While many homeowners prefer
direct vent fireplaces, some prefer “B” vent fireplaces as the unit
itself is sometimes less expensive. However the additional venting
cost of a “B” vent fireplace may more than offset any savings on the
unit compared to a Direct Vent Fireplace. New Energy Distributing
can help you decide which type of fireplace system is best for you. HERE’S HOW THEY WORK: A “B” vent fireplace draws air from inside the home thus making them much less efficient. They are installed using “B” vent pipe which is very similar to the pipe used to vent a conventional furnace or water heater. The hot flue gases rise naturally up through the vent which must pass through the roof and terminate above nearby obstructions. A direct vent fireplace, in contrast, draws air from outside the home using either a collinear (pipe within a pipe) or coaxial (two pipes generally ran side by side with a single termination) vent pipe system. In either case one pipe is for exhaust and one if for intake. The heated air inside the unit expands causing the exhaust gases to exit from the exhaust pipe while pulling fresh air from outside the home in through the intake pipe. Direct vent systems do not have to terminate above the roof. They can terminate horizontally through an exterior wall often saving hundreds of dollars in chase construction. Before purchasing a “B” vent fireplace you may want to speak to one of our trained staff to find out if a direct vent fireplace may provide you with more options. The highly trained staff at New Energy Distributing can assist you with any questions you might have regarding your fireplace purchase.
