Vineyard Home installs two types of natural gas and propane fireplaces

• Fireplace Inserts – Designed to be installed within an existing masonry cavity or fireplace and uses the existing chimney to house the venting. Inserts are more efficient than a wood-burning fire with technology that eliminates unwanted drafts and heat loss.
• A Built-in Fireplace – Installation of a fireplace where there isn’t one now.

YES, A modern fireplace is (can be) a reliable heat source for your home, filling your room with a mix of warm air and radiant heat.

Although a modern gas fireplace doesn’t produce any smoke or odor, it’s flames do create emissions.

• A direct vent fireplace Draws its air directly from outside and vents its emissions back out using the same two-part vent pipe, keeping radiant heat in the room and the emissions outside. No Chimney is required.
• A ventless (unvented or vent-free) fireplace draws its air from inside the home and directs heat and emissions back into the room. Ventless indoor units are tuned to burn extra clean and have a built-in oxygen sensor that automatically shuts the unit off if the room’s oxygen level dips below safe levels. The advantage of a ventless fireplace is that it can be installed anywhere in your home where a vent pipe might not fit.
