Bset ventless fireplaces

Answer 1

Ventless fireplaces require less maintenance than real ones, and they also are usually electric or based on a gel-like fuel. Top brands such as "Real Flame" or "Vermont Castings" have a good reputation for quality products.

Answer 2

A cheerful fire in the fireplace on chilly evenings or cold winter nights is a welcome addition to any home. Not everyone wants to carry wood, scrape or shovel ashes or soot, or have a lot of clean up, however. Also, many people with breathing problems cannot tolerate smoke from wood fires. In those cases, a ventless gas fireplace is the perfect solution.

Either liquid propane or natural gas is the fuel used in vent free gas fireplaces, with natural gas being the most popular, as it usually generates more heat than propane. In a traditional wood fireplace, over 80% of the heat escapes through the chimney. Since the ventless gas fireplace does not require a chimney, it operates very efficiently and inexpensively. Without a chimney to lose heat, all of the heated air is circulated back into the home, increasing the comfort level and reducing the use of the home’s main heating fuel, or electric heat.

The BTU’s--British Thermal Unit--or output of the gas log, determines the amount of fuel it will use. Dealers who offer gas fireplaces, and all gas providers, are able to give information on usage and gas prices for a specific area and will have an idea of the operation costs for a normal household during the heating season. The newest technology for the ventless gas fireplace assures that it is not only efficient, but safe, and easy to clean. It is an excellent source of back-up heating, as most models will run even if the home’s main electricity is off, such as in a storm.

Ease of installation is another advantage of the ventless gas fireplace since no chimney is needed. It takes up much less space than a regular fireplace and can be installed almost anywhere there is an outside wall. Oxygen depletion sensors are included in most models, the gas burns clean and provides instant warmth. With the ambience of a wood burning fireplace, but with no ash or smoke residue to clean, coupled with the ease of installation, operation and efficiency, a ventless gas fireplace is an excellent choice for an added source of home heating, and will provide comfort and enjoyment for many years to come.
