Everything you should know before buying a DRU wall heater

Looking for a home heating appliance, but struggling for space? Industry giant DRU has the answer.

Drawing on over 270 years of manufacturing expertise, the Dutch brand has developed a collection of wall-hung heaters (specifically the classic Art and Style balanced-flue appliances) designed to deliver exceptional warmth with a space-conscious footprint.

Right now, Fires2U customers can purchase their own high-performance fireplace for prices you won’t find anywhere else.

What is a gas wall heater?

Gas wall heaters are wall-mounted units that operate using either natural gas or LPG (liquefied petroleum gas).

These units are fixed directly to an external wall, making them excellent for homes that don’t have the space for traditional stoves or fireplaces. Searching for your own? At Fires2U, we’re proud to stock appliances from the DRU Art series.

These fires use advanced balanced-flue technology, a closed-combustion system that draws fresh air from outside while expelling waste gases through a wall terminal. It’s because of this that you don’t need a conventional chimney.

So, if your top priority is straightforward installation, they’re great in living rooms, conservatories, extensions, and even commercial premises.

The main benefits of DRU wall heaters

But the benefits of a DRU wall heater don’t end there. Industry leaders recommend the DRU Art range because:

1. Off-grid reliability

Do you live on a rural property? If you’re procuring heaters for portable buildings or locations with limited infrastructure, it’s cases like these that a DRU wall heater becomes invaluable.

Many DRU Art and Style wall heaters can run on either natural gas or LPG, which means they don’t need a mains electrical connection. Their piezo spark ignition provides dependable warmth for homes, even during a power cut!

2. Space-saving design

DRU wall heater benefits don’t stop there.

Their unobtrusive, compact wall-hung profile frees up valuable floor space in homes with tight footprints. Use them in smaller rooms, home offices, and narrow hallways where a traditional radiator or floor-standing heater would simply be too bulky.

3. Exceptional efficiency

Depending on the model, DRU heaters boast energy efficiency ratings of up to 88%.

The majority of the gas you use is converted directly into useful heat for your room, and it’s this kind of high-efficiency performance that keeps your daily running costs incredibly low compared to less advanced heating systems.

4. Complete control

Each model in the DRU collection is delivered with a built-in thermostat as standard. Combined with piezo spark ignition, you can enjoy consistent, comfortable heat throughout the day without constantly adjusting the appliance manually.
