Yes. Most building codes allow the installation of a gas fireplace in a sleeping room as long as it is a sealed combustion, direct vent model. Your decision really comes down to whether heat or aesthetics is your #1 priority.

YES, provided that your fireplace is equipped with a ?millivolt? gas valve model S.I.T. Nova 820, Honeywell # VS8420E8001, or Robertshaw Millivolt. Consult the owner's manual to find out what type of valve is on your fireplace. Osburn's model Romance has a millivolt thermostatic valve. To verify the possibility of adding a wall thermostat or a remote control, you can remove the valve's cover and look for the ?TP?, ?TH?, and ?TP-TH? ports located on the valve.

Direct vent gas fireplaces are safety tested with a specific brand of pipe. Therefore, it is not possible to install a direct vent gas fireplace with any type of exhaust system. The brand (manufacturer) of the pipe chosen must have been specifically approved for your Osburn gas fireplace. For instance, Osburn model ?Romance? is approved with the following brands of pipe: B-Vent gas fireplaces can simply be installed with a type ?B? pipe for gas appliances.

Vent-free gas log sets can be installed in most masonry fireplaces, as long as the set's clearance and ventilation requirements are met. For installation in prefabricated fireplaces or fireboxes, follow the fireplace manufacturer's recommendations, as well as meeting the set's clearance and ventilation requirements. Refer to the log set's owner's manual to determine clearances and unconfined space requirements.

All vent-free appliances, whether natural or propane, produce water. The accumulation can range from 3/4 to 1pint of moisture per hour in the room. Under normal conditions, this does not cause a problem. However, if you have a problem, you will need to provide an outlet for this moisture. This can be accomplished by providing adequate ventilation or using a dehumidifier to help control the moisture. Yes/No.

Yes. They can be vented or the damper can be closed and be burned as vent-free for an excellent source of heat.

A - Installing an open gas log set into a wood-burning fireplace is essentially just changing fuels. If your wood-burning fireplace smokes under certain conditions, it is likely that a log set will spill some of its combustion by-products into the room under the same conditions. In these circumstances, it is recommended to install an efficient gas insert with a single or double liner vent system.

You will need to consult the operating guide for your particular fireplace model. If you use another manufacturer's gas logs, you need to maintain the clearances they specify. You can only install vented gas logs in our wood burning fireplaces. No. Installing vent-free (room vented) gas logs into our fireplaces presents a potential safety hazard as these fireplaces have not been tested or listed by UL or AGA for these applications.

The Building Safety and Sustainbility Division reviews these plans to ensure that installing the fireplace and flue does not compromise the structural integrity of the home. The plans are also reviewed to verify that the fireplace is properly vented and that the chimney is a safe distance above the roof. The installation of a wood burning stove or other heater also requires a permit.

Although the frequency of your fireplace servicing and maintenance will depend on use and the type of installation, you should have a qualified Mr. Fireplace service technician perform an appliance check-up at the beginning of each heating season.

No! The beauty of Regency Direct Vent technology is that you do not necessarily need to go up through your roof to terminate the venting. All you need is proximity to an outside wall, the distance to which depends on the model you choose. Not only does this make installation more flexible, but it also keeps the costs down. And with our sleek and attractive patented AstroCap horizontal termination cap, you won't be cluttering up the outside of your home either.

We recommend not moving the logs. Placement of the logs is critical to the operation and performance of the fireplace. Misarranged logs can result in operational problems. If you notice the logs have been moved during cleaning, contact a service person or check your installation and operating instructions for proper placement.

This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be cleaned within 4-6 hours of initial burning to remove deposits left by oils from the manufacturing process. A non-abrasive cleanser such as Brasso may be necessary. The glass panel must remain in place but the screen will be removed so that the fixed glass doors will not fit on the unit.

Vent free fireplaces are fireplaces that do not require any type of vent system. Instead, they are designed to burn clean and the combustion by-products allowed to flow into the room the fireplace is located in. Stringent requirements ensure that these fireplaces not only burn cleanly, but that they are located in rooms of sufficient size to ensure an adequate supply of fresh air is always available for the combustion process.

Valor fireplace heaters are so effective at producing both radiant and convected heat that a blower will not do a lot to improve your comfort. Blowers cannot deliver radiant heat nor will they influence air circulation much beyond the immediate area of the fireplace.

No. Gas fireplaces are designed to burn gas only. Burning wood would damage the fireplace and could be very dangerous.

You can adjust the intensity of the fireplace from low to high with the control knob.

Gas logs burn cleaner than wood burning fireplaces do. Annual inspections are recommended but cleaning annually isn't necessary.

Your fireplace would reflect heat into the room & would have to be burned for a long period of time to make the fireplace heat efficient. There are other sources of energy such as wood stoves or inserts that are more efficient.
