I was wondering if anyone used VENTLESS GAS LOGS to heat their entire
home and if so, did they go to sleep with it on? I guess I am a bit
paranoid, even though my grandparents use to use an open flamed heater
for their only heat source. I am sure it was not ventless, but they
never had a window open and it didn't kill them.

What does the manufacturer say about them? You certainly won't hear me give
you the OK not knowing the specifics of the logs and their ratings.


I also have an air intake in the side of my fireplace. Would it be a
good idea to keep it open with ventless logs or is it not needed.

Any advice, both practical and academic would be most appreciated.

Any advice on using a product we know nothing about is dumb and potentially
dangerous. Refer to the manufacturer.

What is going to take pace that will save you money? What is the fuel for
your central heat now? Why will this save anything? It may end up costing
you more.

There are a few reasons to use the gas logs.
They look pretty
They heat the room you are occupying while the rest of the house is kept
cooler
They can usually still be used if there is a power failure

Gas logs are not designed to heat an entire house. Ventless are usually
very efficient compared to a furnace, but they have drawbacks, like uneven
distribution. They are not designed for the use you intend.
