There\’s nothing nicer than spending the winter evenings or the cooler winter afternoons curled up with a good book, a board game or a glass of wine by the fireplace. But just because not all Queensland homes are blessed with a classic wood-burning fireplace, it doesn\’t mean you can\’t access the beauty and benefits of one. Consider the more accessible and multi-functional option of a gas fireplace for a modern way to inject warmth and stylish comfort into your living spaces and turn your winter home into a haven of cosy comfort.
When comparing a gas heater to a wood heater, the main benefits of gas is the convenience and ease of installation, and the ease of use – a gas fireplace gives out a constant heat source, unlike a wood-burning fireplace that requires continuous attention (and a masters degree in kindle construction!).
While there is still some maintenance required with gas heaters – a gas fitter needs to service the unit every few years to remove any carbon build-up – gas fireplaces have the benefit of being cleaner than wood fireplaces, as there\’s no ash or mess to wipe up.
Plus, a gas fireplace is also more pet and kid-friendly (with no open flame or sparks to contend with!), and there\’s also the convenience to consider, as a gas unit can be turned on with the click of a button and takes approximately five minutes to reach its full visual impact (hello, ambience!).
