All gas appliances should be serviced annually. Some require a part to be replaced annually to extend your warranty. This service must be undertaken by a GasSafe (Great Britain) registered engineer. Gas fires are not maintenance free appliances and most calls we receive are when…
The running costs of a gas fire can be calculated quite simply using the following calculation: Running Cost = Energy Input (gross KW) x Your Gas Bill Tariff per KW. This gives you the cost.
All gas fires are fitted with an oxygen depletion sensor (ODS), and all fires have a flame failure device (FFD) for complete safety and peace of mind.
We don’t buy products from any third party only from the manufacturers themselves and all our products come with the manufactures full warranty. Some offer extended warranties subject to the appliance being registered with the manufacturer at the time of installation. Failure to do so…
No, in most cases as long as the chimney is sound and not leaking gas fumes you will not need a liner installed. Your gas safe installer will assess the condition of your flue prior to installation of your new appliance.
All modern gas fires we sell are fitted with these safety features. They monitor the oxygen level in the room and shut off the gas to the fire in the event of oxygen levels falling from say a flue becoming blocked or inadequate ventilation.
Certainly not! Similar to a car, they need a service, usually annually. Dirt particles down the gas line, household dust and pet hairs can easily block the pilots stopping the appliance to light. Soot and dirt forming over the coals can drop on the pilot…
Yes, the build up of soot, dust and small burn particles and with the formation of condensation on the inside of the glass when the appliance is turned on can leave dirty black run marks and cloudy stains on the glass surface. (a cubic metre…
All gas fires give off radiant heat, the heat moves outwards from the appliance and the closer to the appliance you are the warmer it feels. Convector gas fires have a heat exchanger type box and work by drawing cooler air from the room at…
A general rule of thumb is to simply divide the maximum heat output by the maximum gas input and x by 100 to give you the % efficiency. Its worth noting that glass fronted fires can show a much higher figure this is due to…
