Unlike most fireplaces, a direct vent fireplace uses sealed combustion chambers, meaning it utilizes outside air rather than the air from inside your home. This unique styled fireplace escorts cold air through one chamber and releases exhaust through the other, resulting in a highly effective fireplace that maintains warm air within your home.
The direct vent fireplace runs on either natural gas or propane and is heavily differentiated from standard fireplaces with chimneys. Since there is no chimney necessary, the direct vent fireplace can be installed almost anywhere in your home and can be vented through the ceiling or a wall with use of its sealed combustion chamber. When the fireplace is not in use, the sealed combustion system denies any cold air from entering your home, which enhances the fire-burning efficiency.
Efficiency
The direct vent fireplace is arguably the most effective fireplace on the market today due to its high energy efficiency and ability to maintain heat. Since the direct vent fireplace obtains a sealed combustion chamber, the heat is able to be longer lasting in comparison to wood-burning fireplaces and lacks the scent of firewood. Since this type of fireplace is gas based, less emissions are produced which leads to cleaner air-quality within your home.
Safety
The direct vent fireplace denies all outside air pollution from entering your home with the use of its sealed air combustion, allowing strictly safe air quality within your home. Since this is not your usual fireplace with a chimney, there is zero risk of experiencing any type of backdraft or outdoor smoke that could potentially enter your home. The direct vent fireplace is the perfect alternative for those wanting a safer and cleaner fireplace within their homes.
Easy to Use
The direct vent fireplace is very simple to use and requires almost no maintenance when not in use. The fireplace is controlled through a hand-held remote that controls basic functions such as temperature levels and on and off buttons. Other features usually included are automatic turn-off functions and sensors that constantly monitor temperature levels.
