Frequently Asked Questions - Electric Fires

Which brands of electric fire do you sell?

We are the area’s main dealer for Gazco, Onyx and Charlton & Jenrick electric fires and stoves.

We have carefully selected our portfolio, from top of the range brands, to ensure that we have options to suit every taste, budget and property.

If you have seen a different make of electric fire elsewhere, which is not in our range, it is highly likely that we have an equivalent or a close alternative product – please ask!

How hot and how efficient are the electric fires?

Electric fires have a heat output no greater than 2kW. They are generally just under 100% efficient – in other words, almost all of the power supplied to the appliance is turned into heat.

Is it possible to run the fire without the heat?

Yes, all electric models have the option to run the appliance in ‘flame effect only’ mode. This enables you to have the ambience of a fire in your room even where the heat is not required, for example in the summer, or in a home with very good central heating.

What size are the fires?

We offer a comprehensive range of electric fires, starting with inset electric fires suitable for a standard British 16” x 22” fireplace opening, right up to spectacular 2 metre wide built-in electric fires, for a stunning landscape hole-in-the-wall look, or for building into a bespoke media wall.

Do you sell electric cast iron stoves?

Yes, Gazco have cleverly created electric stove versions of most of the popular Stovax cast iron and steel stoves. The electric flame effect uses LED technology, and is one of the most advanced on the market. The products are ideal for someone wanting the look of a wood burning stove, but with the convenience of electricity.

Do you sell electric fireplace suites?

Yes, we offer a number of electric fireplace suites from Gazco, Charlton & Jenrick and Katell. These packages generally include a surround, infill/hearth and electric fire, with a number of options suitable for an easy installation against a flat wall. We also sell a range of contemporary wall mounted electric fires.

Are there electric fires on display in your showroom?

Yes, we have a wide selection of electric fires in our showroom, the majority of which are on ‘live’ working display. The fires are a representative selection of the products in our range, including 16” inset electric fires, media wall electric fires, built-in electric fires, electric fireplace suites and electric stoves.

Do you install electric fires?

Yes, we regularly install electric fires as part of a complete fireplace package. We can arrange any necessary electrical work to be carried out by a reputable local electrician, with whom we have worked for many years.

Can I just buy an electric fire from you and have it fitted by someone else?

Yes. We are more than happy to ‘supply only’. Our electric fires all come with a standard UK 3-pin plug, so for example for a freestanding fire or stove, you can simply position the appliance, plug it in and it is up and running. However, if the installation is more involved (e.g. cables need to be chased through the wall), you should ask an electrician to carry out this work for you.
