Gas Reducing Valves

[aturner]

Hi All,
We have had a new glass fronted gas fire installed in our lounge. It is super efficient 90% and heats the lounge lovely. It has only two heat settings but even the low setting means we cant leave it on for long. Is it possible to reduce the output with a reducing valve or other device so that we can run it at a lower setting?
Hope someone can help.
Regards
Arthur Turner

No im afraid not. You cannot modify an appliance in any way.

You can get gas fires which have thermostatic control, so they will adjust themselves according to the room temperature. But i realise this is of little help now the fire has been installed!

Thank you very much for the advice, no way would I attempt to modify it, just thought there must be some way of safely turning it down like on an oven. Guess I'm stuck with turning it off every hour.
