At over 1300mm long, this is the fire that becomes the room. The Rinnai 1250's long landscape design makes a genuine centrepiece, wide, low and striking, and it's flexible enough to sit comfortably with just about any interior style. Behind the good looks sits Rinnai's high-performance heat exchanger, a rapid warm-up and a simple temperature-display remote, so it's built to take the chill off a big open-plan space in a hurry.

This particular model wears a bed of glowing ceramic stones behind a clean stainless-steel-on-black finish, a modern, architectural look. Add the optional reflective side panels and you get the illusion of an everlasting flame, plus a subtle, good-looking presence even when the fire's switched off.

It's also the most efficient built-in gas fireplace Rinnai has made, with an energy rating of up to 5.5 stars, so you can settle in and leave it running longer without wincing at the bill.

What you're getting:

• Serious heat for big rooms, up to 8.4kW, ideal for open-plan living
• Genuine warmth coverage, heating up to 69m² in very cold conditions, 82m² in cold, 110m² in cool and 125m² in milder weather
• Your choice of fuel bed, glowing pebbles or Australian Eucalyptus logs
• A clear, clean view, with a safety mesh guard that also cuts out distracting reflections
• Easy control, via a remote with room-temperature display and flame adjustment, plus auto-off mode
• Flexible power flueing to suit a wider range of installs
• Optional reflective side panels for that everlasting-flame effect
• Runs on your gas, available in both LPG and Natural Gas

One important note on the numbers: the fire is designed for new homes and major renovations, and the flue you choose affects performance. That 8.4kW output is achieved on a short flue, while the up-to-5.5-star efficiency is achieved on an extended flue, so the ideal setup depends on what matters most in your home. Cavity required is 570mm high x 1265mm wide x 570mm deep (minimum), with a visual opening of 1320mm wide x 620mm high. Available in stainless steel on black or black on black. Gas input runs 10 MJ/h low to 34 MJ/h high.

Because flueing and accessories aren't included, and the flue choice genuinely changes how this fire performs, it's well worth a chat before you order. Come and see us at Mowerland Bathurst and Lucknow and we'll help you get the 1250 specced exactly right for your space.
