Flueless Gas Fire: A Savior For Our Planet

By Mike P Reader

Large amounts of the natural resources of oil and gas have been exhausted already from the planet Earth by humankind. Therefore, certain measures are being taken to save these resources, and also to protect Earth. For this effort, technology and developments are being made to produce all oil and gas powered gadgets, appliances, cars, and other electronics that can save and protect energy.

Among the various traditional and contemporary heating equipments, flueless gas fire is proving to give optimum heating results while saving energy. The reason being, that these have the ability to fully combust the fuel. Moreover, these require very little or no ventilation at all, thereby trapping all the heat that is produced by the flueless gas fire in the enclosed room.

Heat manages to be released with the exhaust through the chimney, in the old style gas fires requiring extra fuel to retain the room temperature to a required level. However, in a flueless gas fire, the energy is saved and is protected, since it does not require any extra energy to burn and maintain the room temperature.

To heat up a room, the flueless gas fire requires 100% of the fuel whereas the old-fashioned gas fires use around 10% of the fuel. In the modern world, the flueless gas fires have left the traditional gas fires behind, and are considered as an asset, since they save energy, money and protect the Earth.

In a well-ventilated room, the flueless gas heaters have the capability to protect the energy in the room. As the name says, flueless gas heaters work without a chimney or a flue.

Saving energy will not only contribute towards the rapidly depleting energy resources of the world, but it will save us our money as well! Huge increases have been noticed in gas and oil prices during the past decade. An energy crisis in the world is imminent, if the natural energy reserves are used, and are abused in this manner. It is high time that efforts should be made in saving energy instead of wasting ruthlessly. This will also help us in bringing down our gas and electricity bills.

Flueless gas fires may need natural gas or LPG, as their source of energy. It is designed in such a way that it ensures 100% combustion of the fuel. It is fitted with a catalytic converter, which converts carbon monoxide that is produced because of the combustion process, into carbon dioxide, and water vapours. Carbon monoxide is more poisonous in nature, but carbon dioxide is no safer either.

In order to fight the harsh cold weathers, we need to burn gas fires in cold countries, and people rely on them for surviving. The 'Green house Effect' is something to worry about that is an outcome of the carbon dioxide, which is released in the air. It is contributing towards global warming, which happens because we are abusing the consumption of energy by access usage in electronic appliances, air-conditioning, etc. Undoubtedly, the flueless gas fire is a life saving equipment, contributing in saving the energy, protecting the earth, and saving money for us.
