Vent free gas fireplaces are a great option for large spaces, such as bedrooms, great rooms and basements. They're easy to install, since they don't require vents, and don't require any special venting or installation, making it an energy efficient option. They also don't require a chimney, and vent free fireplaces give off less smell than vented fireplaces, making them a great option for homes with pets or allergies.

Vent free gas fireplaces come in various styles and sizes. They come in several configurations, including wall-mounted, freestanding, and corner. Our testing lab reviews gas fireplaces for performance, energy efficiency (a key feature since these fireplaces do not vent out) and ease of use. We evaluate how efficiently they convert energy to heat, as well as how quiet they are and how easy they are to clean. We also score the ease of installation, especially how quick and easy it is to vent these fireplaces. Here are the top vent free gas fireplaces of 2022, according to our tests:
