Explore Our Gas Heating Range

Our range is designed to cater to every chimney type and interior style. You can navigate our collection by format:

• Inset Gas Fires: The classic choice for traditional fireplaces. These units sit within the wall or surround, providing a seamless look that saves floor space.
• Freestanding Gas Stoves: Combining the iconic "log burner" aesthetic with gas efficiency. These are perfect for installation into a recessed chamber or as a standalone feature.
• Balanced Flue Gas Fires: The ideal solution for modern homes without a chimney. These use a twin-wall pipe to vent directly through an external wall.

Why Choose Gas Fires for Your Home?

Instant Heat Control
One of the greatest advantages of gas is the immediacy. There is no waiting for the kindling to catch; you get full heat output and a beautiful flame pattern instantly. Most of our models feature advanced Remote Control systems, allowing you to ignite the fire and adjust the temperature without leaving your sofa.

Highly Realistic Aesthetics
Modern gas technology has mastered the "real fire" look. Our stoves and fires feature hand-painted ceramic log sets and glowing coal beds that mimic the organic movement of a wood fire so closely, your guests won't know the difference.

Efficiency & Economy
Gas is traditionally one of the most cost-effective fuels for heating a single room. By using a high-efficiency gas fire to "zone heat" your main living area, you can turn down your central heating and reduce your overall energy consumption.

Frequently Asked Questions Gas Fires

Do I need a chimney for a gas fire?
While many traditional gas fires require a standard chimney (Class 1 or Class 2), you don't necessarily need one. If your home doesn't have a chimney, you can opt for a Balanced Flue or a Flueless Gas Fire. These use alternative ventilation methods to ensure safety and performance.

Who can install my gas fire?
In the UK, it is a legal requirement that all gas appliances are installed and commissioned by a Gas Safe Registered engineer. This ensures the ventilation is correct and there are no leaks. We recommend having your fire serviced annually by a professional to maintain its efficiency and safety.

How much does it cost to run a gas fire?
Gas is generally more affordable per kilowatt-hour than electricity. While the exact cost depends on your tariff and the kW output of the fire, gas remains one of the most economical ways to provide high levels of radiant heat to a large room.

Are gas fires safe for families?
Yes. Modern gas fires are equipped with sophisticated safety systems, including Oxygen Depletion Sensors (ODS), which automatically shut off the gas if the oxygen levels in the room drop or if the flue becomes blocked.

Can I replace my old gas fire with a more efficient one?
Absolutely. Modern glass-fronted gas fires are significantly more efficient than older open-fronted models. Upgrading can reduce the amount of heat lost up the chimney and lower your running costs.
