Frequently Asked Questions – Gas Log Fires

How often should a gas log fire be serviced?

Yes – in many cases a gas log fire can be installed into an existing open fireplace. We can assess to confirm suitability and compliance.

Running costs depend on the size of the unit and usage habits. Generally, modern gas log fires are efficient and provide controlled, consistent heat without wasted energy.
