Ease of use and very little maintenance are key factors over a gas fire option.

More and more homes today are well insulated with modern central heating systems and double glazing resulting in the fact that the need for the extra heat from a gas fire is no longer needed. Electric fires provide a boost of heat and top u the heat in the home which is often sufficient for most homes.

The easy rule is that if you very rarely use your gas fire then an electric fire is the right choice option for you.
