Are vent-free fireplaces, vent free logs and other vent-free products difficult to maintain?
Vent-free fireplaces, vent free fireplace inserts and other vent-free products do not have chimneys, flues or vents that can get clogged, need repair or cleaning, or provide a conduit for unwelcome pests. Vent-free appliances, like all gas appliances, should be inspected annually for proper operation by a qualified service agency. This typically consists of a cleaning, checking the burner and inspecting the appliance’s other key components and ignition system. Owners should review the product manual prior to operating the unit. The other main benefit of vent-free gas appliances is that they eliminate the need for chopping and hauling wood or cleaning ash from wood burning in a conventional fireplace.
