I'm looking to replace this fire with a high efficiency gas fire. We believe there's a brick fireplace behind the drywall. The house is a dormer which has had a first floor added so there is a class 2 flue surrounded by brick at ground floor level. Then enclosed in drywall on the first floor, then unenclosed in the attic crawl space. The fireplace shop have said a glass fronted model is not appropriate (this is without visiting just based on these pics). They suggested another open fronted fire but i want max efficiency. Should I give up on the idea of a high efficiency fire or is there some hope? What is the most economical option for my set up please?
Inset fire. Drywall and presumed brick behind.
