The Difference Between Convected and Radiant Fires in Manchester
Gas fires come in many shapes and sizes. Finding the right one for your home can be tricky unless you consult a supplier or installer. In terms of heat there are two main types, radiant and convected. Most gas fires are radiant only which means it takes longer for the heat to filter into your living space. Although they can be very hot it takes slightly longer to warm your room.
Gas fires that have convectors will warm a room quicker. This is because they draw in cool air underneath the fire, this goes through a heat exchanger and is then convected out naturally. This in turn causes the air to circulate and as a result, warms your living space up quicker.
Which is best? Well there are many great radiant gas fires on the market that will work well in your home, however, we would typically recommend a fire with added convection if it’s your primary source of heat or you want to squeeze out that extra bit of efficiency.
For rooms that don’t need it we would potentially recommend saving on your initial cost and purchase a straight radiant. These are very broads points and as always we would strongly advise consulting a professional when it comes to convected or radiant fires in Manchester.
