Gas Fireplaces, gas fireplace stoves, and gas
fireplace inserts, and direct vent heaters offer a convenient
option - installation flexibility. Just a hole through the wall
behind or above the fireplace or heating unit will bring outside air in and
return the flue gases back to the outside through a double wall flue pipe.
This sealed system is safe and efficient because no air from the home is used
for combustion.
A sealed-combustion
direct-vent fireplace is by far the most efficient fireplace option. Since the
entire operation is independent of the household air, with sealed combustion
direct vent fireplaces there are no drafts and no heat loss. In fact, these
fireplaces operate at a near 90 percent efficiency rate. AFUE-rated fireplaces
can generate as much heat as a furnace upwards of 40,000 Btu in some cases and
should be taken into account in any heating and cooling calculations for your
home.
LAM Enterprises offers a large variety of direct vent
gas multi-sided fireplaces in see thru, peninsula, arched and traditional styles of
direct vent gas fireplaces.
All of the products we sell are AGA,
RADCO, CSA, ICBO, UL, ULC approved.

See-Through Gas Fireplaces, and Peninsula Gas Fireplace Inserts
While a traditional
wood burning fireplace provides an open
burning chamber that vents through a chimney, a direct vent fireplace does not
require a chimney, and can vent horizontally out a sidewall or vertically to the
roof. The direct vent fireplace also has a completely enclosed chamber that is
highly efficient, drawing in air for combustion from the outside and expelling
gasses to the outside as well. The front glass enclosure is porous, allowing
radiant heat to pass into the room.
The direct vent fireplace heats a room
without robbing it of oxygen or of the heated air it is providing, while also
keeping it free of fumes and combustible materials such as embers or ash.
A direct vent fireplace can be a wonderful choice
for rooms in which a traditional fireplace is not practical or possible. Aside
from providing clean warmth and the cheery glow of real fire, a direct vent
fireplace saves space by allowing furniture to be positioned directly to either
side with "zero clearance." This simply means that while heat is radiated out
the front glass, the sides are safe for combustibles to butt up against the
firebox. A direct vent fireplace can also be optionally inset into a wall.
The venting system of a direct vent fireplace
consists of a double-walled pipe, or pipe-within-a-pipe. The inner pipe provides
venting to the outside, while the outer pipe carries outside air into the
fireplace. As the outside air is sucked into the venting system, it's heated by
the hot central venting pipe, improving efficiency.
Though a direct vent
fireplace does not require electricity, it does require a propane or natural gas
pipeline for fuel and burns logs specifically made for direct vent models.
A direct vent fireplace can come in many
configurations with various kits and trim. Some kits are designed to look like a
traditional fireplace, complete with mantle, while others are more modern. Many
direct vent fireplaces carry the certification of wall gas furnaces, and their
flexibility makes them extremely popular.
Prices vary depending on manufacturer,
installation needs and model, but in general these fireplaces are far less
expensive than installing a traditional fireplace, while providing many
advantages.
If you've always wanted a fireplace but didn't
think it was possible -- or considered the traditional fireplace too messy --
you might consider a direct vent fireplace. It could be just what your home
needs for those crisp winter nights.
Fireplace Inserts
Inserts are designed to fit in an existing wood burning fireplace and be vented
through an existing chimney via a special vent pipe that carries the fumes to
the outside. Inserts are comprised of a metal firebox that contains the
decorative logs and gas jets. The inner firebox is surrounded by a layer of air
and a second metal layer to contain the air that is warmed by the inner firebox.
When ignited, the fireplace insert draws in fresh air, warms it between the two
boxes, and sends it up through the top of the box and into a room.
Air for
combustion air is drawn in from a second vent pipe (sealed combustion) or, in
some cases, from the room itself (Natural Vent Models). Many models offer a fan or blower to boost
the delivery of warm air to the room and encourage a more even distribution of
heat.
One of the greatest features of any glass-front fireplace is the radiant heat
with which it warms the room. Radiant sources provide steady, continuous heat by
transferring that heat to other objects in the room. Many gas fireplaces provide
both warm air and a radiant heat surface to warm the space around them.

Commonly Ask Fireplace Questions
What is Direct Vent?
A gas heating appliance that draws
combustion air from outdoors and exhausts its combustion products to
the outdoors eliminating the need for a standard chimney system. A
glass panel on the front of direct vent units is critical to keeping
the combustion system sealed from the home, maintaining high
efficiency and indoor air quality. A Direct Vent unit draws air
through a pipe from outside the home, into a sealed firebox. Direct
vents are more efficient than B-vents since they do not take any air
out of your home.
How
do I add a gas fireplace to my home?
If you already have a brick or stone fireplace, or a
factory-built wood burning fireplace, and you want to convert it to
gas, then the most efficient solution is an insert. If you are
remodeling a part of your home that never had any kind of built-in
structure, then you need a pre-fabricated fireplace that does not
require an existing opening or chimney. You will need to cut two
holes for the fireplace, one for the vent pipe and another for the
gas pipe. However, you can install a Direct Vent fireplace directly
against the wall, and then use a mantel cabinet to finish. Mantel
cabinets are the easy solution to quick and economical installation
needs.
Can I
burn wood in my gas fireplace?
Gas models are engineered specifically to burn gas, and cannot
be used to burn wood.
What
type of unit should I use in my bedroom?
A direct vent virtually eliminates any chance of carbon monoxide
coming into the room therefore its usually one of the best choices
for a bedroom. There are some code jurisdictions that do allow a
"vent free" style unit to be installed in a bedroom, but it must be
below 10,000 BTU hr/gas input which usually results in poor flame
aesthetics.
Can I
burn L.P. (Liquid Propane) in my Natural Gas fireplace?
You need to be sure the gas hearth appliance you have is set up
for the type of gas fuel you intend to burn. Conversion kits are
available which will allow a unit to be changed to match the proper
fuel type. They can burn one or the other, but not both. Vent free
units are not convertible.
How
can I control the heat output of my unit?
Most gas units are equipped with a valve adjustment that allows
you to turn down the heat output by up to 50%, providing you with a
wide range of heat for a wide range of temperature conditions. You
can also add a remote control, or wall mounted thermostat, and then
just set the controls to the desired temperature.
How
do I control the blower or fan?
The blower is controlled by a dial (located on the top
left-hand, or right-hand side of the faceplate for inserts, on the
control panel for stoves, and on fireplaces the controls are mounted
on or under the bottom louvers) which turns the blower on and off
and allows you to adjust its speed. In addition to the switch, the
blower is usually hooked up to a thermostat, so that it only
operates within a predetermined temperature range. The advantage is
that the blower will never blow cool air, even if you leave it on
after you turn off your unit. Once the fireplace, stove or insert
cools down to a certain temperature, the thermostat will shut off
the blower. Inversely the blower will not turn on till the unit
warms up.
Do
gas fireplaces and stoves and inserts require AC power to work?
All models do require AC power for the blower to work, but do
not need AC power for the fire. So if there is a power outage you
can still use your unit.
How
do I control my fireplace or stove?
There are several ways of controlling your gas insert, stove or
fireplace. The standard method is with the on/off switch that comes
standard with every unit. Another method is to have a remote
control, which allows you to operate your unit from the comfort of
your couch or lounge chair. The final method is to hook up your unit
to a on & off wall switch, or thermostat and let it run itself
according to the desired room temperature.
Why
do most gas fireplaces have standing pilots?
Most gas fireplaces use a standing pilot ignition system, just
like a gas water heater. This system operates with a pilot light so
there is always a flame to ignite the gas. The pilot light also
generates the power needed to operate the valve, so that if the
pilot light gets blown out accidentally, the valve shuts off and the
gas flow stops. The pilot light feature makes operation both easy
and safe.
Can I
shut the pilot off in the summer?
It's not necessary, but not a bad idea from an energy savings
standpoint. Just remember to relight it before you want to use the
appliance for the first time in the fall.
