Hi Ladies
I have an inset gas fire at present and love it, but I am looking to move and all the properties
Iv'e seen don't have a fireplace. :(
What I'd like to know is does anyone have a wall hung gas fire (no flue or chimney) or an electric fire ?
Could you give your views on either please, I'm trying to find the best option for me.
I can't stand the cold so it important I get it right. ::)

Don't think you can use a wall hung gas fire without at least a flue. Many years ago when buying our first flat, builder had to put in a flue for our wall mounted gas fire. Fumes need an escape route.

I've stayed in rental properties with both electric and the flue-less gas fires. I would go for the gas ones everytime. Very quick to heat the room and I am sure they are more economical too.
CG - they are quite expensive but they are common nowadays.

Ah things have obviously moved on. ;D Haven't had gas fire for years, just central heating. But would agree, gas is better even though my thoughts are based on ancient findings. ;D ;D

In our last house we had a gas fire with a balanced flue for an enclosed valour gas fire, it had black coal effect with flame - was nice to look at and very warm. We are in a new build house without a fire now but the central heating is far superior to our old house and we don't need a fire.
