Can Ventless Fireplaces Be Installed Legally?
Depending on where you live you may or may not be able to install a ventless gas fireplace. In addition, the places that do allow ventless installations will have several restrictions on their installation including the size of room and type of room as well as airflow requirements.
Canada
Indoor ventless gas fireplaces cannot be sold in Canada. They can be sold and installed outdoors as fire features or outdoor fireplaces in areas with adequate air circulation.
United States
Most states in the US will allow the installation of ventless fireplaces. There are several states and local counties/cities that have banned the sale and installation of indoor ventless fireplaces including California and Massachusetts. For more accurate information about the legality of indoor ventless fireplaces consult your local government or talk to your local authorized fireplace dealer.

The National Building Code requires a ventless fireplace to be placed in rooms with a certain square footage and are restricted from being placed in bathrooms and bedrooms. In addition, the building code requires a fresh air source to be within a certain distance of the fireplace. Consult local experts to get specific policies in your area.

Family #escape Plan Tips:
