Technological advances in the
past decades have created
alternatives to wood as the only
fuel option. Gas fireplaces are
a very popular choice,
especially since the industry
offers fireboxes and logs that
are not only very realistic but
more affordable and easy to
install.
If your home has an existing
masonry or metal fireplace,
there is an easy way to spark
new life into it with a ventfree
firebox. Vent free fireboxes are
the fastest grooving segment of
the fireplace marketplace. Their
ease of use and effortless
installation won the confidence
of buyers for many years to
come.
After
installing a vent free gas
fireplace, among many
compliments we usually hear
comments like: “I surprised how
easy and fast it is to
add a real fireplace to my
room”.
A ventless or vent free gas
firebox eliminates the needs of
a flue or a chimney thus
lowering the overall cost of the
installation. Installing a vent
free fireplace can cost about
half of their vented
counterparts. With vent-free
fireboxes you neither need to
install a chimney nor to cut
holes in the roof. All you need
is access to a gas line and you
will be ready to install your
gas fireplace at the favorite
part of your room.
Although millions of American
homeowners commonly use
vent-free gas fireplaces, there
is still some confusion in the
marketplace about these
products. Therefore, I would
like to bring up some common
misconceptions and clear the
misunderstandings regarding to
vent-free or vent-less
fireplaces.
First of all let me address the
biggest concern buyers have
against using vent-free
fireplaces. Emissions from
vent-free gas products cause
health problems….?
The answer is NO. There
have been many independent
studies on the effects of
vent-free gas product emissions.
These studies concluded that
vent-free gas heating products
performed well within all
nationally recognized guidelines
for indoor air
quality.
However, if you purchased your
vent free fireplace it must only
be used with adequate
ventilation, such as keeping
windows open when you are using
the fireplace.
Many of these unvented fireboxes
are equipped with oxygen
depletion sensors (ODS). These
sensors detect when oxygen
levels in a space are beginning
to decline, ensuring that a
ventless fireplace can not
consume all of the oxygen in a
room and suffocate the
occupants. If your ventless
firebox is not equipped with a
CO detector you can purchase it
separately and install it close
to your fireplace on the
ceiling.

Propane Gas tanks for
gas fireplaces . |
It cost
about $400 for the local gas
company like
Blue
Rhino to set a 100
gallon tank and run the line and
hook up the fireplace. After
installation of the firebox and
the gas tank an official from
the city has to inspect and pass
the work.
In summary, vent-free fireplaces
offer benefits like reduced
heating bills, remote control
ignition, increased value for
home buyers and economical
installation.
