Frequently Asked Questions – Gas Log Fires
How often should a gas log fire be serviced?
Gas log fires, like all other types of heaters, should be professionally serviced every 2 years to ensure they’re operating safely and efficiently. Regular servicing helps detect carbon monoxide risks, flue issues and worn components before they become dangerous, or bigger issues are created.
Can you install a gas log fire in an existing fireplace?
Yes – in many cases a gas log fire can be installed into an existing open fireplace. We can assess to confirm suitability and compliance.
Are gas log fires expensive to run?
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.
