The Empire Innsbrook Natural Gas Fireplace Insert is a direct vent fireplace insert designed to convert an existing wood-burning fireplace into an efficient gas heating appliance. The sealed combustion system draws combustion air from outdoors while venting exhaust outside, helping separate indoor air from the combustion process. This design supports dependable heating while maintaining indoor comfort.
This Empire Innsbrook Direct Vent model features a clean face design, millivolt control, natural gas operation, and a variable flame height burner paired with hand-painted ceramic fiber logs for a traditional fireplace appearance. With a maximum input of 20,500 BTU and a minimum input of 14,500 BTU, it is classified as a zone heating appliance that can serve as a primary heat source when appropriate. The included blower helps circulate warm air throughout the room, while ceramic glass and a barrier screen complete the installation package. The millivolt ignition system can continue providing heat during electrical power outages. A required surround and optional decorative accessories allow the fireplace insert to be customized to suit a variety of installation preferences.
