Vented vs. Vent-Free Gas Fireplaces

The Pros & Cons of Ventless Gas Fireplacees

• Users do not have to worry about carbon monoxide poisoning as long as the venting system is clean without blockages. While using the vented gas fireplace, the harmful gas will be released through the stove pipe or chimney.
• If you appreciate a more realistic sight of fire with greater height, then consider getting the vented fireplace, stoves, log sets, or inserts.
• With the closed venting system, a direct vent appliance features a single pipe for air intake and another pipe for venting the resultant gas. Due to the closed venting system, users won’t have the problem of losing heat through the chimney. Thus, every heat generated from the vented gas fireplace will be used to warm up your apartment.
• For those who seek a great source of heat, consider the vented gas fireplace as your first choice.

• If you have limited space in your abode, you may encounter the problem of setting up the stove pipe as a vented appliance requires a chimney venting system.

• Users do not need a working chimney to use a ventless fireplace, inserts, log sets, or stove. Thus, it helps save not only space but money.
• Every heat produced by the fireplace will be released into your abode since the appliance features no chimney, which is a possible means of losing heat.
• Compared to the vented fireplace, the ventless model uses a lesser amount of gas. Yet, it releases more heat.

• When your ventless fireplace becomes faulty, there is a good chance of releasing harmful gas into your home. Thus, it is vital to have a carbon monoxide monitor installed in your apartment.
