There are several reasons why someone might choose a gas fireplace:
Gas fireplaces are versatile and can be installed almost anywhere in your home. They still do require a chimney, however the chimney can be a simpler install not requiring it to go up through the roof. People like to install gas fireplaces as a back up in case the power goes out, the unit will work and the heat will radiate to keep the area warm (no fans will work if the power goes out).
Gas fireplaces are more energy-efficient than wood-burning fireplaces, which can lose a lot of heat through the chimney. A gas fireplace is a great way to heat a room without wasting energy or money.
Gas fireplaces require very little maintenance, especially compared to wood-burning fireplaces. There are no ashes to clean up, no logs to chop, and no chimney to sweep.
Gas fireplaces are safer than traditional wood-burning fireplaces because there are no sparks or embers to worry about. They also don’t require you to store flammable materials like wood or kindling, which can be a fire hazard.
Each home is unique, of course, and there are lots of options to choose from. To get you started, here are our most popular fireplaces.
