No need for a flue or chimney

Contrary to gas fires and wood burners, electric stove fires don't require an installation of chimneys. Electric stove fires can be placed on the wall or in an existing fireplace which is no longer in use. They are operated by plugging them into a socket. This makes them a great choice for homes without an existing chimney, or those who are looking for a cost effective way to heat their home that doesn't require the maintenance and wood chopping that traditional fireplaces need.

When you light a wood-burning fire in an open fireplace, combustion by-products such as creosote may build up and damage the chimney's interior. Over time, this can cause the bricks and mortar to corrode, causing cracks in the chimney's walls. This can lead to smoke leaks into your home or neighboring rooms. To prevent this, it is important to line your chimney with a top-quality flue liner. It can be installed by an expert and is crucial to maintain the security of your fireplace.

Another alternative for those looking to have an authentic log fire in their home, but don't have a chimney is a gas-fired stove. These clever fires are equipped with a catalytic convertor which transforms harmful gases into harmless ones. They only require an energy source of gas.

A twin wall flue system can be installed to accommodate an electric stove that burns wood without the need for chimney. This consists of stainless steel pipes which can be run either both ways, either externally or internally, and will carry the fumes from your stove away for venting into the air outside. These systems are fairly inexpensive, but they require installation and must be kept 425mm from any flammable substance.
