Are vent-free heaters safe?
YES! Since 1980, vent-free gas heating appliances have been equipped with a unique safety pilot system called an oxygen depletion sensor, or ODS. The ODS is the proven technological innovation that revolutionized the safety of vent-free gas heating appliances. In 1995, the Vent-Free Gas Products Alliance of the Gas Appliance Manufacturer Association (GAMA) commissioned a study on indoor air quality as it relates to vent-free gas heating products in the home. The results proved that vent-free gas heating products meet and exceed the most current and applicable nationally recognized standards and recommendations for the indoor air quality.
