Rinnai gas fireplaces are designed as installed room-heating appliances, and the current Alfresco public catalogue confirms the Rinnai 1250 Gas Fire as a key model in the range. Its long landscape format is intended for larger living spaces where the fireplace needs to provide both heating and a strong architectural focal point.
Rinnai specifies a 1320mm visual width for the 1250. Manufacturer data lists gas input from 17 to 34MJ/h and output up to 8.4kW when using the specified short-flue configuration. Energy efficiency is rated up to 5.5 stars when installed using the approved extended-flue arrangement. Rinnai’s climate-based guidance also shows that the area a heater can serve changes substantially with local conditions, so the model should be assessed against the actual home rather than treated as a universal square-metre figure.
Installation planning is essential. The 1250 is an inbuilt gas fireplace, so cavity dimensions, gas supply, flue route, ventilation and finishing materials need to be resolved before the wall is completed. Rinnai offers fascia and burn-media choices, and an optional Wi-Fi kit is listed for the 950/1250 family, allowing the finished fire to be tailored to the interior.
Rinnai’s wider current Australian gas-log range includes smaller and larger formats, but customers should only compare models actually available through the retailer and suitable for the project. If the 1250 is the model on the page, use its exact installation manual and ordering guide for final dimensions and options.
For broader brand comparison, use Gas Heating or Indoor Gas Fireplaces; use this range when you specifically want Rinnai gas-fire products.
