Frequently Asked Questions

  • The Empire Vail 24 is rated at 20,000 BTUs, which is enough to heat approximately 300–600 square feet, depending on the insulation and location of your home. It is best suited as a supplemental heat source for family rooms, dens, and halls. For natural gas models, the unit can turn down to as low as 7,000 BTUs for more precise temperature control.

  • No, the Vail 24 is a vent-free fireplace, meaning no chimney, flue, or external venting is required. This makes it easier to install and ideal for apartments, condominiums, or homes where venting is not possible. However, installation may be prohibited in some jurisdictions, so buyers should verify local building codes before purchasing.

  • The standard 20,000 BTU model is generally not approved for bedroom use, but Empire offers special 10,000 BTU versions in both Millivolt and Intermittent Pilot configurations specifically for bedroom installations, where allowed by local codes. Always check your local regulations before installing any vent-free appliance in a sleeping area.

  • The Vail 24 is available in two ignition systems: the Millivolt option, which is remote-ready and works with battery-operated thermostat remote controls or a simple wall switch, and the Intermittent Pilot option, which eliminates the standing pilot to save energy while still operating during a power outage via battery backup. Both versions include a built-in modulating hydraulic thermostat that automatically adjusts the flame to maintain a preset room temperature.

  • The Empire Vail 24 comes with a five-year limited parts warranty and a five-year limited labor warranty; remote controls carry a one-year limited warranty. The warranty applies to the original purchaser only and requires installation by a qualified gas appliance technician. No blower is included with the fireplace, but the Empire FBB6 Automatic Single-Speed Fireplace Blower is available as a compatible add-on purchase.
