What is a Gas Log Fire?
Gas log fires are perfect for recreating the inviting ambience of traditional wood-burning fireplaces, minus the inconvenience of stacking firewood.
These fires mimic their wood-burning equivalents but are fuelled by a reliable supply of natural gas or LPG to provide a constant heat source. The logs in gas fireplaces, which are fashioned from stone or ceramic, are purely decorative.
The advantages of installing gas log fires include:
- Instant, continuous heat
- Economical operation
- Eco-friendly operation
- Classy classic and modern designs
- Ambience-enhancing appearance
- No need for a stack of firewood
There’s a vast selection of gas log fires out there, with appropriate for every Australian home. Whether you desire the nostalgic warmth of a wood-burning fireplace or a contemporary system to match your modern home, gas log fires are designed with adaptability in mind.
Gas fires can effectively warm a single room or living area, and there’s arguably no gas heater that contributes more to the style and ambience of your home than a gas log fire.
Mr Emergency Heating and Cooling Melbourne has a team of skilled technicians ready 24/7 for gas log fire repairs and maintenance, ensuring your system is primed for the winter. We can also handle the installation if you’re considering enhancing your home with a new heater.

Gas Log Fire Options
There are two primary types of gas fireplaces: freestanding and in-built. Both options offer similar heating benefits, with the best choice for your home hinging on available space and personal tastes.
Freestanding Gas Log Fires
A freestanding fireplace stands independently, away from walls, and serves as a focal point in any room. When placed in a corner, by a wall or in the centre of a room, gas fires radiate heat from all sides. There’s a wide array of classic and contemporary styles to pick from.
Freestanding fireplaces are simpler to install and upkeep than in-built models, but they require additional floor space. These options can also be more challenging to childproof if there are young children around.
Built-in Gas Log Fires
Preserve floor space and keep up with modern, minimalist aesthetics with an in-built gas fire. These heating solutions are integrated into the wall, occupying minimal space. They are offered in both modern and rustic styles and a variety of sizes.
In-built models are often deemed safer for children and pets. However, they may need more time to warm a room as they emit warmth from just one side. They can also be pricier to install.
Regardless of the style you opt for, a flue will always be required. This is the slim chimney utilised for removing harmful gases from the home. If you already have a fireplace, you should have a flue installed. If not, a certified technician will install one with your new gas fireplace.
Gas Log Fire Energy Rating
The appeal of gas heaters lies in their efficiency and reduced operating costs compared to electric heaters. Natural gas and LPG heating costs around one-third of the running expenses associated with similar-sized electric heaters. Moreover, gas heaters are instant heaters, needing virtually no time to warm up. Talk about convenience!
If you switch to gas heating, you can anticipate your new system to have a high energy rating. Gas energy ratings can reach up to six stars, and you’ll find a variety of top-tier gas fires carrying a four, five or six-star energy rating.
The energy rating sticker will also inform you of the energy consumption per hour of a specific heater. You can use this information to calculate potential costs for a system even before making a purchase.
