Convert your wood burning fireplace to a new energy efficient gas fireplace insert

_______________________

Gas fireplace inserts are gaining considerable popularity as people come to realize how inefficient traditional wood burning fireplaces can be. Gas inserts feature an efficient co-linear direct venting system. This dual-liner system allows for direct venting through an existing masonry chimney with one liner to vent exhaust and the other liner to provide combustion air and maintain indoor air quality.

Convert Your Fireplace to Gas – A Modern Upgrade

If you’re tired of your unused wood-burning fireplace, it is time to convert your fireplace to gas. This modern upgrade is one of the most popular home improvements in Utah because it replaces the hassle of wood with the pure convenience of switch-on heating. Imagine coming home on a freezing winter evening and generating a cozy atmosphere instantly with the touch of a button.

When you decide to convert your wood burning fireplace to gas, you are choosing a cleaner and more efficient performance that significantly improves home comfort. Forget the hassle of hauling logs, cleaning messy ash, or dealing with smoke odors. Instead, enjoy a controllable flame that provides instant warmth. This upgrade simplifies your life and creates a reliable secondary heat source to keep your family warm during power outages.

Benefits of Gas Fireplace Inserts

The benefits of installing gas fireplace inserts go far beyond simple aesthetics. One of the primary advantages is high energy efficiency. Unlike open wood fireplaces that allow most of the heat to escape through the chimney, an insert is a sealed system that radiates heat back into the room.

You’ll also love the consistent heat output that gas provides. Easily adjust the flame height and heat levels using a thermostat remote, giving you total control over your environment. Furthermore, choosing to convert wood burning fireplace to gas is an eco-friendly heating option. Modern fireplace gas inserts produce significantly fewer emissions than wood, helping to protect the air quality in our Utah valleys.

Types of Gas Fireplace Inserts We Offer

We provide a diverse selection of high-quality units to fit any architectural style or heating need. Our collection includes:

Direct Vent Gas Inserts

These use a dual-liner system to pull in outdoor air for combustion while exhausting fumes outside, maintaining excellent indoor air quality.

Traditional-Style Gas Inserts

Designed with realistic log sets and glowing embers to mimic the classic look of a wood fire.

Our Fireplace Conversion Process

Transitioning to a more efficient home starts with our streamlined fireplace conversion process. We have refined our methods over 20 years to ensure every gas fireplace insert installation is handled with care. The journey begins with a detailed inspection of your existing fireplace to determine the dimensions and venting requirements. This is followed by a personal consultation where we help you with the insert selection, ensuring the unit matches both your heating needs and your home’s decor.

Our team manages the gas line installation, ensuring a safe and hidden connection to your fuel source. We then perform the insert installation and venting setup by running flexible liners through your existing chimney. After a rigorous safety test and walkthrough, we verify every component works perfectly and ensure you are fully comfortable operating your new system.

Wood vs Gas Fireplace – Why Convert?

When comparing wood versus gas, the differences in lifestyle and efficiency are night and day. The ease of use comparison is the most immediate factor; gas requires no prep work, while wood requires chopping, hauling, and lighting. Maintenance differences are also stark, as gas eliminates the need for ash removal and professional chimney scrubbing.

In terms of heating efficiency, gas inserts are designed to heat specific zones of your home, whereas wood fireplaces often draw warm air out of the room. Gas burns much cleaner, significantly reducing your environmental impact. When you convert fireplace to gas, you lower your reliance on expensive central heating and eliminate the recurring costs of buying firewood. This investment eventually pays for itself through reduced utility bills and reclaimed time.

Gas Fireplace Insert Cost in Utah

Understanding the cost to convert fireplace to gas is essential for any homeowner planning a renovation. In Utah, the average cost range for a fully installed gas fireplace insert typically falls between $3,900 and $8,000. This price varies based on several factors affecting cost, such as the size of the unit, the type of venting required, and the complexity of the gas line installation.

A high-quality gas fireplace is a sought-after feature for Utah homebuyers, often increasing the resale value of a property by a significant margin. It is a functional upgrade that makes your home more attractive and valuable on the market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I convert my wood fireplace to gas?

Yes, most traditional masonry or factory-built wood fireplaces can be converted using a gas fireplace insert. Our team will inspect your current setup to ensure it is structurally sound for the conversion.

How long does fireplace conversion take?

A standard conversion usually takes only about a half day, including venting setup and unit testing. If a complex gas line installation is required, it may add a few hours.

Are gas fireplace inserts energy-efficient?

Absolutely. Unlike open fireplaces, inserts are sealed units that prevent heat from escaping. They are designed to radiate heat into the room, making them an excellent source of zone heating.

Do gas inserts require a chimney?

They use your existing chimney as a channel for the new venting pipes, but they do not use the chimney itself for exhaust. This ensures a much safer and more efficient air exchange.

How much does a gas fireplace insert cost in Utah?

The cost to convert fireplace to gas typically ranges from $3,900 to $8,000 in Utah, depending on the model chosen and the specific installation requirements of your home.

Are gas fireplaces safe for indoor use?

Yes, modern units are equipped with many safety features, including 100% oxygen depletion sensors and automatic shut-off valves. Direct vent models are especially safe as they maintain indoor air quality.

Do I need a gas line installed?

If you don’t already have a gas line running to your fireplace, our certified technicians can professionally install one for you as part of the conversion process.

How often should gas fireplaces be serviced?

We recommend a professional service and inspection once a year, preferably before the heavy heating season begins, to ensure everything is in top working order.
