Direct-Vent systems mount on an outside wall and have a vent-within-a-vent system to draw in outdoor air to support combustion and exhaust flue products to the outdoors.  The vent cap installs on the outside wall of the home. Because they do not draw your already-heated room air to support combustion, Direct-Vent systems are among the most efficient of the vented heaters. A Direct-Vent system may be installed as your home’s primary heating system.

The DVE55E (55,000 Btu) is perfect for Heating large family rooms, offices, apartments or even entire homes.

More Efficient Heating

Zone heating – using a gas-fired system in the room where you need the heat – is the most cost-effective way to improve the energy efficiency of a home undergoing remodeling or weatherization upgrades.

Almost any gas system can heat your home for a fraction of the cost of electric heat, but advanced technology drives these clean-burning wall furnaces to more than 80% efficiency (AFUE).

Empire’s High-Efficient Direct-Vent Wall Furnaces are available in sizes to fit most home applications. The 20,000 Btu DV-20E is ideal for maintaining a comfortable temperature in a basement or small family room. Empire offers the only high-efficient systems to exceed 40,000 Btu. The 40,000 Btu DV-40E and 55,000 Btu DV-55E are perfect for heating large family rooms, offices, apartments, or even entire homes – up to 2,000 square feet. All three models come in LP or Natural Gas. 

Quiet, efficient blowers (350 cfm for the DV-20E and DV-40E, 400 cfm for the DV-55E) help circulate the warm air throughout the room. These features deliver greater energy savings for a quicker return on your heating investment than with any conventional system.

Attractive Styling

The Empire High-Efficient DV-20E (20,000 Btu) furnace attractive styling gives any room a contemporary look. Space-efficient and easy to use, the unique design makes them cool to the touch, meeting or exceeding all American National Standards Institute temperature tests. The top-mounted control compartment allows you to simply flip the switch to "on" and turn to your desired temperature range. Empire offers the only high efficient wall furnaces that can operate with optional thermostats – a traditional 24-Volt model and a wireless remote wall model – to provide set-it-and-forget-it heating control.

Power-Venting Delivers More Efficient Heat

Inside the High-Efficient Direct-Vent Wall Furnace, a state-of-the-art power-vent inducer draws outdoor air into the combustion chamber at the optimal rate to support clean combustion. The hot combustion gases are forced through the inside of the unique tubular heat exchanger toward the exhaust. Outside the heat exchanger, a dual-fan air circulation system blows room air across the tubing to extract the maximum available heat. This counter flow action starts at the top of the unit and exits at floor level so that the warm air will rise naturally in your living space to provide the greatest comfort. Because room air always stays separated from combustion air, you enjoy cleaner, healthier heat, without creating negative pressure within the home that can draw in cold air.

Green Heating with Gas

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, heating with any gas appliance generates far less particulate pollution than heating with any other common fuel. The worst polluter, a wood fireplace, generates 28 pounds of particulates (measuring 2.5 microns or more) for every million Btu of fuel you put in. Heating with gas generates a tiny fraction of that (just 0.0083 pound) for every million Btu input. Compared to an EPA certified wood stove, gas heat still generates less than 1 percent of the particulate pollution. And gas produces less than 2 percent of the pollution emitted by a pellet stove.

Built-In Safety

We build safety into every Empire High-Efficient Wall Furnace. All three models feature state-of the-art electronics that monitor furnace operation and provide continuous self-diagnostics. An automatic shut-off valve cuts off the gas in the event of a power outage. Once power is restored, your High-Efficient Wall Furnace will automatically restart.

Simplified Diagnosis and Maintenance

If your High-Efficient Wall Furnace does require service, a green LED light in the control compartment flashes a code that tells the service person the nature of the problem, so repairs can be handled quickly.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does our product work during a power outage?

    Yes, most of our appliances have the ability to be used in a power outage situation please see a local dealer for more information.

    What is the difference between, Millivolt and electronic ignition heaters?

    Millivolt fireplaces use the electricity produced by a standing pilot to operate the fireplace. Electronic ignition fireplaces rely on a power source to power the fireplace, this can be house voltage as well as battery voltage.

    Can I use a Wi-Fi Thermostat with my unit?

    Our units are designed to be operated by millivolts or low voltage, most Wi-Fi thermostats use 24volts and are not compatible.

    Where can I find my model and serial number?

    There is a rating plate attached to the valve of your appliance that will have the model and serial number information.

    Can you tell me how old my unit is?

    Once you locate your rating plate the serial number will help identify the age, the first two digits of the serial number denote the year of manufacture (21, 20, 19...) the next two digits identify the week of that year that the unit was built.
