Just make sure you get your ventilation sorted out as part of fitting.
I've no idea what the requirements are where you live but as a general rule, allow enough fresh air in to equate that burnt.
Part J in UK building regs or your equivalent. Messing this up is very dangerous.

well, we don't do it ourselves, and I guess that the company providing these kind of heating does know the rules and how to do it properly. There are quite a few victorian homes in this district of Hobart, I will most likely ring at some of them and ask them about what kind of heating they are using and what they did with their fireplaces - Tasmanians are very friendly and open for a chat, I guess that will be a lovely time chatting with a nice cup of tea - maybe even a good way getting to know the further away neighbors as well.

Sound advice. Think we had to have extra vent fitted, one in the floor (we have a cellar), and one on the outside wall. Makes you wonder how the victorians managed to breathe when they had both fires working

their chimneys were quite poorly done as well, hence the many fires associated with fireplaces in the victorian era.

My father when he was around used to take me to his friends who was "restoring" a victorian era house. He added an extension to it and the entire kitchen was wood panelling. It looked like the inside of a B&Q shed.

This was the same bloke who dropped a piano while trying to winch it up from the outside destroying the entire thing and boarded up fireplaces.

My parents kitchen is all wood panelling, I always thought they should have a plunge pool next to it
