Ventless Fireplace


RealFlameA ventless gel fireplace is one of the most popular types of ventless fireplaces available on the market. This specific type of ventless fireplace is fueled by a gel based formula. This gel formula usually comes in cans & can be formulated to actually mimic the sounds & smells of a real wood burning fire. This type of ventless fireplace can come in many different models; almost all wall hung and table top models are ventless gel fireplaces. Many of the ventless fireplace safety issues aren’t as prevalent with ventless gel fireplace models, however some do exist. Anyone looking to add a fireplace to their household should give consideration to ventless gel fireplaces.

Wall Hanging Ventless Gel FireplaceOne thing to remember is that a ventless gel fireplace is not useful as a secondary heating source. The gel fuel cans usually cannot produce enough BTUs to efficiently heat a room in your home. However, if the room is small enough it may help a bit if there already is a primary heating source that is operational. As always, make sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when it comes to the minimum room size requirements for your ventless gel fireplace. If you’re only looking to improve the décor of your household then a ventless gel fireplace it’s the perfect choice.
