High-Efficiency Heating Solutions
For homeowners on a budget, performance and running costs are top priorities.
You need a model like the Flavel Windsor HE Contemporary - with a relatively slim installation profile at just 125mm deep, this high-efficiency gas fire boasts a maximum 2.9kW output and 81.3% net efficiency.
Shop our gas fires for sale when you’re looking for something more powerful for a large room. The Flavel Windsor Plus Contemporary delivers up to 4.0kW from an open-fronted design, with a 66.8% net efficiency.
(Both models incorporate a Flame Supervision Device and Airwatch System). As you can see, modern gas fires need to be compared on their complete specification. Not heat output alone.
Choose the correct installation format
The configuration of your existing chimney and fireplace opening will determine which appliances are suitable.
If you’re looking for an appliance designed for use with certain pre-cast flue systems, the Eko 3015 has a shallow 108mm depth (it’s also particularly suitable for installations into new homes with shallow starter blocks) and also has a slide control.
Balanced flue contemporary gas fires are another option for these configurations. The DRU Global 55XT Cavityuses a rear-vented balanced-flue system for cavity-wall installation and combines a 3.2kW maximum output with 77.4% net efficiency!
If you prefer an open-fronted look, models like the Kinder Oasis Plus use both radiant and convected heat to provide a powerful 4.1kW output at a respectable 66.7% useful energy efficiency as part of High efficiency open fronted gas fire range.

Additionally, there is no mess involved with gas fires so you will not have to worry about ash.
Each of our modern gas fires is tailored to look great in any home with stunning real flames, but you can also customise some models further with additional design options in different colours etc.

However, there are still benefits to choosing a fire with lower heat output as it will consume less energy. This is ideal if you’re planning to install the gas fire in a smaller room and want a real flame fire as the focal point.
How Easy Is It To Install a Gas Fire?
A standard gas fire is easy to install and it usually only takes around 2 hours to complete the job. If you are replacing an old fire, you should also factor in the time for removal. Nonetheless, it will not take a professional gas safe fitter long to complete the installation for you.

This allows you to check if it will be suitable for your home with your gas safe fitter before you purchase.
What Styles and Designs Do You Stock?
We offer many different options when it comes to style and design. We have inset gas fires, which are inserted into your chimney breast wall and come with either fascia’s or trims & fret options.
But we also offer outset gas fires, which have a more traditional style. These outset fires will make them a more noticeable feature in the room. Also, all our radiant outset gas fires are super-efficient and allow more heat to be efficiently distributed into the room they are installed in.
We have hole in the wall gas fires which do not require a fireplace but need to be installed within a brick chimney. However, if you pick a balanced flue hole in the wall gas fire, a false chimney breast can be built to allow it to be installed into this.
We also stock modern gas fires in different colours and designs, so you can find the perfect combination to complement the room it will be fitted in.
What are the Different Types of Gas Fires?
We have several different types of gas fires from just our standard gas models including balanced flue, flueless and LPG.
Balanced flue gas fires use a combustion system that is closed which means wasted energy is kept to a very low minimum. These are among the most energy-efficient fires on the market. They use 2 pipes - one drawing fresh air from the outside and another to remove combustion gases.
Flueless gas fires are another go-to option for houses that do not have a chimney and just need appropriate ventilation in the room they are installed in.
LPG fires are suitable for homes that do not have mains gas supply and instead have liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). LPG gas fires are also an environmentally friendly option as they give off fewer emissions.
Do all Living Flame Gas Fire Need a Hearth?
Hole in wall living flame gas fires do not require a hearth as long as your gas safe installer fits the appliance per the installation information provided with the fire (it also can be downloaded from Fires2U website or emailed if requested).
What Features Can I Choose From?
Nearly all our gas fires come standard with manual controls however some offer the option of controlling the fire with either a slide control or a remote control. Additionally, with some fires, you can choose if you would like a pebble, coal or even log effect. This does not affect the temperature or performance as it is a styling feature. You can also choose between fascia’s, trims and fret.
