Frequently Asked Questions
Empire Rushmore vs Boulevard — what is the difference?
Rushmore is vent-free (no chimney needed); Boulevard is direct-vent (requires through-wall or roof vent). Rushmore is easier to install but restricted in some jurisdictions; Boulevard is safer for tightly-built homes and approved everywhere.
Is the Empire Rushmore safe for tight-build homes?
Vent-free fireplaces release combustion byproducts (water vapor, small amounts of CO2 and CO) into the room. In tightly-built modern homes, this can cause humidity issues. Direct-vent (Boulevard) is the safer choice for new construction.
