Description
The Empire Innsbrook 27" Vent-Free Small Gas Fireplace Insert with Blower transforms an existing fireplace into an efficient, attractive source of supplemental heat with the convenience of modern gas technology. Designed to fit fireplace openings measuring 14 5/8" high by 25 7/8" wide, this compact insert installs directly into an existing masonry or factory-built fireplace while also offering the flexibility to be installed as a vent-free fireplace in zero-clearance applications. Featuring vent-free technology with up to 99.9% efficiency, it delivers up to 20,000 BTUs of clean, dependable heat without requiring a chimney liner or venting system. The included hand-painted ceramic fiber log set, variable-flame burner, and banded brick liner create the authentic appearance of a traditional wood-burning fireplace.
Designed for comfort and convenience, the Innsbrook 27 is available with either a reliable millivolt ignition system or an energy-efficient intermittent pilot ignition. The variable-flame burner allows you to adjust the flame height to create the perfect ambiance, while the included blower circulates heated air throughout the room for improved heating performance. A fine mesh barrier screen comes standard for added safety, and the fireplace is compatible with optional remote controls and wall thermostats for effortless operation and temperature management.
Available for both natural gas and propane applications, the Empire Innsbrook 27" Vent-Free Small Gas Fireplace Insert combines flexible installation, premium craftsmanship, and efficient heating in one stylish package. Many compatible millivolt systems continue providing dependable warmth during winter power outages, making it a practical supplemental heating solution. Whether you're updating an existing fireplace or creating a new vent-free installation, the Innsbrook 27 delivers reliable performance, realistic flame presentation, and lasting comfort.
