Hole In The Wall gas fires are perfect for modern open spaces. They are warm, stylish, and attractive, offering more floor space by eliminating the need for a hearth.

Hotbox Gas Fires

Hotbox gas fires deliver a flame effect combined with heat, typically between 2.5 kW and 3.5 kW. A hotbox has a built-in box around the flame to control heat loss to the chimney, providing more heat to the room than basic "coal effect" fires. They are generally fitted into rectangular openings, making them unsuitable for cast iron fireplaces.

Convector Gas Fires

Convector gas fires draw cold air in and send hot air back into the room, maximizing heat output while keeping fuel bills low. They deliver between 3 kW and 4.5 kW of heat and are generally fitted into rectangular openings, which also makes them unsuitable for cast iron fireplaces.

Flueless Gas Fires

Flueless gas fires are ideal for homes without a chimney. They are 100% efficient and clean the exhaust from the burner without any heat loss up the chimney. Available in a variety of types and sizes, flueless gas fires are a versatile heating solution.

How Does a Thermostatically Controlled Gas Fire Work?

A thermostatically controlled gas fire works similarly to a thermostat on a cooker. When you set the dial to a specific heat level, the fire will automatically adjust to maintain that temperature.

For example, if the room temperature exceeds your set level, the fire will reduce its output. Conversely, if the room is cooler, the fire will increase its output to reach the desired temperature. This automatic regulation saves energy and money, ensuring a comfortable and consistent room temperature.
