About Vented and Non-Vented Gas Heaters

The two most widely-known heating systems are the vented and ventless gas heaters. The main difference between the two of them is that the vented heaters are mounted and the ventless ones can be either permanent or portable products.

• The flexibility allows it to either be a stationary or a movable heating unit that can be taken from place to place. 


• Set up is fairly easy and pricing is inexpensive. 


• The degree of energy consumption is minimal in a ventless heater. 


• The units are energy efficient and burn fuel without emitting any gas or smoke, making it environmentally friendly. 


• Ventless heaters also run for longer periods of time, which means that it saves an individual the hassle of constantly going back for refills. 


• A consumer purchasing a ventless heater can use it to heat a single room, garage or even use it outdoors. 

 Vented Gas Heaters

• Provides the comfort of having the entire house heated. 


• There is a level of safety with vented units because of the fact that they are mounted to the wall and can't be moved around. This reduces the risk of burn injuries. 


• There are many brands to choose from, but installation should be left to a professional.


• Installation of a vented gas heater can be expensive and the repairs can be costly as well.


• Using a vented gas heater in colder regions can cause condensation build-up underneath the heater. This needs to be monitored in order to prevent stains.
