Several states within the United States, as well as other countries, have completely outlawed ventless gas fireplaces because of health concerns. Canada, Massachusetts, and California don't allow people to install these types of heaters because of their potential to build up carbon monoxide, deplete oxygen, and lead to unconsciousness or even suffocation. Check with your local building code before purchasing one of these appliances.

Ventless gas fireplaces are controversial but potentially beneficial sources of heat for a single room. Since they do not require a flue, chimney, or external venting ducts, ventless gas fireplaces are much less expensive to install compared to traditional gas or wood fireplaces. Ventless gas fireplaces or heaters uses natural gas or propane as fuel and burns the gas with air from the room.
