Embrace cosy comfort and efficiency with a contemporary gas fire

Now that winter’s almost here and the chill has started to set in, it’s the perfect time to consider replacing or upgrading your heating. Self-builders will also need to plan their heating solutions in the early stages, to ensure that everything is in place, so if you have a project on the go or are planning a self-build for 2024, now’s the time to explore the options.

Benefits of a gas fire

A contemporary gas fire is the optimum heating solution for instant warmth, comfort and efficiency. With continuous heat as and when you need it, a built-in gas fire or freestanding gas stove looks stunning with its realistic flames, authentic logs and glowing fire bed

There are so many advantages to installing a gas fireplace – as well as instant and constant heat, you’ll also make energy savings, especially when you choose an A or A+ energy rated design. A gas powered fire is clean, convenient, fuss-free, easy to use and environmentally friendly, as its energy source means you don’t need to chop down or buy logs or firewood, helping to preserve our forests. It’s reliable, safe and odourless, allowing you to enjoy instant heat and a cosy interior all year round.

Made for self-builders

Self-build projects need a heating solution that’s flexible, efficient and stylish. Even with the government’s net zero targets, gas heating will be with us for many more years to come and with a DRU gas fire, installation by a Gas Safe registered engineer is easy. If there’s an existing chimney, they can convert it to incorporate a built-in gas fire. If there’s no chimney then they can use balanced flue technology so the fire can be installed with the flue exiting through an exterior wall or roof.

 

The Metro 200XT is just one example – a 90% efficient 2m wide panoramic gas fire with authentic logs and realistic flames that can be installed without the need for a chimney and operated with your smartphone or tablet.
