Gas Fireplaces swap your energy supplier for better deal

Saturday, August 15th, 2009

Having come to the end of our contract with our gas and electricity suppliers we decides to search online for a more competitive quote.
We have a Pembroke Full polish fireplace at home with a gas living flame insert which we do have on in winter or when we just want to use it as a display feature so along with the other gas items we have this fireplace is not the most efficient item so we do always try to get a good deal from the energy companies.
The gas insert with this fireplace is an input of 6.5KW with an output of 2.1KW so most of the heat goes up the chimney. They are primarily designed as a living flame decorative fire but you do get some heat off it.
Anyway the main reason for this blog is its an ideal time to change energy companies we found a good option from our same energy company but on online tariff which will save us £191 over the year so the moral of the story is as well as shopping round to get a good deal on the internet for your fireplace don’t forget your energy bill too there is a saving to be had too even from your existing supplier.
Those of you lucky people who burn wood as a fuel source I am not sure how to help you except speak to your local tree surgeon or local wood yard.
So don’t forget buy your Fireplaces from us we guarantee to be the best and have a look at uswitch.com for altering your energy supplier or just browse a better deal

Gas Fireplaces on the rise again due to steady prices

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

With the prices of our gas supplies remaining at a consistent level without the price hikes we have seen in recent years we are now seeing more movement again towards the use of gas inserts again. When we were suffering energy companies rising prices every 6 months it really struck fear into people using a gas fire as part of there fireplace and we saw a huge surge towards solid fuel as an alternative source in the winter however now the sales of stoves is not as mad as it was before Christmas but that is normal as the fireplace trade is exceptionally busy in the winter months.
With this return to gas sales we have increased our stock of gas hearths and gas inserts for all our fireplaces so we are sure we can have a constant supply from the manufacturers so we never run short of anything.
We do have a section on our website for Fires and Frets where you can buy these gas fires and frets as individual items if you just wish to replace your Gas Fireplace for something more modern or more realistic.
As usual we still offer all our packages for gas use so you can choose any package we offer and select the gas option and be assure it will fit the item you have ordered.
So if you do need any more help choosing a fire option please contact us we are always here to help
