Gas Fire Heating

A gas fireplace is a wonderful addition to any home. Easy to use, low-maintenance, consistent, energy-efficient and with smaller footprints than wood burners, they have many benefits as a heating solution. They are also fast becoming popular across New Zealand. Unlike electric options, they offer the coziness of real flames—without the mess, work, and emissions that come with burning wood.

Installing a gas fireplace requires reliable, experienced tradespeople. Whether you are using reticulated or bottled gas, putting in one of these heating solutions is a specialised job and must be done with an eye to safety.

A gas fire keeps your home warm and cozy. It’s energy-efficient, cheap to operate, and consistent. For it to stay this way, however, like any gas appliance it requires regular maintenance and servicing.

In the absence of any issues, gas fires should be serviced every two years at most to ensure that they are working well and safely—and that they continue to do so. Your gas fire may also require professional maintenance if: the pilot light won’t stay lit, you can smell gas at any point, there is a lot of soot build-up, or the flame is not consistent and switches on and off. If you are experiencing any of these issues, it’s time to get your fireplace looked at.
