Vent Free Gas Wall Heaters
Hi,
In one of my rental property, current heat source is steam boiler. Steam boiler developed hole in boiler and I have to replace it with new system. Apartment is Duplex having two floor. On Ground Floor Kitchen/Living room. On Second floor two bedroom and bathroom.
Can I run gas pipe on first floor and install Vent Free Gas Wall Heater in each room ? Infrared is any good. Can someone please provide more details on using wall unit for whole apartment make any sense or not ? It seems cheaper and better option since units are not that expensive and it can be controlled by room.

If you are the landlord then you must provide safe heat. A non vented heater like that vents all the burned gases inside the apartment. That is something you cannot have. You could use vented units. They would cost a little more, need to be vented thru the wall but would be 100% safe in use.

What are your plans going forward? Vented gas heaters or replacement of the boiler?
Ventless appliances have been made illegal in many areas due to adverse effects to the building and occupants.

After opinon from PJmax, I do not think I should use ventless in Rental. I was unaware actual use of it. I thought it can be used permanently but does not seem like. I would rather get installed hot air system or hydraunic system in basement which is vented in chimney.
