Gas Fires Auckland

A gas fire turns on with a button and heats a living room in minutes, without the firewood, ash or council rules that come with a wood burner. Done right, it is clean and safe. Done wrong, a badly flued fire or a neglected heater can put carbon monoxide into the house.

We install inbuilt and freestanding flued gas fires, convert old open fireplaces to gas, and service and repair gas heaters across Auckland. Our certifying gasfitters handle the gas supply, flue, commissioning and certification, so the only thing left for you to do is choose the flame.

Pricing: quotes are free, and every job gets a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises on the invoice.

Types of gas heating we install

The right choice depends on the room and how you want to use it. For whole-house heat, gas boilers and hydronic heating are another option.

• Inbuilt flued gas fires set into a wall or cavity
• Gas inserts that go into an existing open fireplace and use a liner in the chimney
• Freestanding flued gas fires with a visible flue
• Flued wall heaters for bedrooms and smaller living areas
• Outdoor gas fires and heaters for decks and covered patios

Flued versus unflued heaters

A flued appliance sends its combustion products outside through a flue. An unflued appliance, like a portable LPG cabinet heater, releases them into the room. WorkSafe advises against using unflued gas appliances in small rooms, bedrooms or bathrooms, and says they should only be used in well-ventilated areas. Energywise recommends keeping a window open when one is running. Unflued heaters also add a lot of moisture to the air, which is the last thing a damp Auckland house needs in winter. For a permanent heat source we install flued appliances.

How It Works

Servicing and repairs

Gas fires and heaters need periodic servicing to stay safe and efficient. A service typically includes cleaning the burner and pilot assembly, checking ignition and the flame supervision device, inspecting the flue and terminal for blockages such as birds' nests, checking the glass seal on inbuilt fires, measuring gas pressure and checking for leaks. If you notice soot, a yellow lazy flame, a pilot that will not stay lit or a smell when the fire runs, turn it off and book in for gas appliance repairs before using it again. If you smell gas with the fire off, leave the room and call for gas leak repairs.

What affects the cost

Installation costs depend on the appliance, the length and route of the flue, whether an existing chimney needs a liner, building work around an inbuilt fire, and how far the gas supply needs to run. Some flue installations need building consent, and we tell you upfront if yours does.

Auckland homes and gas heating

Many Auckland villas and bungalows have old brick chimneys with open fireplaces that lose more heat than they make. A gas insert with a flue liner turns that into useful heat. Newer homes and townhouses often suit a flued wall heater or an inbuilt fire on an outside wall. Every installation is certified, and a registered gasfitter must install the heater, as Energywise points out.
