Fire (Heating)
Gas & Electric Fire Installation, Fitted Properly
Whether you're replacing a dated gas fire or adding a modern electric fire, Element installs it to the right standard for the appliance — across Harrogate, Knaresborough, Ripon, York, Skipton, Bradford and Leeds.
Getting the Right Fire for Your Room
A fire is as much about how a room feels as how it's heated. Getting the size, style, and fuel type right for your space matters — and for gas fires, getting the installation right matters for safety as well as performance. Ventilation calculations, room size, and placement are all key factors we assess before recommending a system.
Signs It's Time for a New Fire
- Your current fire won't ignite reliably, or the pilot light keeps going out (gas)
- Sooting, staining, or unusual smells around the fire
- The fire no longer heats the room as it used to
- Visible wear, cracking, or a dated look you want to update
- Hot spots or uneven heat from an electric fire's elements
- You're renovating and want a fire that suits the new look of the room

Frequently Asked Questions
Do electric fires need Gas Safe registration?
No — Gas Safe registration applies to gas appliances. Electric fire installations are electrical work, carried out safely but under different regulations to gas.
How long does installation take?
Most installations are completed within 1 to 3 days, depending on the complexity of the job and the condition of your existing setup.
Do I need a chimney or flue for a gas fire?
Most gas fires need some form of chimney or flue system. Some use an existing chimney fitted with a steel chimney liner, others use a balanced flue that runs directly through an external wall to a terminal box outside, and some models are flueless. We'll assess this during the survey and explain what's suitable for your room.
