Log Set Specifications:
Empire Comfort systems Log Sets use three types of materials in their Log Sets. Refractory, Burncrete and Ceramic Fibers.
Refractory Concrete Logs are made of a more dense and durable material than ceramic fibers and will typically last longer with the proper set up. Please see below for videos and downloads.
Burncrete Logs are made of the traditional refractory concrete used in most Log Sets but are hand painted to give a more realistic looking log. They stack the same as your refractory concrete logs. Please see below for videos and downloads.
Ceramic Fiber Log Sets are a light weight, realistic alternative to refractory concrete logs, and will begin to glow after the fire has been burning for about 15 minutes, giving the illusion of real logs burning in your fireplace. Please see below for videos and downloads.
Burners:
Manual Ignition - A White Mountain Hearth manual ignition gas burner requires you to turn a knob to start the flow of gas and has three settings, High, Medium and Low. There are two options to light the fireplace, either a pilot light or the use a matchstick will light the ignitor on the burner. With proper installation, a manual ignition burner will last longer as they typically have less components than a Millivolt or Electric Ignition or IPI
Millivolt Ignition - The White Mountain Hearth Millivolt Ignition pilot can be turned on by a wall switch or a remote. The Millivolt system has a pilot light that stays on 24/7 like the Manual Ignition Systems and will use between 400 to 600 BTUs in a 24 hour period when not in use. The benefit are the Millivolt can be turned on manually if there is a power outage.
Intermittent Pilot (IP), Electric Ignition or IPI - The White Mountain Hearth Intermittent Pilot Ignition (IP) system is a fully electrical unit. The Pilot Light is electrically controlled by either a Wall Mounted Thermostat or a Thermostatic Remote Control. With ease and functionality, this is the most versatile option. These options do come equipped or an optional battery back up, in case there is a power outage. With all the advancements in the IP units, they typically need the most maintenance.
Note: All Maintenance should be conducted by a certified technician.
