- sokoloff 6y agoVented gas heating is fine. We use it and combustion gases (which do have a lot of water vapor in then) are vented outside via a chimney in our case but powered venting in other cases. (In our case, we take in outside air throughout the building but the humidity in the outside air in winter is low anyway. It is also possible to directly supply outside air for combustion and this is the most common arrangement for new installation [for temperature efficiency rather than humidity reasons].) Unvented gas heating (think a construction "torpedo heater" or a camp stove) does dump a lot of humidity into the space of course.
