  • Yes, the Napoleon HD81 is available in both natural gas and liquid propane configurations, and a conversion kit (model B81) is available if you need to switch fuel types after purchase. The maximum heat output is 60,000 BTUs with natural gas and 50,000 BTUs with liquid propane. You should select your fuel type at the time of order and consult a licensed installer for the conversion if needed.

Electrical and wearable components such as blowers, gas valves, igniters, and remote controls are covered for free parts replacement during the first year. Labor for warranty repairs is also covered free of charge during the first year, provided the unit was purchased through an authorized Napoleon dealer and installed by a licensed technician.
