Book a consultation and we will confirm venting and framing before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the BL56 need a vent kit?
Yes. A Napoleon-approved direct vent kit is required and sold separately. The right kit depends on whether you terminate through a wall or the roof.
What happens in a power outage?
The unit has a USB battery backup system. Napoleon does not include the power bank, so plan to supply one.
Can it be converted to propane?
Yes. The manual says the BL56 is field convertible with a certified conversion kit from an authorized dealer.

Warranty
