In addition, unlike a wood stove or
coal stove, they do not require constant nursing to make sure they are loaded
with wood and that the chimney is clean from creosote buildup.
Direct vent heating systems also
offer a number of other advantages and features. First, since they are direct
vent they do not require a chimney or special construction thus saving on
installation and maintenance costs. Second, they are extremely efficient. Many
direct vent heating systems yield efficiencies in the 80%+ range.

They are also deemed safe combustion
systems by the American Gas Association (AGA) and Canadian Gas Association (CGA),
due to the fact that they are sealed combustion systems and use electronic
ignition systems. With direct vent heating systems there are no pilot lights or
exposed flames to worry about.
In terms of unique features offered
with direct vent heating systems there are quite a few to choose from. Many
models offer built-in humidification, programmable setback capabilities and
whisper quiet circulation fans.

They are also available in a number
of different sizes, capacities, and styles to match any type of home décor.
Direct vent heating systems are
available in a variety of BTU (British Thermal Unit) and heating area
capacities. Various direct vent heating system models can produce between 14,000
to 40,000 BTUs and heat areas from 200 to 2,000 square feet.
Direct vent heating systems are also
available for providing on-demand hot water.
So if you are looking to provide
supplemental heating to your home or home addition, consider installing a direct
vent heating system. Besides keeping you warmer during the cold winter months,
they are both installation affordable and inexpensive to operate.
