Like you would for a new build, you also need to decide if the fire is your primary, secondary or occasional heat source.
It will also depend on the extent of the renovation that you’re undertaking. For example, a simple living room renovation will involve less planning, work and cost than a major extension or structural alteration. If you’re simply undertaking a smaller renovation or home update without any major structural work, a retrofittable gas insert fireplace might suit you (and won’t cause much disruption).
Escea’s DFS730 Freestanding gas fireplace is ideal for replacing an old freestanding wood burner, whereas the DF700 is the best option for retrofitting a fireplace into an existing cavity or traditional surround.
If you’re installing a completely new fireplace and have the space to build a surround around the fire, then any of the Escea fireplaces will suit – just work out how much heat you require and a design or style that you like.
To ensure you get the right fire for you and your home, it’s best to visit your nearest dealer and talk through your specific requirements with them.
