Flueless Fires & Fireplaces
Ultra-Efficient Flueless Gas Fires
Flueless gas fires are an excellent choice if you don't have a work chimney breast or flue system. These fires can be wall-mounted or freestanding anywhere in the room near a gas supply and are compatible with either natural gas or LPG bottled gas.
The benefit of having a flueless gas fire is that they have a 100% efficiency rating and have lower installation and running costs than regular gas fires, with the added advantage that all the heat produced goes towards heating the room rather than being lost up a chimney.
Great brands of flueless gas fires include Burley, Ekofires and Esse who are market leading and produce the best quality products money can buy.
