Direct Vent vs Ventless

12/12/2001 04:31 PM TM83

I would like an expert opinion on which product to use for my application. I am looking for a heating source for the office / bathroom / utility room area in my farm shop. The 3 rooms are connected together (door from one to the others-generally open) and the total area covered is 10'x30'. The ceiling height is 8' and the walls are R-19 or better. The large area of the shop is generally not heated and the office area is of a very "tight" construction. I am on an LP system. I am not in this building that much but need a way to keep the pipes from freezing and to provide adequate heat during the days when I am out there. I am in the Omaha, NE area and we do see our share of the cold.

My concerns are that there will be a lack of fresh air in this small, tightly enclosed area and that the moisture given off by a ventless system would be a problem. Are these concerns justified and would I be better off with a direct vent system. The fact that no electricity is needed is great since it's one less thing to worry about if the power fails. What size unit would I need for this application?

Thanks!
