Why Choose a Natural Gas Fireplace?

Have you ever looked at a burning fire in a mountain lodge and longed to have your own at home to curl up and relax beside? With the variety of natural and propane gas fireplaces and inserts available today, having a cozy fire at home is easily possible.

With a gas fireplace for your home, you can enjoy the following benefits:

Fire prevention: With a gas fireplace, less creosote and soot coats the chimney, resulting in a smaller risk of dangerous chimney fires.
Affordable installation: The total cost for installing a gas fireplace is affordable compared to alternative fixtures and has a potentially high return on investment if you sell your home in the future.
Lower utility costs: With a gas fireplace, you can employ zone heating to focus your heating efforts on specific rooms and reduce your household utility expenses.
Eco-friendly use: Burning natural gas produces fewer air pollutants than burning logs.
Simple maintenance: Keeping your gas fireplace in pristine condition is much easier and faster than managing a wood-burning fixture.

What to Look for When Buying a Gas Fireplace?

Gas fireplaces are typically available in three different styles:

• Freestanding logs: Mimicking the look of natural wood logs, this freestanding fixture can be seamlessly integrated into a converted wood-burning fireplace. A gas line is installed in the fireplace, flowing to the logs and creating an open flame.
• Gas insert: Like the freestanding logs, a gas insert is used to convert an existing wood-burning fireplace and chimney. A gas insert is contained in a single unit and vented through the existing chimney.
• Built-in gas fireplace: For a more modern look, built-in fireplaces are installed as a decorative insert or freestanding fireplace, typically in spaces without an existing fireplace insert or chimney. These are typically vented through an exterior wall.

What Are the Best Upgrades to Look for When Buying a New Gas or Propane Fireplace?

When shopping for a new gas fireplace, you may be overwhelmed by the variety and features available today.
