Ventless wall mount natural gas heater

[Jack Murdock]

I'm still reading up on these and was reading some comments and someone mentioned that gas cooking ranges and stove are ventless and don't seem to cause an issue. I don't know if that is a good comparison though. I'm trying to talk myself into buying one as you can see. I see a lot of negatives thoughts on ventless, but then again, I'm using it for supplemental heat, so I don't see it being an issue.

I would be 100% confident. I have been doing gas installs since 1980 and have always serviced what I sold. That being said my wife has a better sense of smell than I do but she did not have any complaints either.

That makes me feel good to hear.

Have you looked into a mini split? My buddy spent under $1000 and has been very happy with his.

No, do you mean like a heat pump?

I put one in my workshop and in my garage and both work great. In our area whenever I go to someones house it is very common to see. I never heard anything negative about using them. Cheap and easy to install.

Yes heat pump in the winter and AC in the summer. My buddy’s was kicking out 100.6°f air when it was 26°f yesterday morning.

I have an Empire 30K Blue Flame propane wall mount in my living room for emergency heat. I run it every few years, then make sure it is clean and wrap it in plastic. Works great.

I have a 20,000 btu propane unit I use to heat a 2,000 sq ft house. It's all I use. I have used it for the last 6 years or so. No problems with moisture or smell. 99% efficient... My propane bill went down considerably. My central heating units only get turned on if we get in the low teens. Pretty much never. Your one room? No problem.

Hello,
I have never owned a ventless heater so I'm only going by what I heard, but I have heard that the ventless ones leave a film or black residue on the walls. Anyone ever experience anything like that ?

I've heard that, CO2 and also about the moisture, but the moisture and CO2 issue I don't think will be an issue for me. I would only use this heater as supplemental heat. Also, since I have a fireplace in the same area, I'm sure I get downdrafts of outside air when the fireplace isn't running.

I did purchase one last night. I have it partially installed. I needed a couple more gas fittings to finish the connections.
