A vent-free gas fireplace costs less, fits a wall half as deep and puts nearly all its heat in the room. It is also banned outright in California, Minnesota and New York City homes, and restricted everywhere else. Here is how direct vent and vent-free compare, using Empire's Boulevard built both ways, and where vent-free isn't allowed. Every product figure below comes from the specifications on our own product pages.
A millivolt fireplace keeps a small pilot flame lit and makes its own power from it, so it runs with the electricity off. An electronic ignition fireplace lights its pilot only when you turn it on, so it burns less gas between fires, but it needs house power and backup batteries. Every figure below comes from the manufacturers' manuals or published government sources.
A see-through fireplace shows one fire in two rooms. A 3-sided model adds glass on an end, as either a peninsula or a bay. In the Empire Tahoe, Empire Vail and Majestic lines, the two shapes share the same firebox and cost the same or less. Every figure below comes from the specifications on our own product pages.
