Create a mesmerising focal point in your home with a reliable and innovative gas fireplace.
In 2023, the Victorian government announced that gas connections in new homes would be banned from 2024. Starting January 1, 2024, any new residential build, including subdivisions and public and social housing, will be exclusively connected to electricity. So, what does this mean for your existing or future gas fire? We sat down with the red-hot experts from The Gas Log Fire Company to find out, and the information was promising. In good news for homeowners, builders and contractors, gas fireplaces can still be installed in new houses on or after January 2024 using LPG bottles.
All the models stocked by The Gas Log Fire Company, including Real Flame, Regency, Kemlan and Heat & Glo, can be run using LPG gas bottles. “Designed with versatility and customer satisfaction in mind, one standout feature of our products is their compatibility with both LPG gas bottles and natural gas lines,” says Mark O’Brien, owner of The Gas Log Fire Company. “This dual-fuel capability provides our customers with the flexibility to choose the energy source that best suits their needs and preferences.” Whether you opt for LPG (out of necessity or preference) or natural gas, these fires will enhance your home environment and add value to your property.
Gas fires are renowned for their exceptional performance. They are not merely decorative; they serve as highly effective heaters, warming your home and creating a cosy and comfortable atmosphere.

When it comes to aesthetics, the fireplaces shine brightly thanks to captivating flame patterns and impeccable attention to detail. With realistic and dynamic flames and intricately crafted logs that mimic the appearance of natural wood, these astonishingly lifelike fires evoke the ambience of a traditional wood-burning fireplace without the hassle. “In essence, our products represent the perfect marriage of form and function.

For those who intend to use an LPG gas bottle with their gas heater, you’ll be happy to know they come with numerous advantages.

Plus, with built-in safety valves and leak detection systems, they’ve never been safer to use. LPG is a clean-burning fuel that produces minimal emissions, meaning it is also an environmentally friendly choice for heating. Readily available, LPG gas bottles are incredibly durable, providing a reliable and long-term energy source.
