Why County Durham Homeowners Choose Us

Why Choose a Gas Fire for Your Durham Home?

Gas fires offer a brilliant combination of convenience and ambience. Unlike traditional wood-burning fires, they don’t require you to chop wood, clean up ashes, or worry about ventilation. With a simple flick of a switch (or even a remote control!), you can enjoy instant heat and a beautiful flame. Gas fires are also a cost-effective heating solution, particularly when used to heat a single room.

Gas Safe Installation: Safety First, Always

Your safety is our top priority. That’s why all our gas fire installations are carried out by Gas Safe registered engineers. This means we’re fully qualified and insured to work on gas appliances. We adhere to strict safety regulations to ensure your new gas fire is installed correctly and operates safely and efficiently. Improper installation can lead to dangerous gas leaks or carbon monoxide poisoning, so it's vital to choose a reputable, registered company like Preferred Gas.

What to Expect During Your Gas Fire Installation

We strive to make the installation process as smooth and hassle-free as possible. Before we begin, we'll conduct a thorough site survey to assess your existing gas supply, chimney or flue, and ventilation. We'll then discuss the installation plan with you in detail, answering any questions you may have. During the installation, we'll take care to protect your property and minimise disruption. Once the fire is installed, we'll perform rigorous safety checks to ensure it's working perfectly.

Servicing and Maintenance: Keeping Your Gas Fire Burning Brightly

To keep your gas fire in top condition and ensure its continued safe operation, we recommend annual servicing. Our Gas Safe registered engineers can carry out comprehensive safety checks, clean the appliance, and identify any potential problems before they become serious.
