B-Vent Fireplaces

B-Vent Fireplaces are often cheaper to install than their direct vent counterparts, but you should be aware that B-vent fireplaces are not the most efficient fireplaces when it comes to heating your home. If you’re looking for a great decorative fireplace, a B-vent fireplace is the perfect option for you!

Because the by-products of combustion are hot – and hot air rises - B-vent fireplaces naturally send the heat created up through the vent, which provides a route for the gases to escape from the house. Most B-vent fireplaces are used simply for decoration because their simple design does not allow them to do a sufficient job of heating a large room like a family room or living room. They can heat smaller rooms like bedrooms, but make sure you check building codes to see if a B-vent fireplace is approved in your locality or for installation in the room where you'd like to use it.
