Frequently Asked Questions

  • No, the Empire Vail 26 is a vent-free gas fireplace, meaning it requires no chimney or external venting. Since it requires no venting, installation is much easier — it can be placed against any wall that has access to a gas line. The only space requirement is that it must not be installed in a confined space of less than 50 cubic feet.

  • The Empire Vail 26 Deluxe is rated at 20,000 BTUs, which is enough heat to keep a family room cozy and warm, and can heat an average of approximately 600 square feet. A special 10,000 BTU model is also available (in Millivolt and Intermittent Pilot configurations) for bedroom installations where allowed by local codes. As a vent-free appliance, it operates at 99.9% efficiency, meaning virtually all of the heat produced goes directly into the room.

  • The all-in-one package includes the vent-free gas firebox, an assembled Oak mantel (in Cherry or White finish), the Flint Hill log set with a 20,000 BTU Contour burner, a matte black hood, outer frame, louvers, glowing embers, and a user's manual. The package system installs in as little as 30 minutes, significantly minimizing labor costs. The total mantel footprint is just over 19 by 48 inches, making it well-suited for tight spaces and small rooms.

  • A remote control is not included as standard with the Empire Vail 26 Deluxe — the unit comes with a Millivolt ignition system, which uses a control knob to light the pilot and a switch to turn it on or off. However, optional control upgrades are available, including a wall thermostat, an on/off handheld remote, and a thermostatic remote control. The system is compatible with any millivolt remote control and receiver combination.

  • The Empire Vail 26 Deluxe comes with a tiered warranty: the combustion chamber and heat exchanger carry a Limited Lifetime Parts Warranty with a Five-Year Limited Labor Warranty, all other components are covered by a Limited 5-Year Parts and Labor Warranty, and remote controls, thermostats, accessories, and parts carry a Limited 1-Year Parts Warranty. To make a warranty claim, you'll need your receipt, model number, serial number, and type of gas, and should contact your installing dealer who will coordinate with Empire Comfort Systems. Note that shipping expenses for warranty service are not covered.
