Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Vent Free Gas Log Installation
Before installing a vent-free gas log you need to ensure that the firebox and chimney flue are cleaned. During the cleaning creosote, soot, loose paint and ash is removed. Homeowners are also advised to ensure the gas log is connected to the correct gas type; either propane or natural gas.

Vent free gas logs are intended to add warmth to the air but homeowners are discouraged from installing them in parts of the house with minimal ventilation. Also do not have the gas log installed in areas with cloth or vinyl walls.

The log set should be placed at the center of the fireplace. Try and maintain the minimum wall clearances but if you have enough space it is advisable that you ensure greater clearance from adjoining wall, ceiling and floor.

Ensure the vent is connected with an external regulator to reduce pressure of incoming gas otherwise the heater regulator could be damaged. Before term "vent-free" got coined, the appliances were called by accurate and less friendly- names, "room vented" or "unvented". The vent free stoves, fireplaces and gas logs do not have the chimneys because exhaust vents in breathing space of home instead outside. The vent free stoves, fireplaces and gas logs are the controversial subject. On a plus side, they're less expensive and easier to install, as they do not need installation of the exhaust venting to outside. On minus side, lots of medical professionals and scientists are concerned about the health problems, which derive from the breathing gas exhaust.

(1) Apart from unpleasant odor & possibility of coating the whole house with the black carbon deposits while they want cleaning and go out of the adjustment, the vent-free appliances actually are considered by medical experts to be the health hazard. The Air Quality scientists also have warned that the heaters produce enough of pollutants to make the building occupants sick. Also, there are documented cases that involve symptoms linked with the low level of CO poisoning in the homes where the vent free gas products are used.

(2) With carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, the gas exhaust has nitrogen dioxide that combines with the water to get nitric acid: The proponents of the vent free appliances suggest allowable nitrogen dioxide concentration 0.5ppm, in spite of a fact that the international, state and federal agencies have reported concentration of half this amount (0.25 ppm) will result in the unacceptable air quality.

(3) All the parties to debate agree on vent free heaters rightly for amount of the ventilation in home and local climate is important element in the safe operation. Problem with the sizing guidelines is they're hard to follow, as installers do not have necessary air infiltration & ventilation information accessible for given house.
