Gas room heaters installed in hallways in homes for the elderly should be what type?

  1. Non-vented type

  2. Vented type

  3. Electric type

  4. Portable type

The correct answer is: Vented type

Vented types are the best choice for gas room heaters installed in hallways in homes for the elderly. This is because they must meet safety standards and regulations to ensure that they are properly installed and safe to use. Non-vented types may produce harmful byproducts that can be dangerous for elderly individuals with respiratory issues. Electric types may not provide enough heat and may be difficult to control for elderly individuals. Portable types may pose a tripping hazard in hallways and can be easily moved by seniors, leading to potential accidents.
