Description
The Empire Tahoe Clean Face Premium 36" Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas Fireplace offers a perfect combination of efficient heating, timeless design, and realistic flame presentation. Built for use as a primary or supplemental heat source, this direct vent fireplace produces up to 24,000 BTUs while delivering efficiency ratings between 60 and 80 percent. Its sealed combustion system separates room air from combustion air, providing clean, safe, and energy-efficient performance for lasting comfort.
The Premium Clean Face Traditional Tahoe features a large tempered glass viewing window that creates an unobstructed view of the fire without the appearance of traditional louvers. A specially designed burner produces rich, natural flame patterns that beautifully complement Empire's required ceramic fiber log set, sold separately. Each log is individually hand painted with realistic bark textures, knots, and charred details, creating the authentic look and warmth of a traditional wood-burning fireplace.
Designed for zero-clearance installation, the Tahoe Clean Face Premium installs seamlessly into finished walls for a clean built-in appearance that suits both classic and contemporary interiors. Available with either Millivolt or Intermittent Pilot ignition, the fireplace also supports optional remote or thermostat controls for convenient operation. Many configurations can continue providing dependable heat during winter power outages. Combining elegant clean-face styling, impressive heating performance, realistic flames, and Empire's renowned craftsmanship, the Tahoe Clean Face Premium 36" Direct Vent Gas Fireplace is a beautiful centerpiece for any home.
