Rinnai FC824N Vent-Free Fan Convector Heater, Natural Gas, 24,000 BTU

The Rinnai FC824N is an FC Series vent-free fan convector that runs on natural gas with an input range of 8,400 to 24,000 BTU/h. It is a practical way to add supplemental heat to basements, sunrooms and room additions that the main system struggles to reach.

Because it needs no flue or ductwork, almost none of the heat leaves the room, giving a rated 99.9% efficiency. Ignition is direct electronic, the gas inlet is a 1/2 in. FNPT connection, and onboard self-diagnostics help a technician pinpoint faults quickly. Safety protection stays active at all times: a tilt switch, flame and power failure shutoff, and an oxygen depletion sensor that keeps watching room air. The cabinet stays cool to the touch. Professional installation is recommended, and actual heating area depends on climate and where the unit is placed in the home.
