The state law does state that vent-free gas products may be sold and installed under regulations written by the building department - as yet, however, no regulations have been written. We've been waiting 7 years for the building department to get their regulations finalised, as of August 2009, we're still waiting. |

Permitted throughout state - FINALLY - The Governor of Massachusetts signed a new law into effect on March 8 2002 that allowed for the sale and installation of vent-free gas products "as soon as the fire protection bureau wrote the regulations".
At last, on June 2009, we finally got the all clear for all of Mr Heater's Vent free products - except the Buddy Wall Mount which is a temporary heat source and is typically installed using flexible piping (the fire code requires permanently piped heaters). |
