Which Fire is Right for You?

Not sure which type of fire suits your home? Here is a quick guide to help you decide – or speak to our team and we will point you in the right direction.

Electric Fires

Best for: homes with and without a
chimney, flats, new builds

The simplest option. Electric fires require no chimney, no flue and no structural work – they plug in and run from a standard socket.
 
The flame effect works independently of the heat, so you can enjoy the ambiance all year round.
 

Pros

  • No chimney or flue required
  • Suitable for any room including smoke controlled areas
  • Lowest installation cost
  • Flame effect works without heat
  • Remote controlled and easy to use
  • Exceptionally energy efficient – almost all electricity converts directly to heat
  • Minimal maintenance required

Cons

  • Not a primary heat source for larger rooms
  • Running costs higher than gas or solid fuel
  • Flame effect, while impressive, is not a real fire
  • Dependent on electricity – won’t work in a power cut

Solid Fuel Stoves

Best for: homes with or without a chimney,
those wanting a real flame

A wood burning or multi-fuel stove gives you a genuine fire with all the warmth and atmosphere that comes with it.

More involved to install than an electric fire but the result is an exquisite focal point that heats a room efficiently and looks stunning doing it.

Pros

  • Real flame – nothing replicates the genuine article
  • Excellent heat output – can be a primary heat source
  • Lower running costs than electric, especially with good quality logs
  • Adds significant character to a room
  • Works without electricity
  • Wide range of styles from contemporary to traditional
  • Multi-fuel models offer flexibility on fuel type

Cons

  • Higher installation cost than electric
  • Requires ongoing maintenance – annual service and chimney sweep
  • Fuel storage needed
  • More hands-on to operate than electric or pellet

Pellet Stoves

Best for: those who want a real flame
with minimal effort

Pellet stoves give you the look and warmth of a real fire with the convenience of an automated appliance. They self-ignite and with their auto-feeder they can be controlled from your smartphone.

The best of both worlds for homeowners who love the idea of a stove but not the idea of tending it.

Pros

  • Automated ignition and pellet feeding – minimal effort
  • App controlled – set timers and adjust from your phone
  • Very low emissions – cleaner burning than log stoves
  • Consistent, programmable heat output
  • Sustainable fuel source – pellets are a renewable by-product of timber
  • Defra approved models available for smoke controlled areas
  • Smaller flue pipe required than a traditional log burner on select models
  • Newer models feature battery back-up for use during power cuts
  • Thermostat control available to maintain your preferred room temperature

Cons

  • Some models dependent on electricity for automated functions
  • Higher purchase price than equivalent solid fuel stoves
  • Pellet storage required – must be kept dry
  • More complex servicing than a standard stove
  • Some models won’t operate during a power cut

5/5

Could not rate higher - the team were absolutely fantastic at every point of the journey. The new fireplace and stove were fitted in the summer and we are thrilled! It looks incredible and has seen plenty of use over the last month or so and has completely transformed those cold evenings indoors 😄

Really happy with our Media Walls and British Fires organised by Chris and Jacqueline. The workmanship is superb, and both setups offer a real 'wow' factor as you enter the rooms. Chris (and team) were incredibly neat and tidy and I can only recommend them if you're considering either a cinema room, a lovely warm fire or TV room refresh.
