A Direct Vent Fireplace Helps You Identify the Type of Fireplace
When you purchase an existing home you may find the home comes with a fireplace. However, you might have no idea what type of fireplace is installed. One way to distinguish gas from wood burning fireplaces is whether there is a chimney which goes out through the roof. Another thing to look for is a direct vent. A direct vent fireplaceis a gas fireplace and the vent will be along the exterior wall of the home and will not have a chimney.
Difference between Models of Direct Vent Fireplace Units
There are differences between models of direct vent fireplace units on the market today, like those available on our website, here at New Energy Distributing. Some styles will be all self-contained with the direct vent hidden from normal view. Other types will have a short chimney-like structure which will go up from the fireplace and out of the side exterior wall and are in plain sight.
