Performance-wise, both models deliver impressive heating capabilities. With adjustable heat output settings, users can customize the warmth to suit their preferences. The units operate quietly, enhancing the overall comfort of the environment without disruptive fan noise. Additionally, the CDV34NA model runs on natural gas, while the CDV34PA uses propane, providing options based on the homeowner's available gas supply.
