High Efficiency Flued Gas Fires
Our high efficiency range of flued gas fires, incorporate a glass front which optimises heat performance and efficiency while providing a traditional appearance which costs less to run.
Our range of high efficiency flued gas fires are protected under patent GB2356698B.
Fact: A 90% High Efficiency (HE) gas fire can SAVE you £80 per year off your gas heating bill
A glass fronted HE gas fire converts 90% of the gas to heat unlike open coal effect fires which convert as little as 10%. Typically annual running costs for a 5.0kW input (4.0kW output) HE gas fire is approx £219. A 6.8kW input conventional gas fire with comparable 4.0kW output can cost as much as £299 per year. By replacing your standard gas fire with a 90% High Efficiency gas fire it is possible to make significant SAVINGS on your future gas heating bills.
Your questions answered
Can I have a glass fronted high efficiency flued gas fire?
Yes, providing you currently have a working fireplace with gas supply and suitably sized fire aperture. See Technical Specification page for dimensions. *Designed for natural gas only.
How do I decide which fire will heat my room sufficiently?
As a rough guide only, measure the room and multiply the height x width x depth (in metres), and divide this by 14. The result is the average heating requirements for the room in kWs.
Please note that the construction, insulation, furnishings and type and number of windows in the room must be taken into consideration.
How does this work?
The glass front significantly 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 optimises efficiency.
Are they safe?
For complete safety and peace of mind all of our fires incorporate an Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS), which detect when the oxygen levels in the room fall below a specified level and cause the pilot flame to lift away from the sensing probe. This activates the Flame Failure Device (FFD), which cuts off the gas supply to the fire and renders the appliance safe. What about installation and servicing?
All gas fires must be installed by a Gas Safe registered engineer. We have designed this fire with the installer in mind so that installation including future servicing is made simple with minimal effort and disruption.
