Which Electric fire or Gas fire is right for your home?

At Fires2u.com we have an extensive range of fires and fireplaces for our customers to choose from. Your choice will obviously depend on your individual needs such as where you want to position your fire and if you have a chimney or flue. To make this choice a little easier we have highlighted the main types of products that we sell and also the chimney/flue types that can be found in many homes-

ELECTRIC APPLIANCES

Electric Fireplaces

These stylish electric fireplaces come complete with the electric fire as an all in one solution. With no need for a chimney or flue these fireplaces can be positioned in many different room types and are available in different sizes and styles to suit your home.

Wall Mounted Electric Fires

Simply hang on the wall, plug in and then one of our wall mounted electric fires spring into life. With 100% efficient heat and stunning flame effects our electric fires are supplied with either manual and/or remote controls a choice of fascias to suit your internal decoration and a fixing kit for easy installation.

Inset and Hole in the Wall Electric Fires

An ‘inset’ or ‘hole in the wall’ type of fire will normally require a recess to house the engine of the electric fire – this might either be a conventional chimney breast or alternatively a purpose built false chimney breast (the ‘inset depth’ dimensions of all our products can be located when clicking on the information page of our products and then clicking on the dimension tab). Some inset electric fires either come with a spacer kit or can be purchased with one for additional cost which then allows the fire to be fitted freestanding against a flat wall.

Electric Stoves

Electric stoves are freestanding appliances that come with an approx 1 metre of cable with a UK 3 pin socket and can then be simply plugged in.

TYPES OF FLUE OR CHIMNEY

Below is a simple explanation of the various types of flues which will help you make an informed decision on which gas fire maybe right for you and your home needs:

Brick built chimneys

Brick built chimneys can be identified by a brick built chimney stack and by chimney pots. Brick built chimneys give you the widest choice of fires and can accommodate gas fires with full depth fire chambers as well as most inset electric fires*

Pre-fabricated flues

These can be identified by an external metal flue pipe or cowl on the roof and may have a false chimney breast in the room to conceal the metal flue in the home. Pre-fabricated flues can accommodate some slimline gas fires and also some inset electric fires*

Pre-cast flues

Check for a ridge tile vent or a metal flue pipe with cowl. Pre-cast flues are built into cavity walls and can accommodate some slimline gas fires and some inset electric fires*

No chimney or flue

If you can’t see a chimney or Flue as described above then you may require a Balanced Flue or 

Powerflue* gas fire -

Powerflue

Powerflue gas fires use an electronically driven fan unit mounted on the external wall to expel the flue gasses directly outside the building. All the powerflue gas fires we sell our open fronted fires.

Balanced Flue

Balanced Flue fires use a horizontal pipe to vent directly outside. An electricity supply is not required and all Balanced Flue gas fires are glass fronted.

DRU Balanced flue Gas Wall heaters now at Fires2u!

Fires2u are very proud to introduce the complete DRU Balanced Flue Wall heaters to their range which starts from £425 and include several models –

The DRU Art and Horizon balanced flue gas wall heaters have been the most popular form of church heating in the UK since the 1950s. They also have many other commercial and domestic applications. There are nine models with heat outputs from 2.4 to 11.1 kw. They are compatible with natural gas or LPG, require no electrical supply and can be installed on their own or centrally time controlled. DRU Art and Horizon gas wall heaters are balanced flue appliances. This is a system that was developed by DRU in the 1930s and is the basis for a large number of gas heating appliances today. They draw air from outside the building for combustion using a flue with natural convection. A separate compartment of the same flue expels waste gases to the outside. The result of this is safe, quiet and efficient heating for commercial and domestic applications. Because the Oxygen is not being depleted inside the building, the heating is comfortable for church congregations, school pupils, office workers or people at home. The DRU Art and Horizon balanced flue gas wall heaters have an efficency rating of 78%. This is exceptionally good for any commercial heating appliance. It means that, with correct care and maintenance, the heaters will deliver economical church or school heating, with lower fuel bills and lower carbon emissions, making them safe for the environment.



The DRU Art balanced flue gas wallheaters are compatible with either natural gas or LPG. This means that they can be installed in almost any location, however remote that may be. They can be found in rural churches, village halls, military barracks, government establishments, agricultural premises and zoos. Another major benefit of DRU Art series heaters is that they require no electrical supply. They use a battery powered piezo electric ignition. Again, this makes them suitable for church and school heating in remote locations or temporary buildings. They can be used anywhere that there is limited or no electrical supply.

DRU Art and Horizon series commercial heaters are attractive in appearance, with beige coloured outer cases that are unobtrusive and tasteful in any commercial or domestic heating environment. Art series have standard size cases, while DRU Horizon balanced flue wallheater range has lower profile so they can be located under tall windows or in low wall spaces.





Style Series gas wall heaters have the same balanced flue technology as Art Series, but with a more contemporary, alu-metallic front cover design. These heaters are a natural choice for offices, studios, apartments, home extensions and conservatories. Just like the Art Series, they are compatible with natural gas and LPG and have a range of heat outputs from 3 – 5.4 kW. DRU Style series gas wall heaters are balanced flue appliances. The Style wall heaters also have an efficiency rating of 78%. As DRU Style series gas wall heaters are compatible with either natural gas or LPG, this means that they can be installed in almost any location, however remote that may be. They can be found in rural homes, village halls, military barracks, government establishments, agricultural premises and zoos.

Another major benefit of DRU Style series heaters is that they require no electrical supply. They use a battery powered piezo electric ignition. Again, this makes them suitable for school heating and office heating in remote locations or temporary buildings. They can be used anywhere that there is limited or no electrical supply. The Style 31 model, like the Horizon has a lower profile that can be located in smaller spaces, such as portable classrooms or conservatories.
