Balanced flue gas fire

[finchy01]

Morning all, a new customer has approached me asking for a balanced flue fire as there current fireplace has had the chimney removed. The only problem is there is a garage the other side of the wall. I've installed a few like for like fires but never a Balenced for our fan flue one. Do you know of any fires that I can put 3m approx of horizontal flue with elbows? I would need to come through the wall into the garage then elbow a couple of times to come out of the front of the house at low level and then fit a terminal guard over the terminal. Does such a setup exist? If so any idea of manufacturers or suppliers? Many thanks.

I have never seen a balanced flue installed as you describe.
Can you not use a flueless Gas fire? it's the easiest option by the sound of it. It will require ventilation but no flue obviously.

I wouldn’t fit a flueless gas fire if you paid me a weeks wages. Rubbish idea.

Well a flueless may very well be the only solution. Never seen one installed like that either, usually on an outside wall. Not to say it is not possible but... I doubt it.

Well Sir, it was only a suggestion and possible the only answer he may have.

I appreciate that you dislike the appliances but I do have to point out that they have been around ever since the memory of man are are very efficient. They are also safe if installed correctly.

Can I enquire as to whether you are suggesting that 'my' idea is "Rubbish", or the idea of a flueless Gas fire?

If it was my idea, then I can only respond by telling you that it was a suggestion and a very good one in my opinion.

If it is the 'flueless' Gas fire you dislike with a passion, should we therefore condemn all flueless appliances and refer to them as "Rubbish"? what about Gas ovens, Gas hobs etc.

I look forward to hearing from you with great eagerness lol.

Thanks for the replies. It's as I expected but wanted to call on your wisdom before saying it's not possible (if it is it'll be specialist so most likely very expensive).

Well that escalated quickly? Where in my post did I mention you? I said “I” the reason I do not like them is people never ever get them serviced annually which makes them dangerous.

In my head that reads that I think Flueless gas fires are a rubbish idea. Sorry if it reads differently. No offence intended.

None taken, I found it funny.
You can get fan flue'd Gas fires, or you could do at one point.

I replaced a boiler at a property earlier this year where the home owner were having a fan flued boiler fitted at nearly more than the boiler !!!
