Top 25 Gas Fires
Gas-powered heating products were first invented in 1895, and their designs couldn’t be further from what we have today. Originally, these appliances were simple gas burners that heated a cast-iron carcass.
The carcass would be so hot that its radiance would continue to warm the room for hours, even after the fire had burned out. Modern gas fires work on the same principle, except they are now much safer (and more efficient).
It’s brands like DRU, Elgin & Hall, and Be Modern who have redefined gas fire manufacturing. With millions of products on offer, it’s only natural for shoppers to be overwhelmed. But don’t worry: we’ve made it easy.
Browse our picks for 2025’s top gas fires and make the home you’ve always wanted.
1. Crystal Boston Wide HE High Efficiency Hole in the Wall gas fire
Undoubtedly a feature appliance, the Crystal Boston Wide HE High Efficiency Hole in the Wall gas fire would make it an excellent primary heat source for medium-sized rooms.
The glass-fronted design of this fire brings its efficiency up to 77%, which, combined with its solid 4.3kW heat output, means you get a lot of warmth for your money.
Its authentic-design wood logs and black brick effects create a cosy atmosphere, and places it right in your wall.
2. DRU Circo Balanced Flue Gas Stove
The DRU Circo Balanced Flue Gas Stove is hugely popular with buyers, and for good reason! Its unique, cylindrical shape means homeowners can view their fire’s flames through its clear, 180-degree curved glass.

Available in natural gas or LPG, this balanced flue stove is also fully room-sealed for maximum efficiency (92.5%, to be exact!)
3. Be Modern Design Fascia Balanced Flue Gas Fire
Is your home lacking a chimney?
The Be Modern Design Fascia Balanced Flue Gas Fire has thought of everything! With a balanced flue system, this 86% efficient gas fire is also glass-fronted (which is why, despite its compact, built-in design, it generates 3.3kW of heat).

What’s more, this fire, despite its imposing size and output, is still energy efficient (with a rating of 87.5%).
7. DRU Global 70XT CF Gas Fire
Do you prefer minimalism?
If clean lines and block colours are the ultimate appeal, the DRU Global 70XT CF Gas Fire keeps things visually simple. Its extra-wide glass panel puts flames first, and its smooth, black frame is very sophisticated.

8. Flavel Romance HE Gas Fire
The Flavel Romance HE Gas Fire would make a cost-effective purchase for budget-savvy shoppers.

14. Eko fires 6030 flueless gas stove
Big things come in small packages, and the Eko fires 6030 flueless gas stove is the ideal appliance for smaller rooms.
This fire makes light work of keeping compact homes warm. Its dimensions (H630mm x W615mm x D320mm) mean it won’t overpower a room, but it still delivers an impressive flame display with a 1.5-3kW output.
For safe installation, you’ll need a room size of at least 35 cubic metres, along with 100cm² of purpose-provided ventilation.
15. Crystal Diamond Gas Fire
They say ‘diamonds are forever’, and the Crystal Diamond Gas Fire is no exception.
This slimline contemporary inset fire is specially designed for shallow flues (like precast flues often found in modern UK homes). In fact, it’s only about 100mm deep, yet it manages an impressive 3.2kW heat output.
16. Be Modern Design Fascia Deepline HE Gas Fire
If you want big heat and bold style, the Be Modern Design Fascia Deepline HE Gas Fire is for you.
This glass-fronted inset fire is the bigger version of the balanced flue version we saw at number 3. But this one is for conventional chimneys and boasts a deepline (extra-deep) firebox of 198mm.
But why is that great? A deeper firebox means a taller and more dynamic flame, and in this case, it also means more heat (4.2kW output) and higher efficiency of roughly 87%.
17. Kinder Oasis HE High Efficiency Gas Fire
The Kinder Oasis HE High Efficiency Gas Fire is something of a legend in the gas fire world.
It was Kinder’s first high efficiency model, and it’s still one of the most coveted choices for those who want the charm of an open-front look with the benefits of a glass-fronted engine.
The Oasis HE is a glass-fronted inset gas fire that looks quite like a traditional open fire, but because of that glass, it achieves an incredible 86% efficiency and a solid 4.0kW heat output.
18. Onyx Avanti 85 Gas fire
The Onyx Avanti 85 Gas fire is built for conventional flue use (so a chimney or flue liner is needed). It outputs up to 5.4kW of heat on natural gas, with a net efficiency of about 78%.
The Avanti uses something called EchoFlame™ black glass lining inside, which mirrors the flames to create the illusion of greater depth and more flames. So, if flame display is your priority, this could be one of your top gas fires.
19. Gazco Riva2 600HL Edge Gas Fire
Designed for a conventional flue, the Gazco Riva2 600HL Edge Gas Fire is yet another powerful option from Gazco. It provides up to 5.3kW of heat (natural gas), or 4.6kW on LPG, which makes it great for standard living rooms.
The efficiency is around 76% net, which is solid for a fire of this size! Interior-wise, buyers have a choice between a classic Brick-effect, a natural Ledgestone-effect, or a contemporary Black Glass (highly reflective) inner lining.
20. DRU Global 55XT CF Gas Fire
When you want DRU quality in a compact built-in fire, the Dru Global 55XT CF Gas Fire is particularly exceptional. The model is roughly 55cm wide and is a conventional flue inset fire, which would make it great for replacing an old gas fire in a chimney.
Despite its smaller width, it has an extra-tall 535mm glass window, so you actually get a larger window height than many standard fires.
21. Eko fires 3030 Gas Fire
Sometimes, you’re just out for the classics.
The Eko fires 3030 Gas Fire has the right aesthetic with the addition of unbeatable energy efficiency. As a full-depth radiant gas fire, Eko fires’ 3030 model kicks out over 3kW of heat (peaking around 3.8kW) and offers manual control as standard.
One unique aspect of this compact powerhouse is its range of decorative frets and frames. Choose a classic inlay black, brass, or gold frame and pair it with an antique, Blenheim, or monochrome frame.
22. Eko Fires 4010 HE High Efficiency Gas Fire
The Eko Fires 4010 HE High Efficiency Gas Fire delivers on all levels.
The 4010 is very traditionally designed, with black trim, brass fret, and a beautifully arranged coal-effect fuel bed. But under the hood, it boasts a 90% efficiency and a 4.0kW heat output!
It achieves this via a unique patented safety draft diverter system and a sealed firebox design that pipes in air and expels flue gases through the chimney while keeping the room air separate.
23. Crystal Montana Royale 3-sided HE High Efficiency Gas Fire
The Crystal Montana Royale 3 sided HE High Efficiency Gas Fire might be open on three sides, but it’s still a high-efficiency. It’s cleverly engineered to keep heat output high and losses low.
You can operate it however you prefer: it comes with manual control, but most people opt for a remote control upgrade with such a premium Crystal fire. Design-wise, this fire is best enjoyed in an open stud wall enclosure with appropriate clearances.
24. Gallery Classic 8 Eco Gas Stove - Warm White
For a quirky alternative to the ‘traditional’ stove look, the Gallery Classic 8 Eco Gas Stove - Warm White stands out. It’s still a traditional cast-iron stove with sturdy legs and a big window to watch the flames.
Except it’s finished in a striking, warm white enamel. Even better, is that installing this stove is fairly straightforward, especially if you already have a hearth. It needs a standard top flue and would fit perfectly in an existing fireplace chamber.
(For an extra cost, you can get a matching ivory flue pipe!)
25. Portway Luxima Gas Stove
Capping off our list is the Portway Luxima Gas Stove. Its heavy-duty build consists of a 5mm thick steel body with a cast iron door: solid and built to last.
The interior is finished in black enamel panels that reflect the flames for added depth, and importantly, Portway has used non-reflective glass at the front, so there’s virtually no visible glare.
