Gas fires are becoming a more energy efficient and environmentally responsible choice to heat your home.
Rinnai has an extensive range of gas fires to choose from, including free standing or built-in fires with a stylish range of frames to suit your homes interior. If your home doesn’t have an existing fireplace it can easily be built into a new or existing timber wall frame.
Rinnai’s latest addition to the gas fire family is the NEO. It has been specifically designed for NZ homes with a streamlined appearance. It combines safety with aesthetics – featuring a toughened glass dress guard. The NEO easily heats large areas and has an energy rating of 4.1 stars, which is excellent for a gas fire.
The NEO comes with a convenient manual operation control pad, or alternatively a Radio Frequency Electronic Timer Remote option, which allows you to pre-set the fire to come on anytime you wish, day or night.
The Symmetry gas fire, also by Rinnai, can be installed with a built in heat transfer system using either a floor vent or ceiling outlet: just flick the switch to turn it on. This fire uses direct flue technology so the room air never mixes with the air for combustion, keeping your family healthy.

Do you run from one area in your home to another and experience excessive changes in temperature? The answer to this is an Air Transfer system by DVS.
The Heat Transfer system will send heated or cooled air from your main room with a great heating/cooling source, to other areas of your home that require extra heating or cooling.
The system is fully ducted and can be used as a standalone system or in conjunction with an existing DVS system. This is a great option if you have a heat pump or fire in your lounge but its heating/cooling effects aren’t felt anywhere else in the home. The system will also improve the air quality in your home.
Air is passed through an in-line filter ensuring that airborne particles aren’t transferred from your living area to other rooms in your home.
Mitsubishi Electric offer a range of heat pumps and air conditioners which are both energy efficient and quiet, and have features such as humidity regulation, air purification and a 7-day timer.
