gas fires
Considering the winters we have been enduring over the last couple of years and the increase in energy prices it is just as well there has been a sea change in the heat output and efficiency of Gas Fires.
There are now open fronted living flame convector Gas fires that are 77% efficient and Glass fronted living flame Gas fires at 88% efficiency, Plus inset balanced flue gas fires at 90% efficient.
We also have a 50% efficient gas fire for those that do not use there fires a lot.
With an open fronted Gas fire at 77% efficiency, this means only 23% of the heat from the Gas you burn is going up the chimney and the other 77% is being convected into your room. This is a huge increase from previous generations of Gas Fires.
With Glass fronted Gas Fires 88% of the heat is convected/radiated into the room with only 12% being lost up the chimney.
Another advantage with a Glass fronted Gas Fire is that when the Fire is not being used you are losing no heat up the chimney from the heat of your central heating in your room.
A balanced flue gas fire is for when you don’t have a chimney but want a gas fire. It is glass fronted and needs to be on an outside wall and comes with its own flue that goes either straight out the back of the fire or up and out if your wall is suitable.
All these models come in Mains Gas or Bottled Gas
As well as fires inset into your fireplace, we also do Hole-in-the wall Gas fires.
We have Gas fires to replace your existing gas fire if it is no longer working or you can go with a complete new fireplace look with many sizes of gas fires to create a stunning Visual Gas Fireplace
There are 4 ways of lighting a Gas fire – all vary in price
Manual – This is where you get down on your hands and knees, remove the Frett and push and click to ignite. This is how most of the older generation of Gas fires were lit.
Slide control – This is a lever on the side which does the same as a manual but on the side of the fire.
The New Flame 3 button – This is a game changer and is a battery-operated system. It has 3 buttons – one to press to ignite and turn off the fire and the other 2 to turn it up or down. With this system when the fire is off the gas is completely off. There is no pilot light left on. The main button, turns the gas on, lights the pilot light at the bottom of the fire and when ignites it.
Remote control –Most are full sequential and operate similar to the 3 button but from the comfort of your armchair.
