"Can you install it today?"  Chimneys, Propane DV's, wood stoves.
And the phones ... if only we had stocked in portable propane
heaters, cookers, power inverters, even generators, we could have
helped a lot of people.
Fortunately our store still has power, an island in a major blackout.
Highways are closed, electric poles snapped, a major emergency.
Montreal, too, and most of Western Quebec is blacked out too.

I guess weve been lucky in ontario no vent free prouducts, I'm glad I don't
have to ask my customers if there are allergeys in the family. I would not
have a vent free any thing in my house how could I sell one to someone else.
But as you might know most of the equipment is made in the U.S.A and these
people want universal standards.
Enter big box now we have home depo stores serve yourself install yourself
who cares. Soon we will have vent free. Of course we have gas inspecters but
this does'nt stop or protect the dumb untill it's to late.

I've never considered installing a vent free, because I'm at 7000 feet
above sea level, they don't work here ( the ODS turns the unit off ). By
welding the shutters the manufacturers have insured that these appliances
should not be used at high elevation. $.02 please.
