Are ventless products difficult to maintain?
Ventless products do not have chimneys, flues or vents that can get clogged, need repair or cleaning, or provide a conduit for unwelcome pests. Ventless 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 ventless gas appliances is that they eliminate the need for chopping and hauling wood or cleaning ash from wood burning in a conventional fireplace.
