Our direct vent fireplaces have several advantages over traditional gas fireplaces in terms of safety, efficiency, and versatility. A direct vent fireplace uses outdoor air instead of indoor air for combustion. It pulls in air from the outdoors through the outer chamber of a double vent pipe; the inner chamber of this pipe exhausts fumes. The natural flow of heat creates a convection loop; as hot air exits the pipe, cooler, denser air is siphoned in to fill the void. Since direct vent fireplaces generate cooler combustion gases, the flue can be installed through the wall.

Direct vent fireplaces burn natural gas or propane like traditional fireplaces; however, they convert most of the fuel to usable heat. They are completely sealed off from the interior rooms by a glass door, which prevents significant heat loss.

With efficiency ratings similar to gas furnaces, direct vent fireplaces will keep you from shivering on a cold winter night at lower cost than a gas fireplace.
