Tips for Buying a Gas Fire and Improving Property Price

Written by Posted On Monday, 06 July 2015 02:54

A gas fire can make notable differences to your home and also add plenty of value to it too. However, getting the best investment requires you to know what you’re looking for – so here are some tips.

 

1. Determine the Function

Prior to buying a gas fireplace, it is important to figure out what role you want it to play within your house. Is it there to provide heat? Are you putting it in purely for design purposes? Or do you want the gas fireplace for some other reason? Be clear about the function of the fireplace. This will help you select the right product for your needs. Gas fireplaces come in many different forms, and it can be overwhelming to choose between them unless you are clear about its purpose.

2. Decide on a Trim

There is a lot more to a gas fireplace than meets the eye. Your fireplace can look very different depending on the color and trim that you select according to stanningleyfiresides.co.uk. Therefore, think carefully about how best to complement the look of your home. The fireplace should fit in with the current design elements that  you have in the space. After you know what you want, speak to a member of the Sierra Flame staff to talk over what you are interested in. They might be able to provide you with additional options or information.

3. Look Over the Fireplace Carefully

The fireplace you select can add a beautiful design element to any room, particularly when it is turned on. However, the fireplace is not going to be on all the time. Therefore, make sure you are happy with its appearance when it is not "burning."

4. Purchase from a Reputable Retailer

It is important that your fireplace is put in correctly. You also want to have good communication with your retailer in the event of any issues. Finally, should the unit have a problem going forward, you want to get it fixed as soon as possible. Therefore, work with a full-service retailer. Doing so will make the entire process much less stressful, and all you have to do is pick out the unit to start with!

5. Avoid Complicated Controls

 

Gas fireplaces are very different now than when they were first being sold. Most of these changes are for the better, although there are some models that are best to stay away from. For example, anything that has a complicated control system is bound to frustrate you going forward. Pick a unit that you can work with and that does not cause you any additional stress. Sierra Flame models are good choices; the remote is manageable and the thermostat is easy to understand.
