“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.

Gas fires tend to offer better efficiency in terms of heating larger spaces. With efficiencies reaching over 85% in some models, gas fires can provide substantial warmth quickly. However, they do require regular maintenance and proper ventilation, unlike electric fires.

Not necessarily. While many traditional gas fires require a chimney, modern gas media wall fires often use balanced flue technology, which vents gases directly outside through a wall. Additionally, flueless gas fires are available and don’t require a chimney or flue at all. These models use advanced catalytic converters to clean the air, making them ideal for homes or new-builds without chimney systems.

Most gas fires come equipped with remote controls, allowing you to adjust flame height, heat levels, and sometimes even flame appearance. Some higher-end models also offer smart home integration for voice control or app-based operation.

Running costs are generally lower than electric fires when it comes to heat output. With a gas rate of 6.24p per kWh, the cost of running a gas fire will depend on your usage and the size of the room, but it is typically more economical for larger spaces over time.

Yes, installation should always be handled by a Gas Safe-registered engineer. The process involves setting up gas lines, ensuring proper ventilation, and integrating the fire safely into the wall, especially for media wall designs.

Yes, gas fires provide nearly instant heat once turned on, making them a practical solution for quickly warming up larger spaces, especially compared to central heating systems that can take longer to circulate warmth.

Unlike electric fires, where the flame effect can be used independently of heat, most gas media wall fires generate heat whenever the flame is on. However, you can adjust the flame intensity to moderate the heat output.

Modern gas fires are equipped with safety features such as oxygen depletion sensors (ODS) and flame failure devices (FFD) that shut off the fire in case of malfunction. It’s essential to have them serviced annually for safety and efficiency.
