Providing Cost Effective Heating with Gas Fires

PLYMOUTH, U.K. - March 11, 2013 - PRLog -- When I woke up today, the last thing I expected to see out my window was a flurry of snow! While I love the sight of snow, I am not so fond of the cold that accompanies it; bitterness that gets to your bones.

Our living room doesn't have any radiators and so becomes incredibly cold and it's times like this I am very thankful for my gas fire. As a primary heat source for the main room in the house, it is great for providing a lot of heat in a short amount of time. As an added bonus it creates a delightfully cosy ambiance to the room, making it warm, inviting and comforting.

As well as these surface benefits, the advantages of a gas fire may go further than you might first anticipate. Gas fires are in fact a relatively cheap installation for your home that can actually save you money on your bills.

The gas fire has come a long, long way since the 1960s. Once functioning at around only 20% efficiency, many modern gas fires work at around 65% efficiency - if not more.

With this in mind, a gas fire is also great for when you only want to heat one room in the house. As a gas fire can function independently, it means you won't have to be heating the whole house through the central heating saving you more money!

There are plenty of reasons to upgrade to a new gas fire, be it from an aesthetic or practical point of view - especially if you are replacing an old gas fire (you will notice significant energy savings).
