"Share review Embed review Write an update Edit review 5/22/2020 The fireplace technician failed to install the code required sheet metal stop at 10' intervals, in the chimney flue piping system. This meant that we had to open up and rebuild the wall again. This meant another site meeting with the structural engineer, etc., etc. $$$$. This was a standard building code requirement that they did not follow. The county inspector required that this be dealt with, so the fireplace element sent out its tech again. When the tech arrived to install the sheet metal stop, he complained that my contractor not left a tall ladder. A fireplace flue installation tech who does not bring a ladder - unbelievable! "Great," he said when I told him that they had not left a ladder in place. After he got inside, and after complaining, he said he didn't need the ladder! So I have to pay my contractor and pay the structural engineer more money because the fireplace tech didn't do the job right the first time. I told the tech this, and he told me to "go **** yourself." I'm waiting to see if Corrine takes any steps to deal with this extra money her company has cost me. I will update this review for any further activity."

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.
