An Empire Gas Direct Vent Fireplace is a highly efficient, sealed-combustion appliance designed to vent exhaust gases directly outdoors while drawing fresh air from outside for combustion. This sealed system ensures safe indoor air quality and offers flexible installation options—either horizontally through a wall or vertically through the roof—making it a popular choice for new builds and remodels. Empire direct vent fireplaces deliver consistent, efficient heat with minimal heat loss and come in a variety of styles to suit any home décor.
While a fireplace blower isn’t required for your fireplace to function, it can significantly increase heat output and energy efficiency. A blower circulates warm air from the fire into your living space, rather than letting it rise and escape through the chimney or remain trapped inside the fireplace unit. If you're using your fireplace as a primary or supplemental heat source, adding a blower is a smart and cost-effective upgrade. At HVACDirect.com, we offer fireplace blower kits compatible with top brands to help you get the most out of your gas or wood-burning fireplace.
Empire offers both standing pilot and electronic (intermittent) ignition systems. Standing pilot ignitions are simple, reliable, and usually less expensive upfront but consume gas continuously, increasing fuel costs. Electronic ignition systems save gas by igniting the pilot only when the fireplace is in use, making them more energy-efficient and cost-effective—especially for propane users—though they typically have a higher initial cost. At HVACDirect.com, we provide a full range of Empire fireplaces with expert advice to help you select the best ignition system for your needs.
Yes, you can install a TV above most Empire Gas Fireplaces, but it’s important to follow the manufacturer’s clearance guidelines for safe installation. Always check the owner’s and installation manuals for the minimum distance between the fireplace and your TV to avoid heat damage. Consider using mantels or heat deflectors to protect your electronics, and ensure your wall can support both the heat load and TV weight. Direct vent models typically emit less heat above the unit, making them more TV-friendly.
Yes, most Empire Gas Direct Vent Fireplaces are compatible with a variety of remote control options. Depending on your model, you can choose from basic on/off remotes, thermostatic remotes that maintain a set room temperature, or advanced programmable remotes with timer functions. Some models also offer wall-mounted switches or smart home–compatible controls for added convenience. Always refer to your fireplace’s user manual or consult an authorized dealer to ensure the correct remote is selected for your unit.
