Empire Comfort Systems gas fireplaces, inserts, vent-free fireboxes, gas log sets and gas stoves, built in Belleville, Illinois. Shop the Tahoe, Rushmore, Innsbrook and White Mountain Hearth lines from an authorized Empire dealer.
Empire has built gas heating products in the United States since 1932 and is one of the few hearth manufacturers that still makes most of its line domestically. Its direct vent fireplaces (Tahoe, Rushmore, Boulevard) are known for strong flame presentation, straightforward installation and dependable millivolt or electronic ignition. Empire also builds the Innsbrook direct vent insert line, a wide range of vent-free fireboxes and log sets, and the White Mountain Hearth gas log collections for both vented and vent-free use.
Parts availability and simple controls make Empire products easy to service for decades. Most models can be ordered for natural gas or propane and with a choice of liners, fronts, blowers and remotes. Call (540) 212-9374 for help choosing a model and planning the vent run.
