Which Fireplace or Stove to Choose?
From multi-fuel stoves and traditional solid fuel fires to gas stoves and inset gas cassettes, there is much to consider, and it's important to choose the right kind and style of appliance to suit your pocket and your home. Having worked in the industry for over 40 years, Brent is confident he can help you choose the right option.
Wood-burning stoves
Stove design and technology are constantly changing, offering increasing choices in style and fuel efficiency. Wood-burning stoves are more efficient than an open fire. They are also more environmentally friendly, can heat other parts of the house, can be left unattended, and do not need to be emptied daily, as some burn better on an ash bed. Efficient and practical, and designed to retain and radiate heat. The advantage of a multi-fuel stove is the ability to burn wood, coal, and peat.
Traditional fires
The crackling sounds and wonderful aromas emanating from a fire are mesmerising. Traditional fires may require maintenance and a constant fuel supply but aesthetically, nothing beats the ambiance created by an open fire. However, when considering efficiency and maintenance, you may want to consider alternatives.
Gas stoves
Traditionally styled coal or log-effect gas-fired stoves provide instant heat, at the touch of a button. Low-maintenance and ash-free, these fires give off great heat without needing to be stocked and cleaned daily, making them ideal for people with a busy lifestyle.
Gas Fires
Gas fires have progressed in the last few years. Efficiency, design, and ease of operation are the driving factors, and Brent can help you decide which option is best suited to your budget and living space.
Open solid-fuel fires
Open solid-fuel fires have been the main feature of traditional living rooms for many years. Brent can help you source the perfect addition to your living room and is happy to work with you and your interior designer to find the perfect appliance.
