Gas Fireplaces – Elegant, Efficient, and Innovative

Today’s Fireplace Xtrordinair gas fireplaces use direct vent technology to deliver clean, efficient heat without competing with your home’s air supply. They ignite at the push of a button, distribute warmth evenly across large rooms, and can be managed remotely from your couch. For Utah homes where winter heating costs add up quickly, a quality gas fireplace used for zone heating can make a meaningful dent in your monthly utility bills.

Gas Fireplace Inserts – Upgrade Your Existing Hearth

Traditional open-hearth fireplaces can operate at efficiency ratings as low as 15 percent. Heater-rated gas inserts from Fireplace Xtrordinair and Lopi can achieve steady-state efficiency as high as 87 percent. The insert slides into your existing firebox, a co-linear liner runs down the flue, and the result is a dramatic efficiency upgrade without tearing out your existing hearth — usually completed in a single day.

Wood Fireplaces – Classic Warmth with Modern Technology

For homeowners who want the authentic experience of a real wood fire, the Xtrordinair wood burning fireplace lineup delivers classic warmth backed by modern engineering. Catalytic and hybrid burn technologies pull more heat from every load of wood while reducing emissions, making these units a responsible and rewarding choice for Utah winters.

Popular Fireplace Xtrordinair & Lopi Models

Understanding the lineup is the first step toward a confident buying decision. Here is a breakdown of the most popular series and what makes each one stand out.

ProBuilder Series

The ProBuilder Series is a value-priced lineup of linear and clean-face gas fireplaces ranging from 24 to 72 inches wide. The ProBuilder 42 Linear heats rooms up to 1,250 square feet, and the ProBuilder 54 Linear steps up to 1,650 square feet. Each size is available in Millivolt, GreenSmart Basic, and Deluxe configurations so you can match the feature level to your needs and budget.

Premium Linear & Traditional Models

For a showstopping centerpiece, the premium linear and traditional collections offer larger glass viewing areas, bolder fireviews, and a wider selection of finish options. The Lopi 864 series is a strong example, featuring the Ember-Fyre burner, a realistic log set, and the ability to duct up to 30 percent of the heat output to an adjoining room.

Top Gas Insert Models (32 DVS, 430 Deluxe, 616 Deluxe)

Three Xtrordinair fireplaces stand out as top insert choices. The 32 DVS Deluxe heats up to 1,500 square feet with a large ceramic glass viewing area and the Ember-Fyre II burner. The 430 Deluxe features 430 square inches of ceramic glass that extends to the hearth for a clean-face appearance and includes Comfort Control for year-round heating management. The 616 Deluxe steps up to 616 square inches of glass and 2,000 square feet of heating capacity — the largest fireview in the insert lineup.

Wood Fireplace Models (42 Apex, 36 Elite, 44 Elite)

The Xtrordinair wood burning fireplace lineup includes the 42 Apex NexGen-Hybrid for large new-construction installations, and the classic 36 Elite and 44 Elite catalytic wood fireplaces. The 36 Elite heats up to 2,500 square feet with long, clean burns. The 44 Elite scales up for larger homes with the same catalytic efficiency and a generous glass viewing area.

Choosing the Right Model for Your Home

The right choice depends on your home layout, whether you have an existing firebox, and how you plan to use the fireplace day to day. The Croft Fireplace team can walk you through heating calculations and installation requirements to help you find the right fit with confidence.

Advanced Technology & Features

GreenSmart® Technology Explained

GreenSmart is the intelligent control platform used across Fireplace Xtrordinair gas fireplaces. It operates as an intermittent pilot ignition system, meaning the pilot only runs when the fireplace is in use — not continuously, which reduces your annual fuel draw. In thermostat mode, the fireplace responds automatically to room temperature, firing up when heat is needed and stepping back when the room reaches your set point.

NexGen-Hybrid™ Wood Burning Technology

NexGen-Hybrid combines a catalytic combustor with secondary reburn tubes to extract additional heat from gases that would otherwise escape up the flue. The result is a longer burn time per load, less creosote buildup in the chimney, and significantly lower emissions — an important advantage during Utah’s winter air quality advisories on the Wasatch Front.

Comfort Control™ Heating System

Comfort Control monitors room temperature and modulates the flame height automatically rather than cycling the fireplace fully on and off. The steady output maintains consistent comfort without temperature swings and reduces fuel consumption across a long heating season.

CoolSmart TV Wall™ Safety Feature

The CoolSmart TV Wall kit channels rising convective heat away from the wall above the fireplace, allowing safe TV placement above the firebox. For modern living room layouts, this removes a major design constraint and makes the popular fireplace-beneath-TV configuration genuinely practical and safe.

Installation Options for Fireplace Xtrordinair & Lopi

Zero-Clearance Installations

Zero-clearance fireplaces are pre-built to install directly against standard wall framing and combustible materials. This makes them the natural choice for new construction and remodels where a full masonry surround is not part of the plan, and it significantly streamlines the framing process compared to site-built alternatives.

Built-In & Wall Installations

Linear models from Fireplace Xtrordinair are engineered for flush-wall built-in installations where the unit sits within a finished wall and presents a seamless, frameless appearance. Tile, stone, drywall, and custom millwork all pair well with these units depending on the aesthetic you are after.

Fireplace Inserts for Existing Homes

A gas insert is the most cost-effective way to upgrade an inefficient existing hearth. The insert fits the existing firebox, a liner runs the flue, and a custom face panel closes off the opening cleanly. The job is typically completed in a single day with minimal disruption to the rest of the home.

Venting Requirements & Considerations

Direct vent gas fireplaces use a sealed co-linear system that draws combustion air from outside and exhausts through a separate liner. The Power Exhaust Vent Kit available on select models accommodates runs up to 100 feet with up to 12 elbows, making even challenging installation locations workable.

Design Your Dream Fireplace with the Firebuilder App

With the Firebuilder App, you can create a custom Fireplace Xtrordinair or Lopi fireplace that’s perfect for your home. Choose your model, select accessories, and even upload a photo of your room to see exactly how it will look with your décor. Croft Fireplace makes it easy to bring your vision to life.

Cost of Fireplace Xtrordinair & Lopi Fireplaces in Utah

Average Price Range by Type

Gas inserts from Fireplace Xtrordinair and Lopi typically range from $3,500 to $7,500 depending on the model and feature level. New-construction gas fireplaces start around $2,500 and reach $8,000 or more for premium linear units. Xtrordinair fireplaces in the wood-burning category range from roughly $3,000 for a standard Elite to over $6,000 for larger configurations.

Installation Cost Breakdown

A straightforward gas insert installation in Utah typically runs $800 to $1,500 for labor and liner materials. New-construction fireplace installations with full framing and venting range from $1,500 to $3,500 or more depending on complexity. Croft Fireplace provides itemized quotes before any work begins so there are no surprises on installation day.

Factors That Affect Pricing

Chimney height and condition, venting run length, gas line requirements, and finish materials like surrounds and mantels all affect the total investment. Homes with older masonry fireplaces sometimes need inspection and minor repairs before an insert can be installed properly.

Long-Term Heating Savings

Using a high-efficiency gas fireplace for zone heating allows homeowners to lower the central thermostat and heat only the rooms they are actively using. Over a full Utah winter, that approach delivers meaningful energy savings. For wood-burning households, the improved combustion efficiency of the Lopi and Xtrordinair fireplaces in the wood lineup means more heat from less wood each season.

Fireplace Xtrordinair vs Lopi vs Other Brands

Fireplace Xtrordinair vs Lopi Fireplaces

Fireplace Xtrordinair and Lopi share the same engineering, components, and core technology, including GreenSmart, NexGen-Hybrid, and Comfort Control. The main distinction is aesthetic. Fireplace Xtrordinair leans toward a premium, design-forward look, while Lopi offers a clean, versatile appearance that suits a broader range of home styles. For comparable models, heating performance is essentially identical.

Gas vs Wood Fireplaces

Gas fireplaces offer instant ignition, precise heat control, and minimal maintenance — you do not need to source firewood or clean ash. Wood fireplaces deliver an experience that gas cannot replicate: the crackle, the scent, and the radiant quality of a real fire. Modern Lopi and Fireplace Xtrordinair wood models burn far cleaner than older designs, making them a viable choice even during Utah’s winter inversion events.

Comparison with Other Brands

Compared to brands like Napoleon, Heat & Glo, and Mendota, Fireplace Xtrordinair and Lopi are consistently competitive on efficiency, warranty terms, and heating output. Both brands are manufactured domestically, which supports better parts availability and more consistent quality control at every price point.

Design Options & Customization

Log Sets, Glass Media & Interior Liners

Gas fireplaces from these two lines can be configured with classic log sets in oak, birch, and driftwood styles, or contemporary media like tumbled stone, river rock, and glass beads. Interior liners are available in reflective, matte black, and porcelain finishes that complement your surround and mantel choices.

Traditional vs Modern Design

Traditional designs pair log sets with arched openings and stone or brick surrounds. Modern designs favor flat glass, linear fireboxes, and minimal metal facing. The Croft Fireplace showroom carries working examples of both so you can see each style in person before you commit.

Accent Lighting & Decorative Features

Deluxe models in the Fireplace Xtrordinair gas fireplace lineup include Ember-Glo under-lit accent lighting that illuminates the media bed from below, creating a warm glow even when the heat output is dialed back. Adjustable top accent lights are also available on select models and can be controlled through the GreenSmart remote.

Custom Installation Configurations

See-through, corner, and three-sided installations are available on select models. See-through fireplaces are particularly popular in open-plan homes where the fireplace serves two adjacent rooms simultaneously, providing both visual continuity and shared heat output.

Design Ideas & Inspiration

Modern Living Room Fireplace Ideas

In contemporary homes, a wide linear Xtrordinair fireplace set flush into a tile or plaster wall is one of the most requested installations Croft Fireplace handles across the Wasatch Front. Paired with a floating hearth and minimal metal facing, it creates a dramatic focal point without competing with the rest of the room.

Rustic & Traditional Fireplace Designs

The 36 Elite and 44 Elite wood fireplaces pair naturally with brick or stone surrounds and substantial wood mantels, making them the right fit for craftsman, farmhouse, and mountain-contemporary homes. Gas insert models like the 430 Deluxe with a classic log set maintain the original character of an existing masonry hearth while adding modern efficiency.

Open-Concept Fireplace Layouts

In open-concept spaces, a high-output linear model or premium double-sided unit addresses the challenge of being visible and useful from multiple zones. Positioning the fireplace on a central interior wall maximizes its visual and thermal impact across the kitchen, dining, and living areas at once.

Small Space Heating Solutions

Compact ProBuilder Clean Face models in the 24-inch and 36-inch sizes deliver targeted zone heat for bedrooms, home offices, and finished basements without overwhelming the room. GreenSmart thermostat mode is especially practical in smaller spaces that heat up quickly and benefit from automated temperature management.

Maintenance & Care for Fireplace Xtrordinair & Lopi

Routine Cleaning Tips

For gas fireplaces, wipe down the glass a few times each season with a manufacturer-approved cleaner and check that the log set or glass media has not shifted out of position. For wood fireplaces, remove ash regularly but leave a thin layer on the firebox floor to help retain heat and simplify the next startup.

Annual Maintenance Requirements

An annual service visit is the single most important maintenance step for either type of fireplace. Gas service covers the burner, ignition system, heat exchanger, fan, and venting for obstructions or wear. Wood fireplaces with catalytic combustors should have the catalyst inspected each season and replaced when it shows degradation. The Croft Fireplace service team handles all of this and catches small issues before they become expensive repairs.

Common Issues & Troubleshooting

The most common gas fireplace issue is ignition failure, typically caused by a dirty thermocouple, a loose connection, or a depleted remote battery — most of these are resolved with a quick service call. For wood fireplaces, slow starts and smoky operation usually point to chimney draft issues: a cold flue that needs warming or a partial blockage that needs clearing. Unusual odors or atypical flame behavior are signals to schedule service promptly.

Warranty & Support

Most Fireplace Xtrordinair and Lopi fireplaces carry a limited lifetime warranty on the firebox and heat exchanger, with shorter coverage on mechanical components and electronics. Croft Fireplace handles warranty assessments and service for every unit we sell, so your first call is always to our team.

Safety Features & Performance

Direct Vent Safety Benefits

Direct vent gas fireplaces use a sealed combustion system that draws air from outside and exhausts through a dedicated flue liner, eliminating the risk of backdrafting combustion gases into the living space. The sealed glass front keeps the flame contained, and the outer cabinet stays cool to the touch on most models.

Indoor Air Quality & Efficiency

Because direct vent fireplaces draw all combustion air from outside, they contribute no indoor air quality concerns. For wood fireplaces, NexGen-Hybrid and catalytic combustion produce significantly fewer fine particulates than conventional designs and meet current EPA emissions standards — a meaningful consideration in Utah’s air-quality-sensitive Wasatch Front communities.

Safe Operation for Families & Pets

All Lopi and Fireplace Xtrordinair fireplaces meet current UL and CSA safety certifications and are installed by Croft’s licensed technicians in compliance with Utah building codes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Fireplace Xtrordinair fireplaces cost?

Fireplace Xtrordinair models range from approximately $4,000 for entry-level gas fireplaces to over $8,000 for large premium linear units. Gas inserts typically fall between $4,000 and $7,500. Installation costs vary by project complexity. Visit Croft Fireplace or stop by our showroom to request an itemized quote for your specific home.

Are Lopi fireplaces energy efficient?

Yes. Lopi gas fireplaces use the GreenSmart intermittent pilot ignition system, which eliminates the continuous gas draw of a traditional standing pilot flame. Heater-rated gas inserts in the Lopi lineup can reach steady-state efficiency ratings as high as 87 percent. Lopi wood fireplaces equipped with NexGen-Hybrid or catalytic combustion technology extract significantly more heat per load than conventional wood-burning designs.

Do these fireplaces work during power outages?

Select models in the Fireplace Xtrordinair and Lopi lineup are available in Millivolt configurations with a continuous pilot system that operates entirely without electricity — an excellent option for Utah homeowners who want reliable heat during winter power outages. GreenSmart-based models require electricity for ignition and control, though some support battery backup operation.

How long do gas and wood fireplaces last?

With proper annual maintenance, Fireplace Xtrordinair and Lopi fireplaces routinely last 20 to 30 years or more. The firebox and heat exchanger carry limited lifetime warranties. Fans, igniters, and electronic components have shorter service lives but are readily available as replacement parts through the dealer network. Annual service visits and early attention to minor issues are the most reliable path to maximizing the lifespan of your unit.
