Frequently Asked Questions
Are gas fireplaces efficient for heating?
Direct-vent gas inserts reach 70–85% efficiency and make excellent zone heaters — warming the room you actually live in so the furnace can rest. Open wood fireplaces, by contrast, often lose more heat than they add.
Can you convert my wood fireplace to gas?
In most cases, yes — a gas insert fits into the existing masonry opening and vents through a liner in your chimney. We’ll confirm sizing and venting on a site visit.
How often does a gas fireplace need service?
Annually. The service covers glass and burner cleaning, log placement, pilot and ignition checks, and a combustion-safety inspection — quick, inexpensive insurance for a safe hearth.
