I'm just starting the process of choosing a NG fireplace and Heat n Glow is one I'm considering. The BTUs and features such as remote seem to differentiate thefts. Also how realistic the flames are. They get pricey! I'm also looking at Astria (Formerly Lennox) and Valor Vantana.

Both make good fireplaces. With gas fireplaces the rubber meets the road at your satisfaction with the burn of the units. Find a place where you can look at the burn on each unit and decide from there.

We are in the same boat, adding an addition and will be installing a new fireplace. Have looked at a Lennox model, Ambience Model and a heat n Glo. Hard to find a good place around us to see several different brands side by side. So far I like the Heat n Glo 6000CLX series. I am kind of surprised by the price of these units, we had a $2,000 allowance in the bid for the fireplace.

I am wondering the same thing. I see the original post was 9 years ago ... any update on the difference between Heat n Glo vs Empire (other than big difference in price)?

did anyone ever get an answrr here?
