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. See similar questions...

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.

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. See similar questions...

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 See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

Direct-vent products derive their combustion air from outside of the home. This is often achieved through either side by side vent pipes or pipes designed with one pipe inside another. One of the two pipes brings in the fresh air and the other expels exhaust gases. Direct-vent products are generally considered to be more efficient than b-vent models. See similar questions...

e are three different terms that represent three different ways of 'venting' a gas fireplace, that is, to supply combustion air to the fireplace and evacuate combustion gases out of the house. In Australia, the term 'open flue' is commonly used instead of 'B-vent'. B-vent means a traditional type 'B', 4' (102mm) rigid pipe used to evacuate combustion gases. It can also be a certified flexible aluminium liner of the same diameter, inserted into an existing masonry chimney or a prefab chimney. See similar questions...

A B-vent must be vented vertically and uses air from inside the home to provide oxygen to the fire. A direct vent uses a sealed glass front and pulls all of its combustion air from outside the home. This is important in new construction or well insulated homes that are tightly built. Direct vents can be vented vertically or horizontally through an exterior wall. Direct vents are more efficient than B-vents since they do not take any air out of your home. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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

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. See similar questions...
