To make sure you are not caught short and left cold this winter, make sure the gas fire you have in your home is working correctly and it will produce enough heat to the room it is fitted in! So if your gas fire has not been used in these 'summer months' get it turned on and leave it on for few hours to make sure it is working OK. If the are are any problems and your gas fire is within its guarantee (all fires2u gas fires come with manufacture guarantee which can vary from 12months to 5 years) speak to the Gas safe fitter who fitted the appliance and see if he/she can help you resolve the matter.

Below is a list of some of the different styles of gas fires fires2u sell and information that can help you find the right fire for your home -

High Efficiency Gas fires

You could save lots of money on your gas bills AND increase the amount of heat from your gas fire by simply replacing your old open gas fire with a glass fronted high efficient gas fire. For instance, if you have an open fronted gas fire and it is over 5 years old, it could be as little as 25% efficient. A lot of the heat from your gas fire could be going straight up your chimney which is not good for heating the room it is fitted in and also not helpful to the environment. Flavel gas fires have a large selection of High Efficiency gas fires that they have introduced to the market over the last 18months -

Balance Flue Gas fires and Flueless Gas Fires

Many modern property's do have a chimney or a flue so if you still want a gas fire, you may think you may have problem! But don't fret there is now many gas fires on the market that will still be suitable for your home. These type of gas fires have been designed for new homes that have been built without a chimney or conventional flue system providing a gas fuelled alternative heat source to an electric fire or radiator. Balance Flue fires or flueless gas fires are two types of gas fires may be suitable for your home -

Balance flue gas fires can either come as inset or outset gas fire versions. These type of gas fires work by having a vent that goes directly outside through a horizontal co-axial pipe and therefore must be fitted on an external wall in your living room that has nothing attached to the wall it is being fitted too. The outer pipe works by drawing air in from the outside and the inner pipe expels combustion gases.

This balance flue gas fire can either be wall-mounted or fitted with a modern or traditional fire surround.

Flueless gas fires has become come another popular option in recent years especially in modern properties. So how do flueless gas fires actually work? They incorporate the latest in gas fire technology and again do not need a chimney or flue to operate. Instead, the combustion gases pass through a catalytic converter system, positioned at the top of the appliance, which converts carbon monoxide into harmless carbon dioxide and water vapour, levels of which are so low they are typically present in fresh air. In fact, the catalytic converter works so effectively that it can actually help to clean the air by neutralising airborne particles and odours, therefore helping to reduce household allergies.

The EkoFire 5050 Flueless fire is a very popular flueless fire with fires2u customers; as it has clean lines with a sense of balance and simplicity which ensures the lanscape proportions sit in harmony with any living space.

Which gas fire do you need for your home?

Buying a Gas fire can be a daunting process, especially now that there is so many gas fires on the market! At fires2u we have complied a simple list of the gas fires that are currently being sold with a description of these gas fires so you can make sure you are purchasing the correct one.

Full Depth Gas Fire / Class 1 Flue

A Full depth gas fire (can be described as Class 1) is suitable for someone that has a brick chimney and is easily recognisable by the chimney stack with accompanying terracotta pot or gas terminal. If you have this type of flue in your home you can handle all gas fires (apart from gas fires designed for “no chimney” applications see below) from those with a deep fuel beds right through to shallower slimline styles.

Pre-Fabricated Flue / Class 2 Flue

Pre-fabricated flues (can be described as Class 2) are easily identifiable by a metal flue and terminal on the roof and a metal flue box behind the fire. Prefabricated flues usually offer a good depth (however we would recommend you check the depth you have, before you purchase a gas fire to make sure that it will definitely be suitable) therefore also allowing you to choose from many full depth gas fires and all slimline gas fires. Pre- fabricated flues are found either in older houses where the existing Chimney has been lined by a steel flue or in newer properties with a steel flue built in and is recognised by a metal flue and terminal on the roof.

Slimline Gas Fire/ Pre-Cast Flue / Class 2 Flue

Pre-cast flues can be identified by a ridge vent or metal flue tube and terminal on the roof. Constructed from concrete or clay blocks they form a rectangular section flue. If you have this type of flue you need to look for gas fire that is called Slimline there is a wide range of slimline gas fires on the market now. Pre-cast flues are found in most modern homes. The main issue when looking for a gas fire is Depth so make sure this is checked to make sure the gas fire is compatible for your home.

More and more properties do not have any of the above flues in the homes, if this applies to you then have a look at the below options you can go for if you don't want to go for an electric fire -

Powerflue Gas Fires

Powerflue fires use an electronically driven fan unit mounted on the external wall to expel the flue gases directly outside the building. A power flue is an open fronted gas fire which can be used where there is no chimney or flue available. Powerflue gas fires can come in both inset and outset gas fires models and requires an electricity supply.

Balanced Flue Gas Fires

Balanced Flue fires use a horizontal pipe to vent directly outside wall. An electricity supply is not required for Balanced Flue products and therefore is a glass fronted gas appliance. Balance flue gas fires are used in homes where there is no chimney or flue available and can either come as inset or outset gas fire model.

Flueless Gas fires

Flueless fires and appliances use a catalytic converter which converts all harmful gases to carbon dioxide (safe gas) and water vapour. Flueless gas fires can be installed into most rooms providing there is a gas supply excluding bedrooms and bathrooms however the room needs to meet minimum size and ventilation requirements (which is always stated within the information context next to these fires on fires2u.com website). These gas fires therefore do not require any chimney or flue or even an outside wall – they come in various styles from traditional to modern so they can look great any room they are fitted in!

At fires2u we always advise speak to a registered Gas safe fitter before you order any Gas fire, this guarantees that the gas fire you are thinking of purchasing will defiantly be suitable for your home. We can always email you the installation information of the product before you purchase the fire from us, email us on insallationinfo@fires2u.com and state the manufacture and name of the gas fire within the email.

Gas prices on the rise - How can you keep your gas fire running costs low?

During these cash-strapped times to hear news that Scottish Power is going to increase domestic gas prices by 19% in August has shocked and disheartened many UK consumers. As Audrey Gallacher from the government watchdog Consumer Focus stated "This huge increase will be a body blow for consumers and we fear other firms will follow Scottish Power's lead" It is now believed that many UK families will face a stinging 50 per cent rise in their gas and electricity bills in the next four years, as increases continue to grow and grow!

Unfortunately with UK’s cold climate, items such as gas fires are no longer a luxury and are very much a necessity. The last few Christmas’s and January's in the UK have been so cold that the warmth from a gas fire has been essential to make it through these periods. So what is the solution? Well unfortunately theres nothing that can be done about the increases of prices we are going to face for gas in the next few months BUT there is ways of making sure you purchase a gas fire that will run as efficiently as possible! Manufactures of gas fires over the last few years have invested a lot of time and money to produce gas fires that not only look great but are highly efficient, produce exceptional heat output but are low cost to run and a large range of fires called High Efficient Gas fires have been appearing on the UK market.

But how do High Efficient Gas fires work?

All High Efficient gas fires are glass fronted which reduces the warm room-air being drawn up the chimney or flue. In addition to this, the convection air design draws in present cold room-air and circulates this through the hotbox to produce convected hot air back into the room. This increases performance and optimise's efficiency = More Heat For Less Money!

These High Efficient gas fires (HE gas fires) can help home owners improve their energy efficiency by up to 60% more than a decorative gas fire, reduce running costs by up to £83 per year and reduce emissions of carbon dioxide by 79%. Therefore meaning that customers that upgrade there old open fronted gas fire to a high efficient glass fronted fire, will not only save but will also have more warm heat in the room they are fitted in.

At fires2u we sell a large range of High Efficient gas fires by manufactures such as Eko fires, Flavel fires, Gallery fires and Valor fires. So to beat the increasing gas prices convert to a High Efficient gas fire today before the cold weather strikes us again!!

Please note read the below carefully and fully before you carry out any installation to see which points relate to your Fireplace suite –

As with any installation preparation is vital. Always check what type of flue your home has an effective way of doing this is to call out a local Chimney Sweep who can check your flue for you. It can then be cleaned by them, and they can recommend if any remedial work needs to be done. Always ask for a certificate upon completion of any work they do. When this has been completed you can purchase an Gas Fireplace with more confidence.

Please note as with any Gas appliance it must be installed and commissioned by a Gas Safe engineer and registered with Gas Safe

Upon delivery of your Gas fire and Fireplace check all parts and lay them out on a flat dry service in order of installation.

Always prepare the chamber in your chimney breast, or ensure an existing chamber is sufficiently big enough to accept the appliance you are fitting (this is specially advised in the case of precast flues which have very little option of alteration due to there construction).

When working out the dimensions of the chamber always remember to allow for the thickness of your hearth when deciding on the height of the chamber. Once the chamber is prepared ensure you have a Gas supply located within the chamber to prevent any unsightly gas pipes being seen.

Lay down hearth and check it is level and well supported underneath.

Check rebate in surround and ensure back panel is set to suit this rebate,( these can vary so always check before fixing) the back panel should be seeled on outside edge and inner edge were the cut out is located this is to prevent any spillage from the fire occurring.

You can now assemble your Surround.

Most Surrounds are provided with fixing brackets attach these at the points indicated, with the screws supplied.

When setting legs and fixing to wall always check measurements i.e. the outside leg measurement corresponds with the breast plate and header of surround when presented. This may require two people depending on the style of surround chosen.

If you have carried out this preparation work yourself you can now organise your Gas Safe fitter to carry out the installation of your Gas Fire.

Always keep a record of your Fitters registration number, the Serial number (located on the gas appliance itself) and Model number of the appliance as most manufacturers will require these details if a call out is requested under the Manufacturers Guarantee.

As with all Fireplaces there are aftercare methods that have to be carried out by owners to make sure they get the very best out of the Cast Iron Fireplace. All Cast Iron Fireplaces or cast inserts are delivered direct to our customers from the manufacture with a protective oil-based coating, which should be cleaned off during installation. Ensure that the room in which the Cast Iron fireplace is being installed is thoroughly dry, for example recently plastered walls cause high levels of moisture in the atmosphere and, as a result, rust is likely to occur to cast iron placed in this room. Under no circumstances should a water based cleaner or polish be used to clean a Cast Iron Fireplaces or cast insert. It is recommended that spray-type oil is applied from time to time in order to avoid surface rust appearing.

The ceramic fuel bed that comes with the gas fire option with Cast Iron fireplaces, must not touch any polished surface of the Cast Iron Fireplace or Cast Insert as this will cause thermal discolouration. Also any ash caused by either the gas fires or solid fuel fires must be cleaned away regularly as a build up beneath the fire will cause the fire grate to burn out quickly. It is however important to note that the grate which is placed within the Cast Iron fireplace is a consumable part of your fire and will need replacing from time to time, depending on the frequency and burning temperature of your fire. High temperature paint is used on all Gallery Cast Iron Fireplaces and Cast Inserts where the section of the gas fire or solid fuel fire will burn within the fireplace, the paint over time may eventually burn off. High temperature paint can be bought to re-coat your Cast Iron Fireplace if this occurs. Such Gallery Fireplace paint or fire grates can be bought also at fires2u.com we just request proof of original purchase and we can then provide you with a price on these products.
