- Heat and Glo Direct Vent Technology Continues to Protect Indoor Air Quality
- (2/4/2009)
- According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), homeowners today are increasingly concerned about indoor air quality, which if compromised, can trigger respiratory ailments like asthma. The EPA states that indoor pollution sources that release gases or particles into the air are the primary cause of air quality problems in the home. It is also proven that insufficient ventilation can increase indoor pollutant levels by not circulating enough outdoor air inside the home to dilute emissions, and by not carrying indoor air pollutants out of the home.Unlike unvented or vent free gas fireplaces, direct vent technology expels 100 percent of the fireplace's combustion exhaust, moisture and odors outside of the home. Indoor air quality is not compromised because a sealed combustion system keeps by-products, such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and excess moisture from entering the home.
