What are the advantages of the direct vent fireplace?

Fireplaces
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...

What is a Direct Vent fireplace?

Gas Fireplaces FAQ Page @ Montigo.com
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...
