If there is a gas furnace in that same room, YES, you will have to leave them in.

Some buildings are built with a fresh air return to allow this makeup air to travel into the room. Otherwise the louvered door or extremely large gap between the door and floor is practiced.

Since the gas heater needed air for exhaust venting and the electric heater does not, I would say a solid door should be fine as long as that would not block/stop the air needed by the furnace for its own exhaust venting.

No gas

We have no gas any more it is turned off outside and everything is now total electric. What venting are you talking about in electric

venting

Electric appliances, other than most cooktops, do not need venting.
