Reasons to Invest in a Gas Fire
In recent years, gas fires have become much more desirable to so many more people for one simple fact – there is so much choice available. Also, Gas fires can be incredibly efficient when compared to other heating methods in a home; a traditional open log fire, for example, can have an efficiency level of 25% or less. This means only 25% of the heat the fire produces goes towards warming the room. Glass fronted Gas fires in the Charlton & Jenrick range start from an efficiency of 77% all the way up to 90%+

Below are a number of reasons to invest in a gas fire:
Gas Fires are Environmentally Friendly. There are few emissions when you use gas compared to other options, producing fewer emissions and pollutants when in use. Some models are designed to be more energy-efficient, reducing environmental impact further. Many of the gas fires in the Charlton & Jenrick range are hydrogen-ready, which means they can be mixed with 20% hydrogen. Blending up to 20% hydrogen into the gas grid with 80% existing natural gas could save up to 6 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions every year.
.
No Chimney – No Problem! – Gas fires can be vented in a range of ways. With a balanced flue gas fire, for example, you are able to have a fire that features an intake and outflow arrangement. Fresh Air Intake: One pipe of the balanced flue brings fresh, oxygen-rich air from outside into the appliance to fuel the combustion process. Exhaust Gas Outflow: The second pipe expels the waste gases (such as carbon monoxide) safely outside.
Simple & Convenient to Use – A gas fire is simple and convenient to use. A wood-burning stove, by comparison, although it gives wonderful heat and looks great, requires more time to set up and generally maintain. You can enjoy almost instant heat with a gas fire with a flick of a switch, or tap on your mobile phone.
.
They Look Great – Gas fires are available in a range of styles and designs to suit various home decors, from traditional to modern looks, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your living space. Gone are the days when the only option for a gas fire was the standard 16″ hole-in-wall design.

Secondary Heating – Secondary heating is a key benefit associated with a gas fire. Secondary heating, as the word suggests, is secondary to a home’s main source of heating. Cost savings can be made by only heating one room with your gas fire. Furthermore, should there be a power cut, a gas fire with a battery-operated ignition will still work.
.
Increasing Value and Desirability – You can increase the value and desirability of your home with a gas fire. The exact value increase will be based on a range of things, such as the value of your home, whether or not a gas fire was originally fitted, the age of your house, etc.
.
Lower Heating Costs – This is especially true if you are using your gas fire efficiently for secondary heating, as mentioned above, and only heating the room you happen to be in. Furthermore, the high efficiency of gas fires in the Charlton & Jenrick range means you can achieve greater heat with less gas! By heating just one room, should you be focusing on lowering energy costs, allows you can drop the temperature of the central heating in the rest of the house.
Safety – When installed and maintained properly, gas fires are generally safe to use. Gas fires now come with built-in safety features, which automatically shut off the gas supply if the flame goes out.
