The Ares is designed for customers who want the warmth and performance of an Ethos wood fire without the freestanding look. It can be installed into many existing open fireplaces or masonry surrounds, making it a strong option for upgrading an older fireplace into a cleaner, more efficient heating solution. For new builds or renovations without an existing masonry fireplace, the Ares can also be used with optional zero clearance components, allowing it to be built into suitable timber-framed installations when installed correctly by a qualified installer. What Makes Ethos Different? Most wood fires draw combustion air from inside the home, creating cold air movement and reducing heating efficiency. The Ethos Ares uses a patented EconAir system that separates combustion air from the home's internal air supply. Combustion air is drawn from outside and pre-heated before entering the firebox. This helps create hotter combustion, lower emissions, improved efficiency, and reduced firewood consumption. The result is a cleaner, more efficient insert fire that produces strong heat while maintaining the clean, uncluttered appearance of a built-in fireplace. Designed & Manufactured in New Zealand Every Ethos Ares wood fire is proudly designed and manufactured in Canterbury, New Zealand. Built using robust steel construction and modern manufacturing processes, the Ares is engineered for New Zealand homes and heating conditions. Ethos fires are backed by local manufacturing, local expertise, and a comprehensive 15-year firebox warranty. Available in Over 160 Colours The Ares is available with a wide range of premium powder-coated fascia finishes, allowing you to match your insert fire to your home rather than designing your room around the fire.

The Ares is an insert fire designed to be built into an existing masonry fireplace or suitable inbuilt installation. Genesis, Phoenix and Galaxy are freestanding fires. The Ares gives a cleaner built-in appearance with no freestanding body in the room. Can the Ares be installed into an existing fireplace? Yes. The Ares is designed for insert installations and is suitable for many existing masonry fireplaces. Final suitability depends on the fireplace opening, chimney condition, hearth, clearances and installer assessment. Can the Ares be installed into timber framing? Yes, but only when used with the correct optional Ethos Zero Clearance components and installed by a suitably qualified installer. Zero Clearance kits, flue kits and bases are sold separately and can be added depending on the installation type. How do I choose a colour? Ethos Wood Fires are available in a wide range of Dulux Duralloy and Pacific Gold powder-coated finishes. Download the Dulux Pacific Gold or Dulux Duralloy colour charts above and advise your preferred colour when ordering. Please confirm colour availability before purchase. Colours may display differently on screens, so we recommend checking a physical Dulux colour chart where accurate colour matching is important. What is the EconAir flue system? The patented EconAir system uses a dual-air flue arrangement that draws combustion air from outside the home and pre-heats it before entering the firebox. This improves efficiency, reduces emissions, and helps reduce cold draughts. Is a flue kit required? Yes. The Ares requires the correct Ethos insert flue system. The required flue kit depends on whether the fire is being installed into an existing masonry chimney or with optional Zero Clearance components. Please contact us if you are unsure which setup is required. Are custom colours available? Yes. The Ares is available with over 160 Dulux Duralloy and Pacific Gold fascia colour options. Please confirm colour availability before purchase. How long is the warranty? The Ethos Ares includes a 15-year firebox warranty. Need Advice?
