There are over 40 million Flueless Gas Fires currently in use in Japan and over 20 million in the USA, Britain is catching on how useful these fires can be and the Hotprice guide is here to answer any questions you may have regarding safety, installation or design.

Burley Appliances introduced fixed flueless gas fires to Britain in 1999 and through product innovation, design, production and extensive testing, have gained a wealth of experience and documented facts. Fixed flueless gas fires give a combination of convenience, efficiency and safety which flued appliances can never come close to matching. We have entered an era of spiralling gas prices, gas shortages and potentially cataclysmic global warming. It is short sighted to continue wasting energy at such a rate when there is an alternative product which is superior to flued fires in many ways. Some people are unaware that flueless fires are available, some cannot understand how a fire without a chimney can perform so much better than a fire with a chimney and a few have been misled by myths. The purpose of this article is to provide the trade with the facts and dispel the myths to allow people to make an educated decision.

Flueless gas fires incorporate the very latest in gas fire technology using a catalytic converter which the product of combustion gasses pass through converting all harmfull gases into carbon dioxide and water vapour. The result is a gas fire appliance which is 100% efficienct with no heat being lost up a chimney or flue.

Flueless gas fires can give this exceptional level of safety because they have to be designed to burn incredibly cleanly even in the worst possible scenarios and do not have a chimney to rely on to remove the combusted gasses. Chimneys and flues are fallible and can get blocked by a bird’s nest, a collapse of masonry or poor installation. With a flueless fire this can never happen.

Flueless gas fires are very popular due to their low fitting costs. A flueless gas fire can literally be fitted in minutes rather than several hours. It is an extremely simple and problem free operation provided the CORGI or Gas Safe registered fitter follows the installation instructions. If it is to go in an open chimney, then the flue must be blocked and the fire just needs connecting and testing, and a 100cm2 air vent is required in the room where the flueless gas fire is installed. The vent is primarily to maintain the correct level of oxygen in the room. With all flueless gas fires there is a minimum room size required depending on the model of gas fire you choose.

A popular myth that Hotprice often gets asked is “will my house be affected by condensation”? This is not the case. Most fires, including flueless gas fires, should be used as a secondary source of heat, supplementing your central heating. The background temperature prevents most of the moisture from condensing and allows it to be dispersed via normal air movement. You may have some condensation on colder surfaces such as single glazed windows. On high the Environ flueless gas fire emits approximately 0.25 litres of water vapour per hour.

There are a large number of flueless gas fires designs available. Hotprice.co.uk offer the full Burley fires range including the Environ inset flueless gas fire that is designed to be installed within a fireplace. Image and Acumen models which offer a more contemporary look as they are wall mounted designs.
