B-Vent Fireplaces

B-vent or natural vent fireplaces use air from inside your home to fuel combustion and rely on the buoyancy of hot gases to vent exhaust through dedicated pipe systems. This simple design makes them cheaper and easier to install than direct vent models, but they are much less efficient. You'll want to carefully consider your budget and heating needs before deciding whether a b-vent fireplace is right for you.
