Gas Fire Installations in the UK - FAQ's

There are several types of gas fires available in the UK:
  • Inset Gas Fires: Designed to fit into an existing fireplace or cavity.
  • Wall-mounted Gas Fires: Mounted on a wall, offering a sleek and modern look.
  • Outset Gas Fires: Stand slightly out from the wall or fireplace, providing more heat.
  • Balanced Flue Fires: Suitable for homes without chimneys, venting directly through an external wall.
  • Flueless Gas Fires: Do not require a chimney, using a catalytic converter to clean the air.
Not necessarily. Some gas fires, such as balanced flue or flueless models, do not require a chimney. However, if you have a traditional chimney, you can opt for a conventional flue gas fire.
  • Instant heat: Provides warmth at the push of a button.
  • Real flame effect: Offers the look and feel of a real fire.
  • Cost-effective: Gas fires are generally cheaper to run than electric fires.
  • Variety: Available in many designs to suit both modern and traditional homes.
Yes, gas fires have varying efficiency levels, with some models reaching over 85% efficiency. Balanced flue and flueless gas fires are typically the most efficient as they do not lose heat up a chimney.
The cost of installation can vary depending on the type of gas fire and the complexity of the job. On average, you can expect to pay between £200 and £1,500, including installation by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Yes, all gas fire installations in the UK must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. This ensures the installation is safe and meets all necessary regulations.
If your home has a gas supply and either a traditional chimney or the ability to install a flue, you can usually have a gas fire installed. If you don’t have a chimney, you can consider a balanced flue or flueless gas fire, but a professional assessment is needed to confirm suitability.
Yes, in most cases, you can replace an old gas fire with a new model. However, it’s important to have a professional assess whether your existing flue or chimney system is suitable for the new fire.
Balanced flue gas fires are sealed units that draw air from outside your home through a double-walled flue pipe and expel waste gases outside. These fires do not require a chimney and are highly efficient, making them ideal for homes without a traditional flue.
Flueless gas fires do not require a chimney or flue to operate. They use a catalytic converter to clean the air, ensuring no harmful emissions are released into the room. These fires are 100% efficient because no heat is lost through a flue or chimney.
The amount of gas a fire uses depends on its heat output and efficiency. On average, a gas fire will use around 2 to 5 kWh of gas per hour, costing approximately 10 to 20 pence per hour, depending on gas rates.
Gas fires should be serviced annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer to ensure they are working efficiently and safely. You should also regularly check the fire for any blockages or issues with the flame.
Yes, gas fires are safe when installed and maintained correctly. Modern gas fires have safety features like oxygen depletion sensors (ODS) and flame failure devices (FFD) that automatically shut off the gas if unsafe conditions are detected.
The installation time can vary depending on the complexity of the job, but most gas fire installations can be completed within two hours to two days.
The heat output of a gas fire can range from 2kW to 5kW or more, depending on the model. This is enough to comfortably heat a medium-sized room.
Yes, gas fires can be installed in bedrooms, but specific regulations apply. You will need to use a flueless gas fire or ensure adequate ventilation with other types of gas fires. Always consult a Gas Safe registered engineer for advice on compliance.
A well-installed and attractive gas fire can enhance the appeal of your home and may potentially increase its value, particularly in colder climates or areas where gas heating is valued.
