Our FAQ’s About Fireplaces and Stoves

Browse our frequently asked questions that we here often from our customers about the fireplace and stove products we sale and install. Feel free to reach out to our team if you have other questions or can’t find your answer below.

Gas Fireplace: A self-contained unit that can be installed in any room without needing an existing fireplace or chimney. Ideal for adding a cozy fire feature to a new space.

Gas Stove: A freestanding heating unit with the appearance of a traditional wood stove but powered by gas for convenience.

Gas Insert: Designed to fit into an existing wood-burning fireplace, converting it into a more efficient and low-maintenance gas-powered heat source.

Not always! Many gas fireplaces and stoves use direct vent technology, which vents exhaust gases through a small pipe that can exit through an exterior wall. This makes them a flexible option for homes without a traditional chimney. Vent-free models are also available, but these are best suited for well-ventilated spaces.

Yes! Wood-burning stoves and wood-burning inserts are much more efficient than open fireplaces. They are designed to burn wood more completely, generating more heat and reducing heat loss through the chimney. This makes them an excellent option for heating your home while still enjoying the warmth and ambiance of a real wood fire.

Proper maintenance depends on the type of unit:

Gas Products: Schedule annual inspections to check the burners, vents, and connections. Clean the glass regularly to maintain a clear view of the flames.

Wood Products: Clean the firebox after each use and have the chimney or vent inspected annually to remove creosote buildup.

General Care: Use the recommended fuel type and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for operation and cleaning.
