While gas fireplaces require an upfront investment, they are highly efficient and will help you save money on energy in the long term.
If you’re considering a new gas fireplace, one of the first decisions you’ll need to make is choosing between a direct vent fireplace and a ventless fireplace. Regardless of which you think is best for your home, the fireplace installers at Chimney.com are licensed to install both systems throughout the Northern Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC areas.
Traditional vented fireplaces are fueled by natural gas or propane, utilizing vent pipes or flue to operate safely. They are an exceptional alternative to a wood-burning fireplace, offering the beautiful aesthetics of a roaring fire. Many homeowners add a vented fireplace to complement their home’s interior rather than use it as a primary heat source. The heat from its logs escapes through the vents, requiring more time and gas to heat larger rooms.
The main vented fireplace we offer is the direct vent, which pulls air into a sealed firebox from outside your home. Cool air from inside your home is drawn into a separate chamber, warmed by the heat of the fire, and blown back into the room with a built-in fan. Fumes from the fire are vented through a flue or a vent pipe. A direct vent fireplace is the safest option for getting carbon monoxide out of your home.
According to the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors, ventless fireplaces have gained popularity due to burning at nearly 100% efficiency. They work by drawing air for combustion directly from your room and heating that air. Since they don’t require ventilation, the majority of the heat stays in your home. Unfortunately, they often look less realistic than vented solutions.
While ventless fireplaces don’t remove gasses from your home, they are designed to burn at a higher rate for a cleaner performance with fewer harmful emissions than other systems. Many modern systems are thoroughly inspected and tested to national standards. Some models also come with built-in oxygen depletion sensors to regulate the amount of oxygen present. When it gets too low, the fireplace automatically shuts off.
Ventless fireplace installations are quite straightforward, and you can place them throughout your home. However, they are banned in some cities and states. Call us to see if installing a ventless gas fireplace is possible in your area.
