Designed for use as a primary or supplemental heat source, this zero-clearance fireplace delivers up to 20,000 BTUs while maintaining efficiency ratings between 60 and 80 percent. Its direct vent system separates combustion air from indoor air, providing safe, clean, and dependable heating performance for a variety of living spaces.
The Tahoe Clean Face Deluxe features Empire's Contour tube-style burner paired with a hand-painted ceramic fiber log set to create natural dancing flames and the authentic appearance of a traditional wood-burning fireplace. A large heat-resistant tempered glass viewing window offers an unobstructed view of the fire while efficiently transferring radiant heat into the room. The clean-face design incorporates a discreet air distribution channel that eliminates the appearance of traditional louvers while still allowing the optional blower to operate for enhanced heat circulation.
Designed specifically for in-wall installation, the Tahoe Clean Face Deluxe allows tile or other non-combustible finishing materials to conceal the fireplace edges, creating a seamless built-in appearance. Available with Millivolt or Intermittent Pilot ignition, the fireplace also supports optional remote or thermostat operation for added convenience. Many configurations can continue providing dependable heat during winter power outages.
