Prefer a gas stove to a wood burning stove?

Gas stoves are a real alternative to a wood burning or multi-fuel stove. They have come a long way in not only efficiency, but also in design and aesthetics. This makes them a real alternative to people who would like a wood burning stove or multi-fuel stove, but don't want the hassle or mess.

Many of our gas stoves have the look and feel of a wood burning stove. We stock a big range of gas stoves from many of the top stove manufacturers. These suppliers manufacture top quality stoves, many made of cast iron and all are highly efficient. The styles also range from modern and contemporary right through to traditional designs.

Nowadays, the majority of gas stoves are glass fronted. This means that they have minimal heat loss and keep as much heat as possible.

They are also designed and manufactured with materials that conduct heat well. This includes cast iron and/or steel. Therefore you can rest assured you are getting excellent value for money in efficiency.

Gas stoves still require a qualified and approved installer. However, in the majority of circumstances, they can be easier to fit that a wood burning or multi-fuel stove. And if you don't have a mains supply of gas, a lot of gas stoves can also be connected to LPG.

The first step in installing a gas stove is to identify the type of chimney you have. This determines which model of gas stove you require. And if you don't have a chimney, we also stock stoves with a balanced flue. This means the flue seals the stove from the room and a twin pipe in installed from your stove to an outside wall.

Wood burning stoves and multi-fuel stoves do require regular maintenance. From the general upkeep of the stove through to regular chimney sweeps. however, with a gas stove, there is considerably less maintenance. The only maintenance that should be required is an annual service to ensure it is running safely and efficiently.
