Empire WMH Vail Gas Fireplace

No, this is a vent-free system. It is designed to operate without a chimney or flue, allowing it to convert nearly all fuel into heat for your room.

Zero-clearance certification means the fireplace can be installed directly against combustible materials like wood framing or drywall. This gives you much more flexibility when building custom mantels or built-in enclosures.

No, the base unit does not include a remote control or thermostat. These are available as optional upgrades if you prefer the convenience of adjusting the flame or temperature from across the room.

The fireplace is equipped with an integrated oxygen depletion sensor. This safety feature automatically shuts off the gas supply if it detects that oxygen levels in the room have dropped below a safe threshold.

Yes, while the unit comes with standard matte black louvers and a frame, you can customize the aesthetic by selecting from various optional liners and decorative doors to better match your interior design.

A blower is not included with the standard unit, but it is available as an optional accessory. Adding a blower can help distribute the 36,000 BTU of heat more effectively throughout your living space.
