The Pacific Energy FP16 LE is a zero-clearance wood-burning fireplace designed for homeowners who want the look of a built-in fireplace with the heating performance of a dedicated wood appliance. Pacific Energy positions it for small-to-medium rooms, making it a strong fit for compact homes, cottages, additions, and renovation projects where a traditional open fireplace would provide more atmosphere than useful heat.

Its 1.6-cubic-foot firebox accepts logs up to 17 inches, with 16-inch firewood recommended for easier everyday loading. The FP16 LE uses east-west loading and provides a generous 173-square-inch viewing area, which is one of its strongest design features for a fireplace in this size class. Pacific Energy’s air wash system helps keep that glass cleaner during normal operation, while boost air assists with cold starts and reloads.

Underneath the clean fireplace exterior is Pacific Energy’s catalytic-free combustion system with Extended Burn Technology (EBT). The unit uses a floating steel firebox, 304 stainless-steel baffle and combustion components, a multi-port secondary-air system, integrated heat exchanger, and single-lever air control. Two 40 CFM temperature-actuated blowers are standard, helping move heat from the built-in fireplace cavity into the room where it can actually be used.

The FP16 LE also offers metallic-black or stainless-steel surround trim, allowing the fireplace to work in either more traditional or contemporary interiors. For customers who want a true built-in fireplace rather than a freestanding stove or insert, but who do not need the larger capacity of the FP25 or FP30, the FP16 LE is the logical starting point in Pacific Energy’s zero-clearance wood fireplace lineup
