The Empire DV40E 37" Direct Vent High Efficiency Wall Furnace with Electronic Ignition delivers powerful, energy-efficient heating in a sleek, space-saving design. With a 40,000 BTU input, 32,600 BTU output, and over 80% AFUE efficiency, this gas wall furnace provides dependable warmth while helping reduce energy consumption and heating costs. Available in natural gas and propane models, the Empire DV40E features a sealed combustion chamber that draws combustion air from outdoors, helping maintain indoor air quality. Its contemporary beige finish, rounded corners, and discreet exterior vent termination complement a variety of interiors, making it an excellent heating solution for homes, apartments, cabins, and compatible manufactured homes.
Engineered for maximum comfort and convenience, the Empire DV40E High Efficiency Direct Vent Wall Furnace features a built-in electronic thermistor thermostat for precise temperature regulation and consistent heating performance. It also supports compatible 24-volt wall thermostats, including separately purchased programmable models, for greater control over indoor comfort. The integrated 350 CFM tangential blower efficiently distributes warm air throughout the room, while the filtered air system promotes effective airflow. Advanced hot surface electronic ignition delivers quiet, reliable starts without a continuously burning pilot, helping conserve fuel. Additional safety features include automatic main burner shutoff and an over-temperature safety limit switch, providing dependable protection during operation.
Designed for convenient installation and long-lasting performance, the Empire DV40E 40,000 BTU Gas Wall Furnace accommodates standard direct vent installations through exterior walls up to 10 inches thick. The optional DVT-2 vent accessory kit supports wall thicknesses up to 32 inches, while compatible extended horizontal and vertical venting accessories allow vent runs up to 15 feet, subject to manufacturer installation requirements. Featuring a 1/2-inch NPT gas connection, a 37-inch cabinet design, and a shipping weight of approximately 135 pounds, this furnace combines installation flexibility with efficient heating technology. With its high-efficiency sealed combustion system, built-in thermostat, electronic ignition, and powerful blower, the Empire DV40E offers a reliable and economical solution for residential gas heating.
More Efficient Heating
Heat the rooms you use with an Empire High-Efficiency Direct-Vent Wall Furnace. With more than 80% AFUE efficiency, these gas furnaces offer an effective alternative to electric heat during remodels, weatherization upgrades, or everyday home heating.

Models for Different Spaces
Choose from the 20,000 Btu DV-20E, 40,000 Btu DV-40E, or 55,000 Btu DV-55E. Depending on the model and application, they can heat spaces ranging from small rooms to homes up to 2,000 square feet. All models are available for natural gas or propane.
Quiet blowers circulate warm air throughout the room, with 350 CFM on the DV-20E and DV-40E and 400 CFM on the DV-55E.
Convenient, Reliable Operation
A power-vent inducer supports clean combustion, while a tubular heat exchanger and dual-fan system transfer heat into the room. Room air stays separate from combustion air. Top-mounted controls make temperature adjustments simple, and optional 24-volt or wireless thermostats provide added convenience.
Built-in electronic diagnostics monitor furnace operation. An automatic gas shutoff activates during a power outage, and the furnace is designed to restart when power returns. A flashing green LED helps a qualified technician identify service needs.
