Installing a gas fireplace is a great way to increase your heating efficiency and enhance your home without having to remodel a room. A new fireplace used to mean a masonry chimney rising feet above the nearest roof. But not today. Many fireplaces install with a simple cut in the exterior wall for venting.
Modern gas fireplaces are easy additions to most remodeling projects. Using only a fraction of the floor space need by a traditional fireplace, their efficiency and heat output can rival a traditional furnace.
You have three options to consider when installing a gas fireplace. Which option your choose depends on your space and existing home. Many, if not most, gas fireplace models can be converted to use propane, and many wood burning models have gas jets added for heat-boosting potential on extra chilly days.
