By Monessen
Part of the expansive Hearth & Home Technologies family of brands, Monessen specializes in vent-free gas fireplaces, making them one of the industry leaders in that category.

Please note that vent-free fireplaces are restricted by some regulations, so be sure to check your local codes before purchasing.
Their Solstice vent-free gas insert is a case study in why Monessen is one of our favorite brands. It comes with a highly realistic log set, allowing it to capture the appeal of a traditional hearth, and it boasts a 99.9% efficiency rating, saving you money on your energy bill.
