    There's one here but in the almost 2 years I've been in the place I've never used it. Bit odd to find a fireplace-effect in an apartment anyway I think? Just takes up space and the place is badly enough laid out as it is.

    Is there anything to be said for another mass.

    Oh I love a good mass.

    Those flame effect things use crazy amounts of gas. The cheaper/older fashioned ones are better and pretty cheap/efficient to run.
    I have an open gas fire and I've never had a bill like the OP's. It goes on for a couple of hours in the evening to heat the place up, then it's off.

    I'd love a real fire, but it'd be a lot of work to get the gas out of the fireplace.

    Wasn't alot of work to remove it.
    Paid a RGI €30 to blank off the gas feed and did the rest myself.Fitted an insert stove in its place.
    Well toasty now.
    (Lugging bags of coal around is a bit of a pain in the arse though.)

    All the works and the boiler are behind the fire, hidden in the fireplace. I'd have to get them all moved, a wall-mounted boiler put in, and the like.

    Did you check the chimney was lined or whatever it is that means you can use something other than gas ?

    I originally had an oil fired system with a back boiler/open fire.
    When I changed to gas they removed the back boiler.The gas boiler is in the shed/garage.
    I now have a gas system to heat the rads and hot water and a non-boiler insert stove.
