Benefits of using a Vent Free Fireplace

As you know by now, a Vent Free Gas Fireplace is a system that doesn’t need venting to operate. For this reason, they are made to burn clean and allow the combustion by-product to flow into the room the fireplace is in. There are strict guidelines in place to make sure there is adequate space and oxygen in the room for the combustion process. Whether it is gas or wood, any kind of combustion requires oxygen to create the vivid orange/yellow color of a beautiful fire. Therefore, no fires are truly “vent-free”, because if it was; it would extinguish itself. This is the reason why it’s important to check the size of a room to see if there is enough oxygen for the fire and for your lungs. A highly effective sensor comes with the fireplace. This device will turn off the gas to a Vent Free Fireplace if the level of oxygen in the room starts to deplete. This is one of the many safety precautions taken to ensure the security of these fireplaces.
