Gas heaters are good value for money and also very efficient. Gas heaters can run on both natural gas and bottled LPG gas, but you need to ensure you choose the right model for the type of gas you have available, as a heater designed to work with LGP won’t work with natural gas and vice versa. Lopi Fireplaces direct their fumes outside through a chimney or flue which removes carbon monoxide and water vapour from the home.
Gas heaters should be professionally serviced every few years to ensure they are operating safely and effectively. NEVER use an outdoor gas heater in your home, they do not have the same emission standards as indoor gas heaters and, if left running for a few hours can give off a dangerous amount of carbon monoxide and other gases.
