Electric fires are more cost-effective than gas stoves that require an installation of a chimney and is installed by an experienced professional. There is no need for a chimney or chimney Electric stove fires do not require an installation of a chimney, unlike gas fires or wood burners. Electric stove fires can be placed on the wall or within an existing fireplace that is no longer used. They are operated by plugging them into a socket. They are a great option for homes without chimneys or for those who wish to keep their home warm without the burden of maintaining and chopping wood. When you burn wood in an open fire and the combustion by-products, such as creosote, may build up within the chimney.

To prevent this issue, it is essential to line your chimney with a high-quality flue liner. This can be done by professionals and is vital to maintain the security of your fireplace. Gas flueless stoves are another option for those who want an authentic log fireplace in their home, but do not have a chimney. These clever fires have an inbuilt catalytic converter to transform harmful gases into harmless ones and only need an electricity source to operate. A twin wall flue system can be used to fit the wood burning stove without the need for a chimney. The stainless steel pipes can be installed either externally or internally and are used to exhaust the stove fumes into the air. These systems are fairly inexpensive however, you'll need to pay for labor to set them up and they must be kept at a minimum of 425mm from any flammable materials.
