Unvented room heaters are remommended as supplemental heat (a room) rather than a primary heat source (an entire house) .In most supplemental heat application, the water vapor does not create a problem. In most applications, the water vapor enhances the low humidity atmosphere experience during cold weather.
The following steps will help insure that water vapor does not become a problem.
1.Be sure the heater is sized properly for the application, including ample combusion air and circulation air.
2.If high humidity is experienced, a dehumidifier may be used to help lower the water vapor content of the air.
