Propane Heaters: Glo Warm Ventless Heater Product Review

Glo Warm Propane Heaters offer a safe and economical alternative for heating your home. These convenient heaters are vent free, easy to install, and require very little space. They can be turned on for a few minutes to warm up a cool area of your home, or set on low to provide a steady source of heat.

Unlike a kerosene space heater, the Glo Warm Propane Heater is designed to be run in the home without the need to be vented, but it does need adequate air circulation to operate and prevent the build up of Carbon Monoxide.

The heater should not be installed in a confined space such as a bed room or bathroom without additional ventilation. Heaters installed in open areas that gain air circulation from other rooms, unless your home is especially small or airtight, receive enough fresh air to operate safely.

The pilot light is equipped with an oxygen depletion sensing device that automatically shuts off the heater if there is not enough oxygen for safe operation. Purchasing a carbon monoxide meter for your home will also alert you should carbon monoxide build up occur.

The Glo Warm propane heater is designed as a secondary source of heat and should not be used as the primary source. In the event of an electrical outage the heater may be used as a primary source of heat for a short time.

The heater does require professional installation. It must be connected to a 100 pound (or larger) tank of propane from the outside, requires a regulator on the tank, and must include an inside shut off valve to the heater. Check with local ordinances for regulations regarding the type of line you must use. Some areas allow copper tubing that has been designed for propane use.

Glo Warm Heaters must be installed in an area free of combustible materials and away from curtains. The surface of the heater gets hot and may ignite wood or other wall surfaces. Follow the manufacturer's directions carefully.
