A fireplace is quite the regal looking addition to any room. It gives off many good vibes and can accentuate any decor if chosen appropriately. However, not all of us can bear to get a real one installed in their houses, for budget reasons, space constraints, as well as fire safety concerns.
A free standing ventless gas fireplace, is a cost-effective yet convenient alternative to traditional fireplaces. It doesn’t require any wood fuel, doesn’t have a chimney, and is easy to install.
These products run on propane or natural gas. They usually come with a supply line connected to free you from refueling worries. In the markets, you may find gel-fueled models, which do not need the supply of natural gas and are pretty much free from smoke and ash. It may require professional installation because of the supply line, but you can assemble the latter without much trouble.
Also, many free-standing ventless gas fireplaces have an automatic ignition. But the gel fueled models may need a match to light them up.
Do keep in mind that any free-standing ventless gas fireplace will require thorough cleaning at least once a year. If you are going with the gas-supply model, you may also want to install a carbon monoxide meter in the room to keep an eye on any fluctuating levels of the gas in the room’s air, which may indicate that the product has run its course and must be replaced or repaired.
While choosing a size, keep the area to be heated in mind, as the heat output of any model will directly be affected by the space it’s expected to warm up. The designs vary, with models that have linear and curved structures, pebble finish, and which look like a hearth, or a fuel stove. The cast iron models can be compact as well as large, and you can pick as per your room’s specifications.
