Imagine arriving at your house early in the morning, cold. From the cold, your toes curl; suddenly, behind glass, you see a thin column of flames flashing. It sets up quickly, is elegant and warm. This is best gas heat available at The Living Fire Centre.

Not relics in iron and soot are gas stoves from this brand. They are striking, useful, conversation starters and centerpieces. The bright, exact flames leap to life at a tap. Not constant fidgeting, not guessing, not kindling all about your floor. Actually, a visitor once inquired whether I “ordered fire from the future”. Often, the simplicity surprises those who are new.

Maintaining Not a hassle, shockingly. Though the periodic check-up helps, you will want to wipe the glass again and then; it is nothing like dragging logs or emptying ashes. Gas equals less stress and more leisure time relaxing with a glass of red or a cup of tea. You will see lot more of your sofa, believe me.

Design possibilities fit ultramodern taste as well as old soul. Some models have elaborate cast-iron embellishments and seem absolutely royal. For the minimalist who wants their living space to feel breezy and modern, others cut a neat, smooth silhouette. Visual impact? Consider it as slipping a contemporary painting into an antique portrait museum. People stop, gaze, wonder, even experience jealousy. Real confession: my neighbor visits more lately, usually to sit by the stove.

Like me, you find great relief in the quick warmth if you are sensitive to cold. There is no ostensible lag-time. And those who suffer with allergies or loathe smoke stand to gain much here—no mess or lingering scents. It is neat, effective, even the dog seems to appreciate. He parks near the flames and won’t move till treats are available.

Still another thing are smart controls. Would like change the flame on your phone? One could say that is feasible. The gadget-minded will find great delight. Toggling controls is just as simple for those less tech-savvy than turning on a light switch. Predictability gives one some sort of comfort.

Does running a gas vehicle cost? Depending on what it is. When comparing monthly bills before and after, the difference was not particularly great. Even so, every house is unique. Pressing one button and experiencing the cold run away, chased into the corners was always the same.

Selecting any new fixture raises some interesting issues. Will the color coordinate your walls? Does installation prove difficult? Most vendors have plenty of advice, and the stove usually shows up with easy, straightforward instructions. If you, like me, find long instruction books objectionable, try phoning a professional if you find yourself stuck. It’s quick work; sundown will relax you in front of your vibrant fire.

Everybody should be happy about where they live. More than you might think, a little warmth, some flair, and a simplified schedule may change everything. Sometimes one small change—such as installing a gas stove—turns ordinary tasks into pleasures. One should celebrate that.
