Gas Fireplaces Questions Answered
Common questions we receive about gas fireplacesfrom homeowners throughout Central Ontario.
Can I convert my wood fireplace to gas?
Yes! A gas insert fits into your existing fireplace opening and connects to your gas line. A liner is installed in your chimney for venting. It's one of the most popular fireplace upgrades we do—you keep the charm of your fireplace with none of the hassle.
Do gas fireplaces need a chimney?
Direct vent gas fireplaces don't need a traditional chimney. They use a small coaxial vent pipe that can exit through an exterior wall or roof. This makes installation possible in rooms without existing chimneys.
Are gas fireplaces efficient for heating?
Modern gas fireplaces are up to 70% efficient and excellent for zone heating. By warming the room you're in, you can lower your main thermostat and reduce overall heating costs. Many homeowners find significant savings.
Will a gas fireplace work during a power outage?
Most gas fireplaces work during power outages—they use a standing pilot light or battery ignition. However, features like fans and automatic starters may not work without power. We can recommend models with full power outage operation.
How often should a gas fireplace be serviced?
We recommend annual professional service to ensure safe operation, clean burners, and optimal performance. This also extends the life of your fireplace and maintains your warranty. Fun fact: the film that builds up on the glass during normal operation can permanently stain the glass if left too long, so it's important to have the unit cleaned when you notice buildup.
