Vent Free Gas Fireplace FAQ's, Help, and Tutorials
We carry White Mountain Hearth and Monessen Vent-Free Gas Fireplaces
Vent Free gas fireplaces are for those who have no existing fireplace, want a gas fireplace, and want the gas fireplace to be clean burning and vent free. Vent free gas fireplaces vent directly into the room in which they are installed but, because they are clean burning, the exhaust consists of carbon dioxide (not the poisonous carbon monoxide) and water vapor. The water vapor can potentially condense on cold objects (like cold windows) if on long enough.
Because these units do vent into the room and use air from the room to burn, it is recommended that you use these appliances for only three to five hours at a time.
All vent free products are mostly for show, but will produce heat which can heat a smaller room. This is because the flame must be small and controlled to be clean burning, limiting how much heat a vent free unit will produce for a room.
