Looking to bring warmth and elegance to your home with a 16 inch gas fire? Gazco’s Logic Convector and Logic HE gas fires each offer unique benefits and stunning flame effects—read on to discover which one is right for you.
For anyone looking to add warmth and style to their living space, Gazco’s Logic range of gas fires offers two standout choices: the Logic Convector and the Logic HE. Both are designed to fit beautifully into a standard fireplace opening and deliver a highly realistic coal-effect flame display, but each model brings its own strengths—whether you’re drawn to the inviting glow of an open-fronted fire or the refined performance of a glass-fronted design.
Let’s explore how these two fires compare, and what makes each a brilliant option in its own right.

Whether you choose the Logic Convector or Logic HE, both fires offer the same core collection of timeless front options—Arts, Wave, Chartwell and Winchester—making it easy to tailor the look to your interior.
For those seeking a more contemporary edge, the Logic HE expands on this by offering a wider range of styling choices. With additional fronts such as the Designio2 Glass, Designio2 Steel, Beat, Vogue Inset, Stockton Inset, and Dartmouth, the HE caters to more modern tastes while retaining all the classic options found with the Convector.

At the heart of the decision between these two fires is how you’d like your flame display to appear.
The Logic Convector features an open-fronted design, ideal for those who love the traditional aesthetic of an open flame gently flickering in the hearth. This open style also lends itself to a slightly broader flame appearance, with all the comforting appeal of a classic coal fire.
By contrast, the Logic HE is a glass-fronted fire that features non-reflective glass, ensuring a crystal-clear view of the flames while also creating a sealed combustion system. This glass front doesn’t just enhance visual depth—it also plays a key role in achieving the HE’s higher efficiency.

Both the Logic Convector and Logic HE deliver superb heat output, designed to bring comfort and atmosphere to the heart of your home. The Logic Convector offers an impressive efficiency of up to 68.5%, making it a highly effective solution for everyday heating.
The Logic HE takes things a step further, offering up to 89% efficiency thanks to its enclosed design. This makes it the go-to choice for those wanting maximum energy performance, particularly in well-insulated homes or modern installations.

When it comes to installation, both models are designed to fit neatly into a standard fireplace opening measuring 410 x 560 x 250mm (w x h x d). Both also typically require no additional room ventilation, helping to simplify the setup.
The Logic Convector is suited to homes with a conventional flue, such as a chimney, and is engineered to work seamlessly in these settings.
The Logic HE, meanwhile, is available with either a conventional or balanced flue. For homes without a chimney, the balanced flue model offers a highly practical solution, with some variants designed to be installed directly into the cavity wall—ideal for modern properties or extensions.

Flame realism is central to both models. The Logic Convector creates a beautifully authentic coal-effect display, delivering all the charm of a real fire with the ease of gas.
The Logic HE also features a realistic coal-effect, but adds an optional log-effect fuel bed for those who prefer the look of a traditional woodburning fire. Combined with the non-reflective glass front, this fuel effect adds extra depth and visual warmth to the experience.

Both models can be enjoyed with remote control operation for added ease and convenience.
Logic Convector models with remote control come with Gazco’s standard handset, allowing you to adjust the flame height and heat output without leaving your seat.
The Logic HE steps this up with a fully-sequential thermostatic remote control. This advanced system allows you to ignite the fire, adjust flame settings, and even maintain a preferred room temperature automatically—perfect for those who want more control over their home environment at the touch of a button.

Ultimately, the choice between the Gazco Logic Convector and Logic HE comes down to what matters most in your space. If you’re looking for an open-fronted coal-effect fire with traditional charm and good efficiency, the Logic Convector is a fantastic choice that delivers reliable performance and beautiful flame visuals.
If you’re after higher energy efficiency, sleek styling options, and the benefits of advanced remote control, the Logic HE offers a more feature-rich solution built on the same reliable foundation.
Whichever model you choose, you’re getting the best of Gazco’s engineering, flame realism, and design flexibility—wrapped up in a fire that’s as practical as it is beautiful.
