View Available BrandsWhy Choose Vent-Free?
1. 99.9% Efficiency: Since there is no chimney for heat to escape, virtually every penny you spend on fuel stays in the room as heat.
2. Works Without Power: Vent-free units do not require electricity to operate. During Kentucky ice storms or power outages, these units provide a reliable, life-saving source of emergency heat.
3. Installation Flexibility: No chimney or venting ductwork is required, meaning you can install them on interior walls, in basements, or in masonry fireplaces with a closed damper.
