As we head into winter, there is nothing better for beating those frosty nights than a gas stove. During winter, spending time with loved ones curled up in front of the fire can’t be beaten.
But while the crackling of a real fire in a traditional fireplace might seem appealing, wood fires come with numerous disadvantages like maintenance and clean up, problems that you don’t get with gas stoves.
So, if you’re looking for a cosy way to warm your home this winter without all the hassle of burning wood and clearing out a chimney flue, a gas stove could be exactly what you’re looking for in our fireplace showroom in London. Here are all the reasons why gas stoves are a perfect choice for your home; along with a selection of the products we have available at Real Flame.
Benefits of Gas Stoves
- Instant heat
Unlike wood or coal stoves, gas fires give you instant heat. You don’t have to wait for flames to catch and spend time trying to coax the fire into providing you with the right amount of heat; gas fires can be switched on and start working in an instant, and can be adjusted by a switch or with a remote control to your desired temperature.
- Minimum mess
With a gas stove, there’s no ash to clean up after each use or a dirty chimney that needs to be professionally cleaned. A gas fire requires by far the least amount of effort, simply turn it on when you want heat and flame then switch it off when you’re done. All it requires is a top-up with fuel every now and again, and that’s all that’s needed to create those cosy nights in.
- Energy efficient
Gas fires are by far the most energy-efficient fire models, and they can help you reduce your energy and heating bills. Their effectiveness allows a room to heat very quickly and evenly rather than just around the fireplace itself, which is often the case with coal models.
A central heating boiler is usually rated around 15KW for energy consumption, but a gas fire can be rated as little as 3.5KW, or even just 1KW to heat an entire room. Modern gas fires can offer up to 90% fuel efficiency, helping you heat your home for less.
- Easy installation
Gas fires don’t require a chimney, and thus can be placed virtually anywhere, in any room against any wall, or even in the middle of the room if you like. There are no limits to where you can place your gas fire.
- So many styles
Thanks to their easy installation, gas fires come in a vast range of styles and aesthetics to suit any home, including traditional looking gas stoves. So you can still get that rustic, classic look without the need of a chimney with a gas stove.
