My landlords are obliged by law to check gas fires by law for carbon monoxide leakage. The last time this was done the contractor found it unsafe and disconnected it. I asked the property managing agent for a replacement. She said they would only replace it with an electric fire as they were phasing out gas fires.
My Landlords are the Crown Estate who also call themselves "Environmental Stewards" – surely they should be trying to find an alternative that is really energy efficient?
Surely newer gas fires are less dangerous and comparably cheaper than electric?… I would like to make some informed suggestions to the landlords to offer as a replacemnent…

Anyone had a gas fire fitted recently and can advise?… or,
Does anyone know about the cost efficiency of wall panel heaters?

I live in UK.
I don’t know how applicable Misha’s US link is – however, if you’re reading, much appreciated and the kind of informative answer with which I could positively negociate with landlord agents as the gas fire was fine.
