“Excellent service”

Thank you for all your help and advice and for the excellent service you provided. From making the right choices to installation everything has gone so smoothly and we are delighted with the new fireplaces. Even without a fire burning they are exactly the feature we hoped for. We can now look forward to winter.”

Mr & Mrs N. Woodford

“Polite & friendly”

After having our fireplace fitted by you I can have nothing but praise for your excellent service, polite and friendly installers and a wonderful end result!

We’ve had the fire on very often and if we leave our living room doors open it warms up the whole house.. Caroline and I both think it is one of the best things we’ve ever spent our money on. We love it! Thank you once again.”

John & Caroline

“Kind & considerate”

My wife and I would like to thank you for your kind and considerate service. Please convey our thanks to your installers for a job well done.

It was a great pleasure to hear how complimentary my wife was about the manner and demeanour of your colleges, notwithstanding their obvious professional abilities to install our purchases from you.

Mr & Mrs B. Finchley

“Responsive & helpful”

We researched a number of companies before deciding to go with Something Different, which was the lowest in price. I liked that you were responsive and helpful and didn’t try to bamboozle us.

The installers were quick, personable, turned up on time and did a really good job leaving it clean afterwards. I would recommend Something Different to others.

Mr W. Leyton

“Clean and tidy”

As this is my first stove I needed a lot of advice and information. Your company provided the time and expertise that I required. Your competitors were not up to the same standard. The fitters who dealt with the installation were courteous, professional, clean and tidy.

I would have no hesitation in recommending your company and in providing the highest reference for overall service.

Mrs S. Chingford

One of the big reasons for this surge in popularity is that inset gas fires fit neatly into standard British fireplace openings, which typically measure 16 inches. Their popularity stems from their ability to blend seamlessly into existing decors while providing efficient heating and a traditional aesthetic that appeals to many homeowners.

Here at Something Different, we offer a wide selection of high-quality inset gas fires backed by expert installation services and customer support. Our commitment to providing tailored solutions ensures that each customer finds the perfect fire to meet their aesthetic and heating needs.

It’s difficult to say without knowing how well-insulated your home is and its overall energy efficiency; however, generally, a 4kW gas fire is suitable for heating a room approximately 60 cubic meters in size, based on the general rule of needing 1 kW of heat for every 15 cubic meters of space.

It depends on your home, tastes and budget, as there are plenty of benefits for each type. Open-fronted gas fires offer a more traditional look and a cosy ambience with visible flames, making them popular in decorative settings. Glass-fronted gas fires, however, are more efficient as they provide better heat output and reduced energy consumption by containing the heat within the glass.

Some gas fires are flueless and do not require a flue or chimney, but they still need adequate ventilation to operate safely. These units burn very cleanly and can release exhaust gases back into the room without harm, provided the room is well ventilated.

For safety and efficiency, it’s recommended that all types of gas fires be serviced annually by a qualified technician. Regular maintenance ensures that your gas fire operates safely and at peak performance, minimising the risk of carbon monoxide exposure and maximising the product’s lifespan.

Yep, you can choose from several options if you don’t have a chimney. Flueless gas fires, balanced flue gas fires, or powered flue gas fires are all suitable alternatives that allow you to enjoy the benefits of a gas fire without a traditional chimney setup.
