Today's contemporary ventless fireplaces are becoming
more popular than ever before. And with good reason to. They
are extremely energy efficient and do not require any
ventilation ductwork.
Are you the type of person who enjoys sitting with your
loved ones around a fireplace but you find that you get all
choked up from the smoke which pours out? Have you ever wanted
to turn on your fireplace, but realized that you would first
have to clean everything out, find some fuel for the flames and
crawl into your chimney to activate the flue? Are you the type
of person who loves the causal glow of a fireplace, but does
not want to risk putting carbon dioxide from the smoke into the
air around your home? If you answered yes to any of these
questions, then perhaps you need to look into a relatively new
type of fireplace – the ventless fireplace design.
We all know that the fireplace in our homes is switched on
so few times during the year that it becomes a real hassle each
time we feel like turning it on. You have to clean out the
inside of the fireplace, open the flue for the smoke to escape
and scrounge around for the wood you will be burning. However,
with a ventless fireplace, there is no need for any of that
prep work that was previously associated with most archaic
fireplaces.
Thanks to its design and its fuel source, a ventless
fireplace is completely clean burning and will not give you any
troubles – even if you only use it once or twice every ten
years. All of these great benefits come from the fact that a
ventless fireplace does not burn coal, gas, wood, or any other
substance that may produce smoke. Of course, you can find a
ventless gas fireplace, but I suggest you look in a different
direction.
Instead, ventless fireplaces use a jellied alcohol which is
perfectly clean burning and simply will not put out any smoke
into your room or the atmosphere. So, if you are looking for an
environmentally friendly, no hassle solution to your old
fireplace, perhaps a ventless fireplace is just what you need
in your home.
