Our take on the Empire Small Innsbrook - 20" Direct Vent Insert - DVC20IN31

The Empire Innsbrook DVC20IN31 is a 20-inch direct vent gas insert that converts an existing wood-burning fireplace into sealed, efficient gas heat. It is the smallest of the Innsbrook line, which also comes in medium and large. The sealed direct vent design draws outside air for combustion and vents exhaust outdoors, so it does not pull heated room air up the flue. Buyers choose it for realistic flames, heat that keeps working in a power outage with the millivolt option, and the ability to match liner, surround and front to the room. It suits smaller fireboxes and rooms where a full-size insert will not fit; larger spaces are better served by the medium or large Innsbrook.

About the Empire Small Innsbrook - 20" Direct Vent Insert - DVC20IN31

The Empire Small Innsbrook 20" Direct Vent Insert (DVC20IN31) is a gas fireplace insert for upgrading an existing wood-burning fireplace. It is the small size in the Innsbrook series, which also comes in medium and large. A Slope Glaze burner creates the flames, and the glass front helps circulate heat.

It uses a direct-vent system, which is sealed combustion that separates indoor air from exhaust gases. Ignition is millivolt or intermittent pilot, so it can run during a power outage. It works with a thermostat or remote, and it can serve as a primary heat source.

The insert is designed to fit most wood-burning fireplaces. Liners, surrounds, decorative fronts and ceramic fiber log sets are available to customize its look.

Questions and answers

Will it fit my existing fireplace?
It is built for an existing wood-burning fireplace with a firebox large enough for a 20-inch insert. Measure the opening, depth and hearth before buying, and have an installer confirm the fit and venting.
Does it work during a power outage?
With the millivolt ignition option it runs on a standing pilot and needs no household electricity, so it keeps heating when the power is out. The intermittent pilot version depends on power.
What is the difference between millivolt and intermittent pilot?
Millivolt uses a standing pilot and works without electricity. Intermittent pilot lights only when called for and needs a power source, but saves the gas a standing pilot burns.
What else do I need to complete the installation?
The insert needs a venting kit and typically a surround, liner and decorative front, which are sold separately. Confirm the required parts for your fireplace with the installer before ordering.
Is the small model enough to heat my room?
It suits smaller rooms and fireboxes. For larger spaces or open floor plans, the medium or large Innsbrook gives more heat and a bigger fire view.
Can I install it myself?
No. Gas inserts need proper venting, gas line connection and clearance checks, so a licensed installer should do the work.
