Well, then you may be interested in converting your woodburning fireplace to a gas insert. 

You have many options. Listed below are a few. Contact us for more details on each type and what will fit best in your budget.

What Do I Need to Know?

• A chimney inspection. A complete chimney inspection to make sure your chimney is in good working condition.
• A chimney sweep may be necessary to clean out any buildup on the liner or chimney.
• You will need to arrange for a gas line to come into your house, connecting it to the area near your fireplace.

Choose the Type of gas fireplace you want

•  A gas insert fits into your existing fireplace. You will purchase gas logs that look very similar to natural wood. The chimney will need to be lined with a stainless-steel liner. This is for safety reasons.
•  A Direct Vent Gas Insert has a sealed firebox and a venting system. A vertical, collinear venting system is needed. These are two pipes, one for bringing fresh air in which creates combustion. The other takes out combustible byproducts. Direct Vent Gas inserts are the safest for those who have lung issues like asthma. They run with 85% efficiency and protect indoor air quality.  
• Vent-Free Gas Insert. A vent-free gas insert will turn your existing woodburning fireplace into an attractive and efficient heat source. Vent-free gas inserts do not require a chimney. This may be a more affordable choice for you.
