Empire

Empire Comfort Systems boasts a rich history stretching back to 1911 when it began as a small sheet metal shop in Belleville, Illinois, officially becoming the Empire Stove Company in 1932.  For over a century, this family-owned and operated business has evolved into a leading North American manufacturer of a diverse range of gas-fired heating solutions, including vented and vent-free fireplaces, log sets, and outdoor fire features.  Throughout its long history, Empire has demonstrated a commitment to innovation, notably pioneering the Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS) for vent-free heaters and achieving high-efficiency ratings in their vented fireplace offerings. With a strong emphasis on American manufacturing and utilizing North American suppliers whenever possible, Empire Comfort Systems has established itself as a reliable and enduring presence in the hearth industry.
