wall itself.

Yes, this unit is specifically engineered for tighter spaces. Its compact venting requirements and 17.75-inch depth make it an excellent choice for installations where wall-cavity space is at a premium.

With an 18,000 BTU heat output, this unit is designed primarily for supplemental zone heating rather than as a whole-home heating solution. It is perfect for warming up a living room, den, or bedroom efficiently.

The interior liners are optional and sold separately, allowing you to customize the look of your fireplace interior to match your home's decor. You can choose from various styles to complement the hand-painted ceramic fiber log set.

The Tahoe Deluxe is available in both Natural Gas and Propane versions. You must select the correct fuel type at the time of purchase, as the unit is factory-configured for one or the other.

The unit uses a contour tube-style burner designed to mimic the movement of a real wood fire. Combined with the hand-painted ceramic fiber logs, it produces a natural, dancing flame effect rather than a static or artificial-looking burn.
