The Rushmore Series
Empire Heath 36" Rushmore Clean-Face Direct-Vent Fireplace DVCT36CBP95
The Rushmore family of fireplaces is a beautiful centerpiece for any home. Available in 36″, 40″ and 50″, what truly sets the Rushmore apart is its advanced TruFlame Technology. This technology delivers lifelike flames, reminiscent of a real wood-burning fireplace.
Its dual burner system creates a tall, vibrant flame, while a ceramic glass front ensures you get a clear view and efficient heat transfer. You can personalize the look by choosing from a variety of logs, liners, and fronts to suit any home.
A remote control for a fireplace lets you operate the unit conveniently from across the room, just like a television. Instead of walking up to the fireplace to adjust the flame or turn the unit on and off, a handheld remote allows you to control key functions with the push of a button. For many homeowners, this makes using a fireplace more comfortable and accessible—especially when you’re already relaxing on the couch.
Modern gas fireplaces, including many from Empire Hearth, often include multifunction remotes that do more than simply turn the fire on and off. They can allow you to adjust flame height, set timers, control lighting features, or regulate the blower that circulates warm air into the room. Some models even include thermostatic controls, meaning the fireplace can maintain a set temperature automatically.
A remote control adds a layer of convenience and precision to the fireplace experience. Instead of manually adjusting controls, you can fine-tune the heat and ambiance to match the moment—whether you want a low flame for atmosphere or more heat on a cold evening.
In short, a fireplace remote makes your hearth easier to use, more comfortable, and more versatile, turning your fireplace into a modern home comfort appliance rather than just a decorative feature.
Down lighting refers to small built-in lights located at the top of a fireplace that shine downward onto the logs, burner, and interior of the firebox. These lights illuminate the firebox even when the flame is low—or completely off—so the fireplace still acts as a visual centerpiece in the room.
In many Empire Hearth fireplaces, down lighting is designed to enhance the realism of the logs, ember beds, and decorative media. By casting light from above, it creates shadows and highlights that make the firebox appear deeper and more dimensional. This effect can make the fireplace look attractive even during warmer months when you might not want to run the flame.
Down lighting is also useful for creating ambient mood lighting in a living space. Instead of relying solely on overhead room lights, the softly lit firebox can provide a warm, subtle glow that enhances the atmosphere of a room.
For homeowners, this feature means the fireplace can function as both a heat source and a decorative lighting feature, adding value and year-round visual appeal to the installation.
