The largest room in my house is a combined kitchen/dining room. Unfortunately there's no expanse of wall suitable for putting a radiator on.

There is however an open fireplace, that I've ripped everything out of so it's literally just a hole now. There's a gas available next to it. My plan was to get a gas stove or fireplace installed there.

However I've been told that they're not suitable for constant use - if run constantly they'll break down or require replacement much sooner. I won't be running them constantly - the room is insulated, and will probably only require heating three months of the year for two/three hours a day. Will this level of usage be a problem or am I worrying too much here?
