Insert stove that fits in small fireplace

jobarcelo

Hi everyone. I'm near Mallow (North Cork) and I'm looking for an insert stove (and installation) that would fit in my, apparently, very small fireplace. See pictures below with sizes. I don't want to increase the size of the chimney breast so, if there's no alternative, I would like to permanently close off the fireplace and flue to increase the house energy efficiency. Recommendations of a local person capable of doing this correctly (I don't want problems with damp down the line). TIA

Have a look at Heat Design inset stoves. Their San Remo stove might fit. I have a HD Vitae and am pleased with it, so the quality should be OK.

I'm down in West Cork and got mine from https://www.thewoodburningcentre.com/ and they installed it for me. Drimoleague may be just within their delivery /installation range. Worth a call anyway.

remove the fire brick in the back of fireplace and any insert will fit
