Gas fires do not require to be cleaned after every use and require almost no maintenance during and after use unlike an open fire which must be cleaned and built back up before being able to be lit again .
Portable Gas Fires can be moved into whichever room you require heating, with almost no trouble.
You can adjust most Portable Gas Fires to be as hot as you want them to be , meaning that you will not get too hot or too cold when using one.
Gas Fires, unlike log fires, do not have to keep being topped up with wood and coal to give off heat, nor does the heat fluctuate in its' intensity.
Arguably, Gas fires are much safer for both young children and small animals than open fires as there are no flames which they could possibly touch, or sparks that could fly off the fire and cause them harm or distress. There is also less risk of a more serious 'House Fire' when using a portable gas heater as there is no logs/Coal being burnt there is no build up of creosote in a Chimney (When not swept away creosote can cause a serious chimney fire.)
Portable Gas Fires offer a stylish alternative to the open fire. As they can be bought in a broad range of colours and designs, gas fires can blend in nicely with your home or even act as a piece of 'stand-out' furniture.
Advantages:
-Feels Homely
-Smells Good
-Cheaper Than Other Heating Alternatives
-Can Give Off Lots of Heat
-More Eco-Friendly Than You Might Expect
Disadvantages:
-Lots of Heat is Lost Through The Chimney
-Can Make a Room Smoky
-Has to be Constantly Maintained
Log Fires both look and smell great, and are good to sit around with your family on cold days. The smell of various burning woods is described as both comforting and relaxing by many people who enjoy heating their homes through the use of a wood fire.
A log fire is considerably cheaper to use than most other heating methods. foraging for twigs and other scraps of wood for your fire makes not just for a fun activity, but also helps you to save further money on fuel costs.
Though it cannot be controlled like a gas fire, an open fire can give off lots of heat which radiates throughout the house due to much of it rising through the chimney breast and into other rooms upstairs.
Logs are a carbon neutral fuel source meaning that when burned they do not contribute to or reduce the amount of carbon within the atmosphere.
