Older homes often were built with a fireplace to provide a way to make heat during the cold winter months.
One advantage a direct vent fireplace, like the ones available at New Energy Distributing, has over other types of fireplaces which require chimneys is that it can be placed just about anywhere in the home. The only requirement you have to consider is that the direct vent unit has to be placed along an exterior wall of the home and can include a corner as long as one section is part of the exterior wall.
There are two basic designs of fireplaces available for homes, those which burn wood or use gas. You can choose between fireplaces which require a chimney and those that are direct vent. When you do not have the space needed to run a chimney or do not want the expense, you can choose a direct vent fireplace instead, which uses a single vent out of an exterior wall of the home.
