"I will start out saying, before now...this was our go to store for anything fireplace related. The last 25yrs or so we have bought atleast 5 stoves from them cause we have rentals that we installed pellet stoves in..These were our go to guys. We didnt even shop around..This store was our fireplace store even though they are 70 miles from us..didnt matter.. they were our go to store. They were always very prompt, reasonable and polite...However that was when the older gentleman (maybe dad??) ran the place and did the service. Now.. the young man that came to our house this last Friday, basically treated us like we were a royal pain in his a***. He changed the original appt to a different day. When he did get there he was an hour late. He diagnosed our stove... and "fixed" it..but realized the blower motor was out and he didnt have one on his truck. We bought this stove from them.. how does he not have parts to fix it on his truck? He drove 70 miles for this service call he should have the parts to build a new stove on his big F450. He told my husband he would try to get back on Monday to finish the job and gave us a $450 bill, (for 1 hour work) for service and travel. So Monday...when he didnt show... I called and the lady had him call me back and his attitude was horrible. Told my hubbs he didnt say he was coming back...so why would you leave a job open for over a week and not plan to come back and finish it? so that meant another travel fee..that big F450, that doesnt have all the parts they need, takes a lot of Diesel money! He sat on the phone for over 10 minutes arguing with us and telling us he was too busy to come back and finish the job til the next week. He also told us it was our fault cause we didnt call him sooner.. maybe so.. but his attitude saying it and his tone was very disrespectful. I will be going into Bakersfield today looking for a different repair man and from now on will be staying in town to shop for our new pellet stoves!"

A gas log fireplace should be inspected and serviced as needed once a year. Preventative maintenance can help keep your fireplace in working condition and save money in the long run by avoiding more costly repairs on parts that could have been fixed sooner with a regular inspection.
The cost difference between a gas fireplace and a wood-burning fireplace depends on the type of wood-burning fireplace installed. The cost to install a gas fireplace tends to be cheaper than the cost to install a brick wood-burning fireplace. Installing a gas fireplace costs about $3,600 on average, whereas the cost to build a masonry wood-burning fireplace can go up to $30,000. The cost to install a wood-burning fireplace insert or stove can cost from $700 to $6,500, about the same as a gas fireplace on average.
The cost to repair a fireplace depends on the type, extent of repairs needed, and your location. The average cost to repair a fireplace varies depending on the part of the fireplace that needs work:
Firebox: $160–$2,500
Refractory panel: $200–$300
Hearth: $150–$800
Mantel: $500–$1,200
Pilot light: $100–$350
Igniter: $100–$150
Gas valve: $150–$300
Thermocouple: $75–$350
Thermopile: $75–$350
Yes, it can be worth installing a gas fireplace, depending on your home heating needs. The cost to install a gas fireplace can be much lower than the cost to install a comparable wood-burning fireplace. The convenience of starting a fire with the flip of a switch and turning it off just as quickly makes a gas fireplace a big time saver over starting and maintaining a wood-fueled fire. A gas fireplace also does not require ash cleanup or frequent chimney cleaning to remove creosote and other buildup that can lead to chimney fires. Gas fireplaces burn and heat much more cleanly than wood fireplaces.
A gas fireplace insert costs about $3,600 to install, on average. The cost to install a gas log insert ranges from about $700 to $6,500, depending on the size, type of insert, how it works, and heating needs. Gas fireplaces need electrical and gas lines installed properly, so hiring a pro is recommended rather than trying to DIY installation.
