If there is no vent, where do the emission products go? into the heated living space?
1256549
Yes. All the CO2 and moisture generated by the combustion process go right into the room. However, most homes breathe enough that this is not a problem.

The only emission noted is moisture (H2O) which has been a benefit: we used to suffer from excessive winter dryness. I added a small port to allow outside air enter the area near the heater because our home is very well sealed (normally this isn't necessary). The port can be closed; about 1 square inch. We do not need the fan on normally so the silent gentle heat provided is clean and quiet,and, keeps humidity at a comfortable level.

I do not know the technical lingo, but there is no emissions, it's like the flame that would burn in your hot water tank, it's safe and there are no fumes or carbon monoxide emissions.
1256552
Yes. But, while emissions are produced, the elements are those naturally occurring in the atmosphere. The natural venting of a home is considered more than enough to dissipate the by-products so that there is no build up.

The manufacturer claims almost all of the gas is burned. When it was installed by a plumber, he tested it and found no gas emission. I've been using it for about six weeks now with no issues. As a matter of fact, it's almost too big for my office which is about 275 Sq. Ft. When on lowest setting, it maintains about 60 degrees. I also keep one of my windows opened a crack all the time anyway. Hope that helps.

This is certainly a valid concern. This unit does have an auto shut-off providing for that safety measure. I am, however, concerned about this same issue. So, I do not seal my windows from fresh air flow, and my ceilings are 10 foot high, and I do not use this unit as a primary source of heat. It's a secondary and I use it quite randomly, occasionally at night for an hour or two. I purchased this unit so that I would never be held hostage to the elements of weather (such as I was in Hurricane Sandy) in case I lose electricity. Your point is well-taken, but as I said, this unit has provided for a auto shut-off in this matter. Regardless, my furnace is the primary source of heat... This is certainly a valid concern.

Yes air should move enough and is quiet running. I would ensure vent in/out hole was there.

We leave our vent open in the fireplace. This seems to eliminate the order.

This makes sense, you are wise to use a filter before installing the #1 canister. Also would you tell me how to vent the heater in one small room, I have windows but hate to open them, as the cold air comes in?

There's a 6" tube that will vent out the hot air from the unit. It's ideal if you had a window to let the hot air vent out otherwise it will probably just recirculate the hot air into your living room.

Comes out at separate vent areas. We love our heater and have not had any problems.

It could produce a lot of smoke if allowed to really heat up, but as a cook I heat to the point of light smoke then add the food, so using it inside without a vent isn't an issue.

The unit must be vented outside. A window is the most convenient, although I vented mine through a wall.There is only one hose on my unit.

The butane is expelled into the atmosphere through the exhaust, I vac inside and don't have any issues

Where is the exhaust air going? The unit ships with the exhaust air coming out the top center of the microwave and back into the kitchen. Alternately the exhaust air can be set to exit out the back of the unit through an outside wall and out the building. Perhaps your fan is on the air is blocked and is going nowhere. Who installed the unit?

The ac will pull air from the room and during the conversion process pull the heat out of said air. Then blow the cool air back into the room. The vent to the outside is to give the heat that is removed somewhere to go. Otherwise there is no where for it to disipate to other than back into the room.

No venting needed, if you room is very tight you might want to get a little fresh air.

There are no vents. You need to by a wall sleeve and install it before you put the unit in. The wall sleeve vents only to the back.

Hi Stephen. The top of the gas has a small slit on the sides for ventilation. You'd have to get a small fan as the inside of the case is about a third the size of the length of the case and about 3/4" deep.

Air blows out of the front . It pulls the air from the vent and into the room . It can not be reversed unless you are mounting it from the inside . If you are trying to push air through the system . So it does exhaust into the room .

You will need a way to vent the air out of the cabinet. You can point the device and in any direction to direct the air in a certain way, but you will need to vent it. Truthfully, you should have an intake and exhaust. A direction for air to enter and exit, otherwise you are still putting your equipment at risk.

There is no ventilation, but the unit is not air tight. The finish is similar to brushed nickel, but not an exact match.
