We thought it might be useful to put together a Helios 5 Inset Multifuel Stove review as this is the latest from the Gallery range and proving to be extremely popular. While inset multifuel stoves are perhaps not to everybody’s taste, they are certainly seeing an increase in sales. For many people it is the ability to retrofit the stove within an existing fireplace with minimal fuss which does the trick. So, what else does the Helios 5 Inset Multifuel Stove have to offer?
Creating a relaxing atmosphere
While there is obviously an environmentally friendly angle to any type of stove, there is no doubt that many people acquire them for the relaxing ambience. For those who’ve yet to feel the deep seated heat from a multifuel stove, which can burn wood or approve solid fuels, this is something very different. It is relaxing, calming, all-encompassing and spreads an aura of peace and quiet throughout your home. You will also notice that this particular model is extremely easy on the eye and on many occasions has proven to be a great conversation starter.
We know that many customers prefer the traditional stand-alone wood-burning/multifuel stove, but the inset model does certainly offer something a little different. Installed flush against the wall, it does not protrude into your room and take up valuable space. Simply open the door, refill the fuel and your stove will keep going for many hours.
Technical specifications Helios 5 Inset Multifuel Stove
First of all it is worth saying that the Helios 5 Inset Multifuel Stove is DEFRA approve. This means that it has been approved for use in smoke control areas for the burning of wood and approved solid fuel. The heat output is around 4.5 kW which is more than enough to heat a small to medium sized room and a joy to come home to. The efficiency rating is 81% and the cleanburn system ensures that all fuel is burnt, re-burnt and burnt again to reduce emissions. It is not difficult to see why this particular model is proving popular, however, describing it as a cheap multifuel stove does not do the stove justice.
Helios 5 Inset Multifuel stove spare parts
What we have noticed in the past is that some of the “entry-level” multifuel stoves of a more niche nature have failed to provide replacement/spare parts in a timely fashion. This is certainly not the case with the Gallery Collection of stoves which takes in Firefox and Tiger stoves as well as the Helios range of stand-alone and inset machines. As an authorised agent for the company we have access to all of the spare parts you could ever need which will be delivered in just a matter of days. If we have the spare parts in stock then they can be with you within 48 hours.
Ongoing maintenance and replacement of worn and broken parts of your stove will significantly extend its life. Let’s not forget, these machines are built to last and made from extremely robust and durable material.
Summary
As we touched on above, it is a little unfair to suggest that the Helios 5 Inset Multifuel Stove is an “entry-level stove”. This may be correct with price but with quality it can hold its own with any stove. The days when “cheap multifuel stoves” were effectively disposable, once they started to fail it was cheaper to replace them, have long gone. The Gallery Collection has taken value for money to a different level and the backup with regards to spare/replacement parts is an essential service. You will certainly not be disappointed with the Helios 5 Inset Multifuel Stove, both in terms of value for money, heat creation and backup support.
