Natural Gas HeatersPosted on March 1, 2010. Vent natural gas heaters are they safe and what are the advantages and disadvantages? I have natural gas readily available and am considering one of these heaters vent free. Kinda scary with no exhaust. Newer versions are more secure, they are equipped with oxygen sensors that can detect low-oxygen conditions and reduce the flame OFF until the level yield oxygen. They are very effective but have a disadvantage, they put out a lot of moisture in the air. Now granted, which may be a good thing but they really produce lots of moisture and you can get too quickly into the air resulting from mold and mildew problem. They are best used as a supplement to a forced air system good. Do not let anyone scare you about the latter, although used, they are a plus. This is not recommended. Most communities prohibit the code, but people stupidly install them anyway. They are safe and approved. They produce little smoke. Like a gas stove or oven is not broken. 100percent of the heat stays in the room. I have one, but to be sure I will not leave it on when I sleep. They produce humidity, it can steam your windows a bit. They are totally safe because they consume 99% of gas. In the past, I heated a two-storey house with two of them without any problems whatsoever. My past in a heat pump that gas is not very expensive in our region. sell, where I used to work and had 2 in my house. No problem, I know. They have an automatic stop now so that the heater off if there is lack of oxygen at home. CommentsThere are no comments.Leave a Comment |
