What is a Gas Log Fire?
Gas log fires are low-maintenance, small gas heating systems that replicate the look and feel of a conventional fireplace. They're typically installed in a living room or master bedroom, often in an existing fireplace, and flued to the outside atmosphere.
Modern gas log fireplaces are a popular choice in homes across Australia. They deliver the warmth and charm of a traditional fireplace in a log cabin, complete with the flickering flames. However, the fact they run off a gas line means you can avoid all the hassle and mess of managing an open fire or a wood pile.
The range of gas log fireplaces to choose from typically falls into two main categories:
- Freestanding gas fires – available in a range of designs with classic shapes for traditional homes and rooms. Radiates heat from all sides and can warm a whole room quickly. They are easy to install and maintain.
- Inbuilt gas fires – save on floor space and complement the floorplan of your home. These heaters are often safer as they're typically installed in existing fireplaces, so children and pets cannot run around them. Note that if you don't have an existing chimney in place, it can be more costly to install inbuilt gas fireplaces.
Designed with flexibility and convenience in mind, gas log heaters come in a variety of sizes and designs. This means there's one to suit any home, from ultra-modern living spaces to traditional settings. And Metropolitan Air Conditioning is here to service, install or repair them all.
