The Empire Loft Fireplace Insert provides a vent free propane heating option designed for installation inside an existing fireplace. With a 28,000 BTU maximum input and 23,000 BTU minimum input, the Loft Series uses a contemporary linear burner to create a defined flame presentation within a sleek black firebox with a reflective liner. The design helps add visual depth while the included fine mesh barrier screen provides a protective barrier in front of the burner area.
This Empire Loft 30" Propane Gas Vent Free Fireplace Insert uses intermittent pilot ignition and includes an on/off switch for convenient operation. Its vent free configuration allows the unit to be installed without a traditional vent system, while the supplied specifications identify zero clearance installation. The insert can also operate with compatible remote or thermostat control options, which are sold separately. With 99.9% stated efficiency and the ability to operate when electric power fails, this insert provides a practical heating solution for applicable installations.
