Direct Vent Gas Fireplace

Warm Up With A Direct Vent Gas Fireplace

Feel the heat with a direct vent gas fireplace! You will be pleasantly surprised of how easy it is to install one and it won’t break the bank in the process. All you need to install this type of fireplace is to drill a hole in your wall so that the unit can draw air in and send gasses out. It is a safe way to heat your home because combustion does not depend in any way on the air inside your home.

Direct vent fireplaces are energy efficient also because there is little, if any, heat lost in the process and there are no drafts to contend with. Manufacturers claim that these fireplaces operate at a 90% efficiency level and are able to generate as much heat as some furnaces. This is wonderful news if you want everyone visiting or living in your home to be “warm and fuzzy” at all times.

One great feature of a direct vent fireplace is that it doesn’t require a chimney to operate. This means that you can have one in your home, even if you don’t have a standard masonry or wood burning fireplace requiring a chimney. The direct vent fireplace has an enclosed chamber, usually with a glass front that helps heat be expelled and circulated throughout the room. With this type of heating unit, you won’t have to be concerned at all about toxic or combustible materials going out into your home to “poison” you or your loved ones. The unit doesn’t take any oxygen or heated air back out of the room - it leaves it there for you and your loved ones to use and enjoy!

Another fantastic feature of a direct vent gas fireplace is that it is a practical addition to your home. It not only provides you and your family with continual warmth, it is an attractive addition to any room. Simple installing it makes your home more inviting because there is always the welcoming glow of a “real” fire. It is small enough to not overpower the room, yet it fits in nicely with your other furnishings. And, you will be able to position your furniture around it because its sides are safe for combustibles. What a super way to make your home more inviting and pleasant for everyone, including yourself!
