Rinnai 950 / 1250 Gas Fire
Verified3 reviews
The best and super energy saving – I love my fireplace as gas heating is warmer than air conditioning. I was super impressed by its energy efficiency, my gas bill was half of what I thought it would be! It heats my open plan home perfectly and I even have a void next to it and it pushes the heat past it to the downstairs. It was the best purchase I made for my new home! Highly recommended this brand and model

Wonderful quality gas fire BUT – We purchased our Rinnai 1250 gas fire for our “cold” Tassie winters in 2019, but yet to use it for the purpose of purely heating. We have got ours going for some ambience only and the flame controls is easy with the slim remote. But.....what we did not foresee nor did we do our homework on is that the fan is hardwired to “full time on” when the gas fire is turned on! And the fan is not exceptionally quiet either despite what some YouTube videos seem to say. Even at the low flame settings which is then to correspond with the fan speed. To be honest had we’d known this I doubt we would have not purchased this unit and gone with a manufacturer that has the fan on a seperate control to enable just simple flame ambience. Unless of course Rinnai comes up with solution here.

Hi Ron V, Thank you for your review. The Rinnai 1250 log fire is classed as a space heater, and is not a designed to be a decorative log fire. The flame and log effect produces heat and if the heat from the flames are not removed by the fan, this can cause overheating problems and cause the unit to shutdown.
If you require any further assistance on your query, please contact our Technical team on 1300 555 545 option 3.
Thanks Rinnai Australia
Exceptional quality Gas Fireplace – Modern looking fireplace that actually heats up the area efficiency. The fireplace looks great and is quiet unlike others we had a look at. We chose the pebbles option with the black trim which looks great. The only maintenance we need to go every week is vacuum the dust filter. It has temperature settings or flame settings on the remote. The temperature control works well at maintaining the set temperature. The fireplace effectively heats up our 90m2 open living area with 2.7m ceilings. We use it for around 6 hours a day every single day over winter with the temperature set to 22 degrees and pay around $500 for 3 months.
The only complaint would be the massive ugly remote that looks like it came from the 1980s when TV remotes first became a thing. For a modern fireplace Rinnai could have surely designed a remote to match. I got rid of the remote and replace it with a universal remote.

Hi Rinnai Australia, Great job with the design and engineering that went into this product. This a good example of a quality product. The engineers may have over engineered the remote which has compromised the look but at least it's indestructible.
Thanks again for this fantastic flame fire heater. The team responsible need commended for their great work!
