Empire Innsbrook Fireplace Insert

No, this unit is designed to operate without electricity. It uses a millivolt ignition system, which means you can rely on it for heat even during a power outage.

Vent-free fireplaces are engineered for 99.9% efficiency, meaning they burn fuel so cleanly that they do not require a chimney or flue to vent exhaust outside. Because they consume oxygen from the room, you should ensure your home meets the manufacturer's specific square footage and ventilation requirements for safe operation.

Yes, this model features a variable-flame burner. You can easily adjust the flame height to control both the aesthetic look of the fire and the amount of heat output.

Yes, this unit comes with an integrated blower. It helps circulate the warm air more effectively throughout your room, rather than just heating the immediate area around the fireplace.

This is a zero-clearance unit, which offers significant flexibility in placement. It is designed to fit into existing masonry or factory-built wood-burning fireplaces, but you should always verify your specific fireplace dimensions against the unit's 27-inch width, 19-inch height, and 13-inch depth before purchasing.

This specific model (VFPC20IN33N) is configured for natural gas. Please ensure you have a natural gas line available at your installation site.
