Gas Fireplace Venting: What’s the Difference Between Vented & Vent-Free Gas Appliances?

Vent-free vs. vented: what’s the difference?

• Vented gas fireplace appliances rely on a venting system (like the traditional chimney) to pull in combustion air and pump out any byproducts, like carbon monoxide. 
• Vent-free gas fireplace appliances are designed to be 99.9% efficient and don’t require a venting system in order to safely function. 

Are ventless gas fireplaces safe?

Vent-free options typically produce more heat than their vented counterparts and can be an excellent source of heat and light in the event of a power outage. That said, because of this, ventless fireplaces have strict limitations on how long you can safely use the appliance. For most models, this will be somewhere between three to five hours.

The reason for this regulation is to protect your family and home from prolonged exposure to the toxins and other harmful byproducts created during combustion. Because these units do not vent their exhaust through any kind of piping or direct connection to the outdoors, they recycle both the air used for combustion and the spent, heated air (exhaust) back into the room. 

And while gas is considered a clean-burning fuel and ventless appliances are indeed safe, it’s always important to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines that accompany your product.

What Are the Benefits of Gas Fireplace Appliances?

You’ve likely noticed that more and more homeowners across the country are trading in their old and drafty wood-burning fireplaces for sleek and modern gas-fueled hearth products. Why the switch? Because fueling with gas has quite a few advantages. Here are some of the most notable:

• With gas, you have fuel going directly to your fireplace, stove, insert, or gas log set, so you don’t have to worry about buying, stacking, storing, or bringing in fuel for the fire.
• Too tired to wait for the fire to die down and clean up? Go to bed, there’s nothing to clean up anyway and you can simply turn the fire off with the touch of a button!
• Need to take off the chill and unwind before moving on to the next thing on your schedule? Turn the fire on with the touch of a button and when it’s time to get going, turn it off just as easily.
• Worried about emissions? Don’t be. Gas is a clean-burning fuel that doesn’t release loads of particles and smoke into the air.
• Modern gas appliances put out a lot of heat and they have more realistic flame patterns and logs than ever before.

Sound too good to be true? Don’t worry – we’re happy to report that it is not. Here at Sleep Easy Chimney Service & Repair, we only sell and install products from brands that we trust.

Do Gas Fireplaces, Inserts & Stoves Need Routine Service & Maintenance?

Yes, absolutely. Gas appliances are known to be considerably less maintenance than their traditional, wood-burning counterpart – that’s one of the biggest appeals of switching to gas – but it’s important to note that “less maintenance” is not the same as “no maintenance.” 

Remember, we are still talking about an appliance that creates and maintains a living, breathing fire. It’s always recommended to stay generally aware of your system’s appearance and performance – that way you have a better idea of what services to schedule and when to schedule them.

On average, how often should you have your gas fireplace inspected? 

Well, all appliances, regardless of fuel type, need to be inspected by a certified chimney professional every single year. Most manufacturers also recommend having your gas fireplace, stove, log set, or insert serviced annually, too. When you call Sleep Easy to schedule your routine maintenance appointment, you can expect us to check and test every little part and piece of your unit including:

• Pilot light
• The blowers
• Wiring and connectivity
• Various controls
• Venting system and pipes
• The logs and/or other media

We’ll also clean the logs, replace any embers, clean the glass, and make sure there aren’t any dangerous carbon monoxide leaks. If any components have failed or you’re experiencing issues with performance or safety, we can replace failing parts and figure out just what needs to be done to repair and restore your fireplace, insert, stove, or gas log set.
