Masport Heating NZ, together with Nectre, Dimplex and Real Flame are leaders in flame technology offering Central Otago homeowners more options than ever  to introduce flame into their homes.

Their wide range of wood and electric fires, which include outdoor fires, are designed and produced with South Island properties in mind using renewable fuels to both heat and create ambience in the home.

“Kiwis are looking for new solutions to heat their homes but are increasingly conscious of the impact on the environment,” says Masport NZ managing director Mike Daish. “The latest linear fireplaces from Dimplex and Real Flame deliver an exciting new design concept that uses simulated, lifelike electric flame effects to mirror the beauty of a real fire.”

He says the Real Flame Ignite Xl range is an optimal electric alternative to gas or wood fireplaces.

“ The range is visually impressive with sleek and modern design features that are paired with stunningly realistic flame effects. The semi-matte outer frame is slim and the edge to edge glass showcases the beauty of the flames from any angle.”

Real Flame Ignite Xl fires are easy to install with no requirement for local authority permits, flues or fuel supply.

“ The fire just plugs into the wall socket,” says Mike. “The lower cost of these models compared to their gas and wood counterparts is also attractive and they are ideal for Central Otago homes. Without the need for council permits the fires make a great addition to apartments or spaces where a wood or gas fire would not be possible.”

“The ambience of an electric fire can beautifully complement the existing heating in a home. They are quieter than a heat pump and work well paired with panel heaters to provide a whole heating solution. People can enjoy them with or without the heat option on for all-year-round comfort.”
