Vent size and location for a burley acumen flueless gas fire.

You probably could but hardly wise in my opinion. Propane has more carbon content and would produce more carbon monoxide and have a greater potential for being dangerous if the converter failed, though flueless heaters should be used only when the room is a good size and has at least the minimum required ventilation and if the heater is serviced regularly the danger would be minimised...

I strongly suggest you contact the manufacturer or a dealer about your question but if I was faced with the choice, if there was an external wall to the room requiring heat, I would consider a balanced flue heating appliance.

There are gas-fired ventless or flueless fires available around which there is a debate rumbling.

Flueless fires are not intended to be used for extended periods and the space where they are used should be suitably large and well ventilated, certainly no one should be sleeping in a room where such a fire is sited.
Excessive condensation in the room or even in the house is one common complaint.

Some are considered safe because they are fitted with a catalytic converter that converts dangerous carbon monoxide into harmless carbon dioxide for as long as the cat keeps working

Those that are not fitted with a cat

No solution but we have had the same problem from first installation of the stove. Burley less than helpful, now preparing to go via Trading Standards/small claims route.Expensive fire, poor after sales and quality.

Take the vent tubing off and inspect for heavy buildup of lint. There is a moister sensor that detects a clogged vent and shuts off the heat automaticlly. If the vent tubes are clean the sensor needs to be replaced .

Older fires have an exhaust flue and get their air supply from the well ventilated room in which they're fitted. Balanced flue fires are the correct choice for rooms which lack sufficient fresh air ventilation. They have a flue which draws in outside air necessary for combustion whilst also acting as an exhaust for the combustion products. To work the appliance must be completely sealed so that no air is drawn from the room; the pressure of the incoming air and the pressure of the outgoing exhaust is equal so the flue is described as balanced.

The lack of a requirement for fresh air ventilation means that less energy is used; open outside vents let heat out as whilst allowing fresh air to enter.

Balanced flue appliances which exit directly through an exterior wall should cost very little more to fit than a regular appliance: the only additional cost may be in blocking up the old flue outlet and creating a new one but this rarely takes more than half an hour. A sealing collar is fitted to the outside of the flue (included in the flue kit) so there may be additional costs in hiring a ladder (or even erecting scaffolding) if you're higher than the ground floor.

Budget-level balanced flue fires typically cost between £350-£500 and the fitting charge may be fair depending upon your property, but it's also worryingly vague. A properly qualified and experienced gas fitter should be able to give you a precise quote and will already possess all of the tools needed to fit a new flue.

Also, ensure that you have your landlord's written permission to fit the new fire. If you don't then the landlord can claim that you have damaged the property and demand that you restore the property to original condition when you leave. If you get permission then you can also expect your landlord to insist that when you leave the property you do not take the new fire with you and that you supply an original copy of the gas fitter's installation certificate. Without this the landlord is within his/her rights to commission a safety inspection at your expense. Note that subsequent annual gas safety checks are required to be carried out by the landlord at his/her expense as per normal.

Replace the temperature slecting switch.
