OVERVIEW

A Vent-Free system uses room air for combustion and delivers 99.9% of the available heat energy directly to the room. Vent-Free systems have an unmatched safety record, thanks in part to their clean-burning technology and their Oxygen Depletion Sensor, which instantly shuts of the valve if oxygen in the room drops to and unsafe level. Because no venting is required, Vent-Free systems offer more installation options.

Vent-Free systems are limited to 40,000 Btu and must be operated as supplemental heating sources in conjunction with a central furnace that circulates air.

ADVANTAGES

  • Unmatched efficiency – 99.9%
  • Offers the most installation versatility
  • Usually less expensive to buy and to install
  • Can operate with a remote or thermostat
  • Most systems can provide live-saving heat during a winter power outage

Designed for eye-level, in-wall installation, our contemporary fireplaces feature modern technology, artfully applied.


LOFT VENT-FREE INSERTS (VFLC)

Empire comfort systems offers the Loft Vent-Free Inserts in two sizes (20,000 BTUs and 28,000 BTUs) so you are sure to find one to fit your existing wood-burning fireplace.

A 10,000 BTUs model is available for bedroom applications – where allowed by codes.

The Loft Series Vent-Free Insert features a contemporary linear burner in a sleek, black firebox that reflects the flames to create depth and visual interest. A fine barrier mesh screen comes standard with each Loft Vent-Free Insert.

The Loft Insert lights at the flick of a switch to produce consistent, reliable heat, even when electric power fails. Add the convenience of an optional thermostat, wireless wall thermostat, remote control, or thermostat remote control, and enjoy all the comfort of a warm fire without the mess and hassle.
