HEATING , VENTILATION & INSULATION
I truly do feel for the consumer in today ’ s technology driven world which allows information to be made available at the click of button .
multitude of information available leaves the wellinformed questioning what they thought they knew . Statistics , technical data and numbers can be quoted to make any option appear to be the best option , but the best option cannot be summed up in a one direction approach . It takes a clear understanding between customer and supplier to even attempt to reach this objective . So , whilst I would love to be able to simplify this topic of contention , the truth is , the age old saying of ‘’ the devil is in the detail ’’ couldn ’ t resonate more appropriately .
For the purposes of establishing a baseline to begin from , all things being equal , lets tackle the question of relevance in terms of energy supply . Electric vs Gas , vs Bioethanol vs Wood … a minefield of options , and to this extent we should be celebrating the freedom of choice . There are indeed benefits and limitations with all 4 of these energy formats , so I am going to convince you which is best , as the basis on that position , would be choosing a particular model , of my selection that best represents what I am trying convince you on , versus providing an option that best meets the overall criteria .
Electric
Perhaps the fastest emerging market in the UK , and ticks all the boxes in terms of terms of not consuming a gas or solid fuel source . Thus , appearing to be the most environmentally friendly of the four options . Electric options have been challenged over the years due to the inferior flame quality , however modern advancements have now seen the introduction of holographic technology from leading brands Kalfire and Focus Creations , and these now levelled the playing field offering realistic flame patterns over the traditional rotary illuminated effect . The British Fire products appear to offer a great balance between quality and price point for traditional electric , however when viewed against the Holographic options , the differences are clear . This technology however comes at a price and therefore both technologies serve a place in the market pending budget and quality . As a heat source , electric element heaters on a large range of models offer the benefit
