Benefits:

Gas fireplaces are easier to use and less work than traditional wood-burning fireplaces They have the convenience of an on/off switch and you don't need to worry about going to bed with burning embers still in the firebox: when the gas supply is shut off, the fire is extinguished immediately. Gas fireplaces eliminate the need for cleaning your hearth and generate no ashes, wood chips, bark, smoke or other residue from a wood fire. Compared to wood fireplaces, gas fireplaces vented to the outdoors produce much less carbon monoxide and particulate emissions.

Types Available:

• Gas fireplace inserts are meant to be installed in an existing fireplace cavity, to convert a wood-burning fireplace to use natural gas or propane. With this technology, the existing chimney must be relined with an approved vent.
• Factory-built gas fireplaces - also known as zero clearance units - are installed when there is no existing fireplace, typically during new home construction or as part of a renovation project.
• Free-standing fireplaces resemble wood-burning stoves. All surfaces are exposed, so these fireplaces tend to be more effective in supplying heat to a home.
