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 appliance has not been serviced and has stopped working! There are lots of self-maintenance things you can do to keep your appliance working in between servicing, simply one is to replace the ignition batteries. Please refer to our gas fire check list we provide with every sale for up to date advise.
The majority of modern gas fires are designed as a back-up to central heating. If you are looking for a fire specifically as a heat source, please contact us so we can advise on which fires will be more suitable.
