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.

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.

We bought one of your stoves 2 years ago and love it. However, the thermocoupler is faulting and needs replacement. We have misplaced our owners manual. Where can we find a new part or can I order one from you direct. Model #C9740LP serial # 002365. I just purchased C9947N and installed it Tues. evening (the 15th) from Quality Farm And Fleet, in which is going out of business. I have a considerable amount of carbon monoxide. Everything meets standards in the manual.

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.

These type of fireplaces do not have a sealed combustion chamber and relies on the bouyancy of hot gases to vent effectively. They must be installed either with an existing chimney that meets the local building code standards or they can be installed using a B vent which is a vent pipe that must be installed to the same parameters of a masonry chimney but can be enclosed in combustible material. They draw air (oxygen) necessary for combustion from the area surrounding the fireplace.

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.

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

Hoods are designed to deflect heat from wood such as a mantel. Check the installation instructions for your log sets to see if the mantel height requires you to install a hood.

The starting point is always to check your owner's manual. It will provide guidance on what can be done on your own. Most manufacturers recommend an annual maintenance check by a certified heating professional. Watch for soot on the glass or logs. In the case of direct venting to the outside, check the outside of the building for soot also. Usually, "sooting" means that the fuel to air ratio on the burner needs to be adjusted. The unit must be off before cleaning.

Service your fireplace annually. You should have a qualified technician inspect and clean your unit on a yearly basis to make sure your fireplace is operating properly and to protect your investment.

Answer: Vent free heaters may not be changed from one gas type to another. The American Gas Association/Canadian Standard Association certifies the unit according to the gas type used. Changing this type will change the certification as well as void the warrant and most of the time it is more expensive to convert the product than it is to buy a new unit.

Direct vent technology is available in single-sided or multi-sided fireplaces, as well as freestanding and insert models. They use a sealed combustion chamber that vents out the back or top, to the outside. This allows easy installation of a beautiful and realistic fireplace without the expense of a traditional chimney system. Because no room air is used for combustion, direct vents are especially efficient (up to 70+%) and will not alter the quality of your room air.

All gas fireplaces need a constant supply of fresh air in order to operate. Direct Vent fireplaces have a sealed, glass-fronted combustion chamber that keeps the byproducts of combustion out of the living space. Air is drawn into the firebox from outside the home using a special co-axial flue pipe system. This 'pipe within a pipe' also exhausts the flue products outside the home. Direct vent fireplaces offer good efficiency because they don't steal heated air from the living space. Back to Top

B-Vent fireplaces (sometimes called Top Vent or Natural Vent) draw air into the combustion chamber from inside the home. This fresh air is mixed with gas and burned in the fireplace. The fireplace exhausts the byproducts of combustion outside of your home using a dedicated B-Vent flue pipe. Although fresh air is used from inside your home, products of combustion are never vented into your home. Back to Top

A Vent Free fireplace does not use a chimney or flue pipe. These fireplaces burn extremely clean so the byproducts of combustion can be vented back into the room. This eliminates the need for a chimney resulting in lower installation costs. Because they do not send hot flue gases up the chimney, these fireplaces are extremely heat-efficient. All models feature an Oxygen Depletion Sensor for maximum safety. Back to Top

Answer: A direct-vent fireplace is a sealed combustion appliance where air is drawn from outside and all smoke and vapor is vented directly outside.

Yes, and they have been used for many years now. Vent free fireplaces come equipped with an oxygen depletion sensor, which will detect any unsafe levels of carbon monoxide and shut the system down. These types of gas logs are also approached by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
