Frequently Asked Questions

  • No, the Empire Vail 32 Premium is a vent-free fireplace, meaning absolutely no chimney or flue is required. Its hem-bent seam construction also eliminates dozens of screws and fasteners, resulting in a lighter, more rigid box that is easier to install. However, the manufacturer does require that it not be installed in a confined space less than 50 cubic feet.

  • The Empire Vail 32 Premium delivers up to 32,000 BTUs at 99.9% efficiency, with a minimum output of 22,000 BTUs. It is rated at 32,000 BTU — enough heat to keep a family room cozy and warm. Because it is vent-free, virtually all of that heat stays in the room rather than being lost through a flue.

  • The Empire Vail 32 has a firebox opening of 33¾" H × 35½" W and requires a framing cavity of 33¼" H × 35½" W × 16¼" D. The unit itself weighs approximately 96 lbs., so plan accordingly when preparing the installation cavity.

  • Yes, the fireplace is safe for indoor use when installed and operated per manufacturer guidelines and local building codes. It includes an integrated Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS) that monitors indoor air quality and automatically shuts the unit off if oxygen levels drop too low. Note that some states and municipalities — such as California — prohibit vent-free appliances altogether, so buyers should verify local regulations before purchasing.

  • Empire Comfort Systems backs the Vail 32 Premium with a 5-year limited warranty. Specifically, any part that fails due to defective workmanship or materials within three years from the date of purchase will be repaired or replaced at Empire's option, while remote controls, thermostats, lighting systems, accessories, and replacement parts are covered for one year. The warranty applies to the original purchaser only and is not transferable, and all warranty repairs must be completed by a qualified gas appliance technician.
