Electric fires and stoves have come a long way in recent years. Thanks to a raft of new features and techniques, it's now possible to produce some hugely effective 'flames' and maintain better regulation of temperatures thanks to new control settings. At RFC Services, we supply electric fireplaces from many of the leading manufacturers, including Dimplex, Stovax, Gazco, Evonics, Elgin & Hall, ACR, Broseley and Ekofires, suitable for homes and businesses, such as offices and hotels. These electric fires can create the ideal ambient temperatures without having to protect staff or customers from naked flames.

For those with a busier lifestyle, a gas fireplace may prove an ideal low-maintenance alternative to a wood burner. With styles to suit all tastes, gas fires and stoves are suitable for most types of property, with or without an existing chimney. Heat outputs from a gas fireplace tend to range from 2-7kW, with some of our premium models fitted with programmable remote-control units, allowing the stove to maintain a constant ambient temperature within a living space and maximise efficiency. At RFC Services we can also supply gas fireplaces that operate on natural gas and LPG depending on your preference.

At RFC Services, we work with homeowners and businesses with a yearning for a wood burning stove to take centre stage in their residential and commercial environments. We offer a fantastic selection of wood burners and multi-fuel stoves to suit all installation options. From those installed within an existing fireplace recess, inset into an existing fireplace, freestanding, or even with a new twin-wall chimney system, it has never been easier to choose a wood burner for your property. We supply a great range of wood burners from the UK's leading manufacturers including Pevex, Heta, Woodwarm, Hunter, ACR, Burley, Di Lusso and many more.

Aside from being one of Ipswich's leading supplier and installer of premium fireplaces, our Gas Safe-registered engineers are also on hand to service and repair any existing fireplaces throughout Suffolk and Essex. Poorly maintained or serviced gas fireplaces can cause unnecessary leaks, fires, explosions and life-threatening carbon monoxide poisoning. At RFC Services, we are well-versed in the servicing and repairing of traditional and contemporary gas fires and solid fuel burners. We recommend annual services to keep your appliances in optimum condition.

For efficient use of your wood burner, and to reduce environmental impacts, you need to burn the best quality kindling and firewood. Not all wood burns the same so selecting the right logs will save you resource in the long run. Kiln Dried logs are especially sought after for their moisture content of less than 20%, creating an optimum burn for your home fire. RFC Services supply premium stoves and fireplaces across Suffolk and Essex, as well as a range of kindling, firewood and firelighter supplies.

At RFC Services, we always have one eye on innovation. Consequently, we are increasingly supplying and installing state-of-the-art fireplaces that deliver warmth and comfort using bio ethanol. This form of heating is ideal for the eco-conscious. The fuel is produced from sugar beat and other cereal crops, making it a carbon neutral way to heat residential and commercial properties. The simple combustion process means you don't need a chimney, giving you real flexibility when positioning your bio ethanol fire or burner within your living or work space.

As specialists in an extensive range of wood burners, gas fires and stoves, as well as electric and bio-ethanol fires, we have a two-pronged approach to supplying a fireplace that's both visually stunning and a practical solution to maintaining a warm, cosy environment at home. As a friendly and knowledgeable family-run business, you can rely on us to provide honest, no-nonsense advice on the best possible fireplace for your needs and budget. If the idea of having a chimney at home does not appeal to you, you can still enjoy the benefits of a stylish, practical addition to your living space with a bio-ethanol fire.

There's nothing quite like the look and feel of a real fire in your own home. Aside from the supply and installation of premium-quality traditional and contemporary fireplaces, we also stock a great range of accessories to make your fire or stove as unique as your home. From rustic log baskets and companion sets to more contemporary fire guards and frames, you can add some much-needed period personality or state-of-the-art style to your fireplace. Whatever interior style or dcor you choose for your living space, we'll have just the thing to complement your fire or stove this season.
