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.  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.

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.
