  • What are Hotbox Gas Fires? 
A hotbox is a gas fire, which by its design, delivers a flame effect - combined with heat.

This category of fire typically delivers between 2.5 Kilo Watts and 3.5 Kilo Watts of heat.

To explain this heat measurement figure, a 1 Kilo Watt of Heat would be the equivalent of a 1 bar electric fire.

A hotbox has a box built around the flame, which controls heat loss to the chimney, and as a result it delivers more heat to the room than that of a basic "Coal Effect Fire".

Hotbox gas fires are generally fitted into a rectangular opening and for this reason are not generally suitable for fitting into a "cast iron fireplace".

How does a thermostatically controlled gas fire work?

How does a thermostatically controlled gas fire work?


The best way we can explain this to you, is by using your cooker - as an example. 
When you set the dial on your cooker to say GAS MARK 5 (or 190 degree on an electric cooker) - when the cooker reaches the required temperature, it automatically lowers down and holds your required cooking tempreture.
When you install one of our Thermostatically controlled gas fires - the same applies.
 
Simply set the dial on your new GAS FIRE , to the level of heat you find comfortable in the room. When the room becomes warmer than the level you want, the fire will automatically lower down to control the heat.
Equally so, if the room gets colder than your set heat level , the fire will increase its burn rate to give you the extra heat you expect n the room.

So very simply put,
  1. Set your new Thermostatically Controlled Gas fire to the cosy temperature you want and you will never have to change the dial again.
  2. Your your new Thermostatically Controlled Gas fire will maintain your required heat level in the room, when it's in use. 
  3. This saves your energy,and more importantly - saves you money !!!
