RV heaters are an entirely different issue. I don't sleep with any heat in my RV unless the window is open. It's just too small and confined to trust anything burning fuel. When overnighting, we heat the place up when awake - and shut the heat down before we go to sleep.

I don't particularly care what one specific brand of heater states in it's own literature. I could cite many more that will back up exactly what I have said - and allow the use in New York according to code. Other states can be different.

I've never lived, nor have I slept in a house that so tight it can't vent itself - although I realize they exist.

My wife's parents have a very tight super-insulated house - and I can't stand being in it without some windows open - heater or no heater.

I am going to assume that most houses are not that tight, nor are most houses new. Our home has one half built in 1820, and the other half I built a few years ago. Our upstairs bedroom windows are open a bit all winter - even when it's 20F below outside - that mainly because the wood furnace keeps the house so warm - especially upstairs.

I will also mention - I don't own any kind of unvented gas fireplace - I don't understand the utility of them. What we have are unvented propane infrared heaters and they work great. No headaches either. We do have on open-flame "Blue Flame" model which I suspect does not burn as clean as the radiant infrared models - but it's still never been an issue and does not require any kind of extra exhaust venting - nor does it need any kind of extra fresh air source in most homes. If a home is loose enough to use a woodstove with no outside air piped in, it will work fine with an unvented propane or gas heater.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point ... [Read Article]
