Our two existing gas fires fitted in conventional flues are subject to downdrafts that have not been cured with the fitting of a rotating cowl. We could try to solve the downdraft by building up the chimney stacks, but this is expensive and may not work. I’m therefore considering fitting a traditional look flueless gas fires. These don’t look terribly good, but they appear to be very efficient and not too expensive. Are there other drawbacks or alternatives?
They are actually called ventless gas stores or insert or furences but ventless is the main word….I have one in my house and I use it rather then the electric heat and it is great…The one thing it to make sure that they are cleaned and maintained…Most gas companies that supply the fuel offer this survice for a low fee and it is well worth it
