Looking to Get That Dormant Gas Fireplace in Your Home Working or Considering Converting Your Wood Burning Fireplace to Gas?

Repairing your gas fireplace or upgrading a traditional wood-burning fireplace offers several key benefits. A properly serviced or upgraded unit improves safety, ensures efficient heating performance, and reduces energy costs. Modern gas systems provide consistent warmth with easy operation, while upgrading from wood to gas eliminates the mess, smoke, and maintenance associated with traditional fireplaces. 

Convenience

Gas fireplaces offer instant heat and ambiance with the flip of a switch, no wood hauling or ash cleanup.

Efficiency

They burn cleaner and more efficiently, providing consistent warmth with less heat loss than wood-burning fireplaces.

Safety

No sparks or embers mean a reduced risk of chimney fires, making them a safer option for your home.

Environmental Impact

Gas fireplaces produce fewer particulate emissions, contributing to better indoor and outdoor air quality.

Gas Fireplace FAQs

The three main types used in U.S. homes are:

  • Direct Vent Fireplaces: Vent combustion gases outside through a wall or roof, drawing fresh air from outside, most popular and efficient.
  • Vent-Free (Ventless) Fireplaces: Do not require a chimney or vent; burn gas cleanly and release heat directly into the room.
  • Insert Fireplaces: Installed into an existing wood-burning fireplace to convert it to gas.

No. Direct vent and vent free gas fireplaces do not require a traditional chimney.

  • Direct vent models vent through an exterior wall or roof.
  • Vent free models require no venting at all.


If you’re converting a wood burning fireplace, a gas insert can use the existing chimney flue.

Gas fireplaces are best for zone heating, warming the room or area where they’re located. While they can supplement your central heating system, they’re not designed to replace a full home HVAC system.

Maintenance is minimal but important:

  • Have your fireplace professionally inspected once a year
  • Clean glass fronts and log sets periodically
  • Check for dust, soot, or debris around vents and burners
  • Replace batteries in remotes or igniters as needed

With proper maintenance, gas fireplaces typically last 15–25 years. Components like blowers or ignition systems may need replacement sooner depending on use.
