Vented Fireplaces Pittsburgh
A vented model requires feeding a damper up and out of the chimney to expel harmful fumes. Though a vented model will not provide a remote control option, they will provide the most natural looking logs and will burn much cleaner. Also, compared to a ventless gas insert, some of the heat produced will escape through the vent and out the chimney.
Ventless Fireplaces Pittsburgh
A ventless model will generate more heat than a vented model and allow you to use a remote control for those exhausting nights. Since this gas fireplace does not have a vent, the warm air has nowhere else to go but in. Along the same line, this model is not as efficient at removing fumes created by combustion and will eventually leave some of them in the house as well as leaving behind residue on your walls several years later.
