37Chief: It depends greatly on how tight the house is. If it is a newer one with few air leaks then I would not use a vent free for long term heat. If it is an older house that is not sealed the best then a vent free is OK to use. I have one in my house we used for the main heat for years until I put it a outside corn fired boiler. One thing I like about the non vented heater is that they put water in the air as they burn. It made the heat warmer and kept your hands from cracking so much.
I still use it in the early fall and late winter when you just need some heat at night. The one I have also does not use any electric so it makes a great back up heater when the electric fails.
Two things to conceder when getting a heater. 1) I don't like the Infrared heaters. The one I have is a flame heater, Desa International 30,000 btu. 2) The better ones have a low oxygen shut off but I still would get the combination CO2/fire alarm, it just adds a safety factor.
It seem the vented heaters are more like a small furnace that requires electric. They are higher priced but seem to be a heavier heater. I am not sure you need that as mine is over fifteen years old and still working fine.
Here is a vented one that the vent goes directly out the back. It is a Williams Chamberlain Direct Vent Gas Wall Furnace $632.00
