Gas Fire Recommendation


Beatrice

Recommended Posts

Hi


We 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.

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 :)

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..

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!!

Hi Sheff and Muffins


I 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. Beatrice

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
