unvented
A gas heater is a space heater used to heat a room or outdoor area by burning natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, propane or butane.
Indoor household gas heaters can be broadly categorized in one of two ways: flued or non-flued, or vented and unvented.

Two different brands of Unvented Cylinder have been recommended to me.
I have never heard of either of them, nor can I find reviews of them.
