The new compact fireplace insert from Empire Comfort Systems converts a narrow or short conventional fireplace into an efficient, vent-free zone-heating system. Based on the proven technology of Empire’s midsize Innsbrook vent-free insert, the new smaller version fits fireplace openings as small as 26.5 inches wide by 18.5 inches tall by just 12.75 inches deep. At 20,000 Btu, this small system generates enough heat to warm a 30x30-foot living space. The insert includes a handpainted log set, a banded-brick liner, and an automatic variable-speed blower. Three accessory surrounds—one cast-iron and two steel styles—help conceal the fireplace opening. An assortment of replacement louvers, available in four styles and four finishes, helps match the insert to the home’s decor. All Innsbrook fireplace inserts will operate without electricity to provide heat during power failures. Contact: www.empirecomfort.com or jcleveland@empirecomfort.com.
