Direct Vent Gas Fireplace Insert as a Healthier Alternative

September 27th, 2009 by admin

If you’re planning to install a gas fireplace insert, the best would be to install a direct vent gas fireplace.  This type has been tested to have similar standards as with furnaces. A direct vent gas fireplace insert features a sealed combustion system that provides more heating efficiency. This system ensures that the combustion air that creates flames originated entirely from outside the home through a direct vent pipe. This procedure reduces heat loss, which is common in conventional chimneys.  With a direct vent gas fireplace, you trap most of the heat, 85 percent, in the house. The direct vent pipe pushes out 100 percent of the fire’s combustion exhaust outside the house, thereby protecting the quality of the air indoors. Because of these reasons, a direct ventgas fireplace insert is a healthier alternative to other heat-providing devices.
