By including a variable speed fan you can control the flow and circulation of heat from the gas fireplace into the room and home.<\/p>\n<p>Another area you want to consider carefully when buying a direct vent gas fireplace is how you\u2019d like to turn it on and off.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>ON\/OFF direct vent gas fireplace options include a simple wall switch near the gas fireplace itself, a handheld remote control unit, or via a local wall thermostat. Remote controls typically include the ability to adjust the thermostat, fan speed and flame height.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\">One of the most important direct vent gas fireplace options to consider is the type of ignition system to ignite the gas.<\/p>\n<p>Some gas fireplace options include a continuously burning safety pilot light. With these types of safety pilot lights, in the event the pilot light goes out the built in safety system shuts off gas to the direct vent gas fireplace within a fraction of a second.<\/p>\n<p>Other direct vent gas fireplace models have an electric spark ignition system to reduce fuel expenditure. There are also some models that use a piezoelectric ignition for situations where there isn\u2019t an electrical hookup near the fireplace.<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"49%\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B009LNV69G\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B009LNV69G&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;linkId=b9f60b2042b3c72911c85b5b3aede4b0\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ASIN=B009LNV69G&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;WS=1&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;l=am2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B009LNV69G\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>What\u2019s particularly beneficial with the piezoelectric ignition systems is that they do not require electrical power to operate.
