Beatrice Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 HiWe have a decorative gas fire in a large fireplace which produces absolutley no heat! I am looking for a gas fire engineer who could help us choose a more effective heat source and possibly re-design our fireplace to make more efficient. We are not looking for a log burner.Many thanks. Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

muffins78 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Ive just had a fireplace and gas fire installed - and I don?t have any hesitation regarding Kent Fireplaces - based in Shortlands. They were recommended to me - I didn?t even shop around - end to end the help and service was brilliant. I later found out that some of my colleagues have used them also!!Enjoy getting it done :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/211856-gas-fire-recommendation/#findComment-1299570 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheff Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Ditto on Kent Fireplaces.. We used them for a gas fire and also a normal Victorian replacement type..Great job and good price (having spent many weekends travelling to numerous shops!)The fire we had was a Riva 2 - 800 and its very good for heating a 4x4m sort of room and bigger..

muffins78 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Oh gosh - the heat is melting when on high - so yes very happy with it!They?ve a huge range and I can?t remember which one I went with! I?ll find the paperwork! But they?ll walk you through the options - but be prepared - I didn?t realise there were so many!As I said before - they are really helpful and will guide you properly!! Bring some photos and measurements of your current fireplace- if you do decide to go ahead with them - they?ll survey your property based on suitability for whichever fires you may wish to go for!!

Beatrice Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 Hi Sheff and MuffinsI really appreciate your feedback. I made an awful mistake about ten years ago by buying a gas fire pretty much on looks rather than efficiency of heat and I have regretted it ever since. So I am determined to get it right this time! I will definitely follow up your suggestion of Kent Fireplaces. Since I'm guessing you live locally can I ask you both a massive favour - can I actually come and see your fire in action and feel what sort of heat it emits? It would take five minutes and I could bring you a thank you gift of your favourite tipple. My number is 07796 943513 if you are up for a quick visit either before Christmas or in the new year.Thanks again for your feedback.

muffins78 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Beatrice - that?s absolutely no problem after Christmas - and you don?t need to bring any gesture of thanks. I?ll text you but you probably don?t want to sharing your number on the forum :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/211856-gas-fire-recommendation/#findComment-1301134 Share on other sites More sharing options...
