Empire Comfort Systems Black Adjustable Fireplace Hood Adjust from 28" to 48"

We have a wood stove insert in our fireplace with a 60" tv suspended above and no mantle. The hood extends the length of the stove faceplate. We just loosened 2 bolts on the faceplate and slid the hood's mounting plate behind, tightened the two bolts and it fits securely in place, greatly reducing the heat on the tv. No muss...no fuss...no drilling, although it came with mounting bolts. We just didn't need them. Great product and a small price to pay to protect our tv.

Loved that this slid easily to fit our fireplace opening and matched the color too. We were able to fit it over our surround so it was super easy to install. We had spent a significant amount of money on a gas insert that was bubbling the paint on our wood mantel despite the mantel being well above the insert. The vendor refused to help and had no suggestions to fix the problem so we could use our fireplace. I saw one of these shields at a hotel and was happy to find one here. The price seems very reasonable for the benefit and it came very quickly. We are now able to enjoy our fireplace insert without damage to the mantel.

Until intstalling my fireplace mantle was far too hot and the wood surround was cracking. With the hood installation, the heat is dispersed and absorbed by the hood., so the het is no longer a problem.

I purchased this hoping it would re-direct heat coming from vents above my fireplace. It does just that. It wasn’t a normal install for my type of fireplace, but we made it work. This device keeps heat from rising into an electrical outlet which allows me to use my fireplace! I first thought this was expensive, but when it arrived I quickly changed my attitude because it is very sturdy and can adjust to a longer size if needed without changing the quality.

I was pleasantly surprised that i could hook the hood directly over my fireplace shield which already fits into the existing studs on my wall. Which means, no drilling, no screws, easy installation! the shield holds up the heat very well, because about 2 inches above the hood is where my soundbar is mounted. After running the fireplace for about 30 minutes, i could feel the hood was very hot, but the bottom of the soundbar remained a comfortable warm. Very happy with the surprisingly custom setup, so giving this product a perfect review.

For $89.95 I would EXPECT this would be finished on both sides..... I ordered this one (the more expensive of two choices) thinking it would be better quality. On the right side panel, there's a spot that appears to be rubbed off and the black paint spray isn't even completely covering the area in that side. Aside from the rust and the rubbed off part, it seems well made. Just really not happy that it came in with rust on it. It appeared to be new but now I'm not sure.

Worked perfectly. Super easy to install. Just drilled some small holes in metal and used the smaller screws that came with it. It’s adjustable so it fit perfectly. Great purchase to complete my fireplace project.

Not much to say about this. It's fairly heavy-gauge metal with two different mounting options. I already had a steel frame that I could screw this to, so it only took me a few minutes to drill four holes for the black sheet metal screws that come with it. There's a slightly more complex method for mounting it directly to a masonry surface, if you need to. In either case, it's not going to be a big project. One reason I purchased this particular unit was that it has a center section and two sliding sections that allow you to adjust it so it is symmetrical. My gas log guy only had hoods with a single sliding section, so they looked sort of lopsided. Of course, the whole reason I had to get this was that the gas log manufacturer requires at least a 4" hood (in the case of my fireplace and mantel) to deflect the heat. The city inspector (required here) had no problem with this hood or the method of installation. My local gas company would have charged me $150 to put in a similar hood.
