Gas Heaters - Frequently Asked Questions

How does a gas heater work?

A gas heater is designed to burn natural gas or LPG to generate heat, which is then circulated into the room either by convection (heat transfer) or with a fan.

What is the difference between flued and unflued gas heaters?

Flued gas heaters are designed with a vent to funnel combustion gases outside, whereas unflued gas heaters release gases directly into the room, meaning they require an area with good ventilation.

Can you use a gas heater in a bedroom?

Flued gas heaters are safe to use in bedrooms with a better ventilation system, but unflued heaters should not be used in smaller spaces due to potential air quality and safety concerns.

What is a Gas Heater?

You may have heard of the term ‘gas heater’, but what does it actually mean? Gas heaters are designed to use natural gas or liquified petroleum gas (LPG) to produce warmth for indoor spaces. By burning gas and generating heat, they are a popular model for a range of homes, providing reliable heating wherever and whenever you need it most. From a cosy bedroom for a good night's sleep to warming up your fingers for a productive day in the home office, there are so many reasons to love a reliable gas heater during the colder months.

The Benefits of Gas Heating

Beyond the cosy warmth that gas heaters can instantly deliver into your home, there are also a wide range of other benefits behind gas heating that can make it a perfect option for your home. These include:

Cost-effective: The running costs of gas heaters are generally lower than many electric options, making it a more economical way to heat up the larger areas of your home.
Reliable heating: Gas heaters are one of the most reliable heating options for your home. Since they don’t rely solely on electricity, they work well even during power outages so you can stay warm when you need it most.
Variety of heating options: There is a wide range of gas heating models to choose from, so you can find the right fit for your home. From portable heating to flued, unflued and more, explore the types of gas heating options below.
Environmentally friendly: The use of natural gas and LPG heaters is known to have a lower carbon footprint compared to electric heating models, making it a cleaner alternative to your warm home.
Heat in an instant: Most gas heaters start producing warmth straight away, so you don’t have to wait for the room to heat up.

Types of Gas Heaters

While many gas heaters operate using a similar process to generate heat, there are a variety of gas heater types designed for different needs and situations. Whether you need a more portable model or want to heat up a large space, you can find the perfect heater model to suit your needs, keeping you cosy and snug all season long. Explore the range of models to find an option that best suits you:

Convector Gas Heater

Convector gas heaters are the definition of a traditional gas heater! Designed to heat up the air by processing it through a heated surface and circulating it using convection currents or a built-in fan, convector gas heaters are fast and efficient for the perfect warm night. Whether you need to heat up a large space or warm up fast, you can always rely on a convection gas heater.

Portable Gas Heater

Portable gas heaters are the ultimate way to stay warm wherever you go. Designed to move around between rooms with ease, these portable heater models are perfect to keep around when you need a little bit of spot heating or temporary warmth in well-ventilated areas.

Radiant Gas Heater

Radiant heaters work a little differently. Instead of heating the air, they are designed to emit infrared heat that directly warms people and objects in their path. While they won’t be as effective in larger rooms, they’re a great option to warm up smaller spaces or for fast and direct heat.

Flued Gas Heater

When you hear the term ‘flued gas heater’, this means that the heater is installed with a vent that safely channels any combustion gases outside. This makes them a super popular model for indoors, especially bedrooms and living rooms, where you spend most of your time.

Unflued Gas Heater

Unflued heaters vent any combustion products directly into the room, meaning they require adequate ventilation while they’re running. With a range of portable gas heater models available, they’re great to have on hand for those extra cold nights, especially for outdoors. However, they should not be used in bedrooms or any small, enclosed spaces without sufficient ventilation.
