Just in time for the fall heating season, Empire Comfort Systems has introduced a luxury clean-face contemporary insert that’s perfect for the cool temperatures ahead. These heater-rated direct-vent systems—available in 30,000- and 35,000-Btu models—feature a unique burner that accepts decorative glass or other fireplace media. The porcelain liner comes in black or white and reflects the fire (to add to the illusion of depth). The insert’s large ceramic-glass viewing window directs your gaze to the fire, making this insert the focal point of the room. The window measures 400 square inches on the 30,000-Btu model and 584 square inches on the 35,000-Btu model. The surround conceals the valve and controls. These inserts accept a variety of decorative fronts in black, hammered pewter, and stainless steel.
