In this video, Are Vent Free Heaters Bad News [MY EXPERIENCE USING A VENT FREE HEATER] I am going to share with you what I have encountered using a vent free heater.

I installed my vent free heater about 6 years ago and pretty much knew right away I had made a bad choice. The first winter wasn't to bad in fact it was tolerable. The second year things changed for the worse.

The odor was so bad you couldn't stand to be in the shop, on top of that my eyes would start burning within a few minutes. I would walk out carrying the odor with me, my clothes would smell of it for hours.

These heaters are supposed to be 99.9 percent efficient and unburnt hydrocarbons should not be and issue however they are. The carbon dioxide being released into the space or building up in the space was more than I could stand and I am sure it could not have been healthy levels.

There is a shut off switch in these heaters to turn them off if the oxygen levels go below 18 percent, however they are no sensors for combustion products such as, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.

In my opinion these vent free heaters are bad news. the soot it created on my walls and ceiling over the six winters is overwhelming. Let the clean up begin.
