About Empire Comfort Systems
Empire Comfort Systems is a Belleville, Illinois-based manufacturer of gas heating products, including gas log sets, fireplaces, wall heaters, and furnaces. Empire has been in business since 1932 and is known for producing reliable, mid-range gas appliances for residential and light commercial use.
Empire's gas log line includes traditional ceramic log sets in vented and vent-free configurations, as well as the Loft series — a linear burner system designed for contemporary fireplaces with a wide, shallow firebox. The Loft uses a flat, rectangular burner with reflective glass media rather than traditional log media.
OGF installs Empire log sets and Loft burners in qualifying fireplaces throughout Northeast Ohio. Our technicians are familiar with Empire's millivolt and IPI control systems.
