Description

The Empire Loft Series 18" Vent-Free Burner delivers contemporary fireplace styling with powerful supplemental heating performance for modern living spaces. Designed with unconventional aesthetics and clean contemporary flair, this burner system transforms certified vent-free fireboxes or existing wood-burning fireplaces into a sleek focal point with impressive flame presentation. Built for propane applications, the VFIL18P model provides adjustable heat output ranging from 20,500 to 26,000 BTUs for comfortable zone heating.

Equipped with a variable electronic control valve and thermostat variable remote, this Loft Series burner offers convenient temperature management and simple operation. Its versatile installation compatibility allows use in any certified vent-free firebox or in existing wood-burning fireplaces with the damper closed. For decorative vented applications, the burner can also be installed with the flue damper blocked open when paired with an on/off switch or remote control as outlined in the owner’s manual.

The burner requires 1.75 square feet of media for the 18-inch configuration, allowing homeowners to customize the fireplace appearance to match contemporary interior designs. Combining flexible installation options, modern styling, and efficient heat performance, the Empire Loft Series Burner is ideal for upgrading both traditional and contemporary fireplace spaces.

Order Confirmation:

Upon placing your order, you will receive a confirmation email. We will then verify that all items are in stock and ready for shipment. If your order can be delivered within the advertised time frame, it will be processed and sent to the warehouse for shipment. If the delivery time exceeds the advertised time frame, we will contact you via email and/or phone to confirm the order.

Order Processing:

Orders are processed usually within 24 to 48 business hours after your payment is verified and approved. Your items will be shipped as quickly as possible. Please note that shipping times indicate the time it takes for your package to arrive after it has been shipped, not from the date you place the order. Processing and shipping times exclude weekends and holidays.

If your order is urgent, we recommend contacting us to confirm product availability. In rare cases, if an item is unavailable or on backorder for an extended period, we will notify you promptly. Receiving an order confirmation does not guarantee acceptance of your order. US Fireplace Shop reserves the right to accept or decline any order for any reason and may require additional verification before processing.

Order Shipment:

You will receive an email with a tracking number within one business day after your item has been shipped. If you haven't received tracking information within 7-10 business days of placing your order, please reach out to our customer service team.

Estimated Time of Arrival:

Our standard delivery time is 7-14 business days. For custom-made products, the delivery timeframe is typically 4-12 weeks. If the estimated delivery date for your order falls outside the expected 7-14 business day range, our customer service team will reach out to confirm whether it is acceptable.

Areas Covered & Shipping Costs:

All estimated delivery dates and shipping costs advertised on our website apply only to the contiguous United States (the Lower 48 states). We provide free shipping on orders over $299.01 in our online catalog with standard ground delivery to the contiguous United States (some exclusions may apply). Items marked as "Free Shipping" qualify for this offer, but expedited shipping is not available for free.

Orders below $299.00: $70.00 (Flat shipping fee)

Orders above $299.01: Free shipping

For shipping to Hawaii, Alaska, or U.S. territories, additional shipping charges will apply, even if the item is listed as "Free Shipping." After you place your order, we will contact you with the shipping costs and arrange payment for the extra charges. If you need shipping estimation, please contact our customer service team to discuss time and cost. We do not ship internationally, but we can deliver to a freight forwarder of your choice.

Please note that the default Shipping includes a curbside delivery (Delivered to your curb, typically next to the mailbox. You will be responsible for moving and assembling.)

Damages:

It's important to inspect the packaging of all items upon arrival and ensure all boxes listed on the delivery receipt are received. If you notice any damage or missing packages, make a note on the bill of lading, take pictures & videos, and refuse delivery. The note should state "refused due to damage."

If there is no visible damage before opening the box, note "subject to further inspection, may contain concealed damage." By signing a freight delivery without noting any issues, you accept the product as-is and release the seller from liability.

If you discover damage after receiving the delivery, keep the packaging intact and contact us with photos and videos of all sides of the packaged goods within 2 business days. We cannot process your claim if images & videos are not provided within this timeframe. Once we receive your information about the refused delivery or concealed damage, we will initiate a claim with the shipping company or manufacturer and ship replacements at no cost to you.
