Direct Vent Fireplaces
What are they and how do they work?
By Carrie Gregory
What are direct vent fireplaces?
Direct vent fireplaces are modern home heating appliances. They are the most desirable of all available gas fireplace technologies because they provide warmth and comfort without introducing safety risks or compromising indoor air quality.
How do direct vent fireplaces work?
Direct vent fireplaces use outside air for combustion and then vent the exhaust fumes back outside. As a result, they are high efficiency and allow for a safer and cleaner burn.
Benefits of a Direct Vent Fireplace
- Cost Savings: Direct vent fireplaces help you save on heating costs because they use propane as a fuel source, which is more cost effective than traditional wood-burning fireplaces. Direct-vent fireplaces are highly efficient, reducing energy waste and lowering your utility bills.
- Consistent Performance: The sealed combustion system provides consistent heat out, keeping your home warm and cozy without the need to constantly adjust the thermostat.
- Better Indoor Air Quality: Prevents harmful gases like carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide from entering your home. Ideal for homes with asthma and allergy sufferers and small children or elderly adults.
- Safety Features: Direct vent fireplaces are built with safety in mind. The glass front gets very hot but an integrated safety screen protects kids and pets from accidental burns.
- Installation: The installation process is relatively simple. While venting is required, these fireplaces can be installed in various locations without the need for a traditional masonry fireplace. Direct vent fireplaces are quickly becoming the fireplace for contractors and homeowners alike.
