Energy efficiency is another hallmark of Empire’s vent-free heaters, as they utilize 99% of the gas consumed for heating. This high efficiency translates into lower energy bills for consumers. Furthermore, these heaters produce minimal emissions, making them an environmentally conscious choice for heating.

The VFSM and VFSV models are available in a range of stylish designs and finishes, allowing them to blend seamlessly with various home decors. Their compact sizes mean they can be installed in tight spaces or mounted on walls, optimizing room layouts without sacrificing heating performance.

Another notable characteristic is the option for remote control operation. This feature provides added convenience, allowing users to adjust settings from across the room. With their robust construction and user-friendly features, the VFSM-24-3, VFSV-24-3, VFSM-30-3, VFSV-16-3, and VFSM-18-3 models stand out as reliable solutions for efficient heating needs, ensuring comfort during the cold months while prioritizing safety and environmental considerations.
