Vent-Free Traditional Gas Fireplaces
With almost no architectural constraints, traditional vent-free fireplaces are quickly growing in popularity. These heat producers lead the way in efficiency at a rate of almost 99.9%. Theyuse the air in the room for combustion, delivering almost all of that energy and heat back into the living space. Vent-free fireplaces offer a variety of installation options as they don’t require bulky vent pipe or chimneys. These systems are especially ideal for smaller homes and multi-level living spaces where the installation of a vented fireplace is impossible. These units are generally available in natural gas and propane gas types.
Criticized in the past for being unsafe, recent technologies like Oxygen Depletion Sensors and advances in clean burn units have allowed these fireplaces to become 99.9% efficient. Although they produce a large amount of heat, these units do require an additional heat source or central air system for heat/air circulation throughout the home. One of the downsides of these types of fireplaces is that they are typically limited to 40,000 BTUs due to the large amount of heat they produce.
