Our gas fireplace logs would die out and then flare-up again. We called another company and explained our problem. They told us to order a particular part and call them when it came in to have it installed. They said because of the age of the logs, surely it had to be that and they wouldn't even...

We bought a new house with a gas logs unit and had no idea how to make it work well. We were able with difficulty to turn it on but were experiencing a gas smell and lots of cold air coming in around the unit. We called them and they were helpful in setting up an appointment to figure out what...

John was very, very professional arriving on time, going straight to work with all the tools he needed to clean, check and replace a defective part. He explained a number of questions I had asked and demonstrated what needed to be done. Upon leaving he cleaned the area where he had set up.

They're good. I never really had contact with them. They just came when I was at work. UGI is the natural gas provider in this area so you basically have to go to them.

They were good but it took them a while to show up for the last part of the job. The first part of the job they showed up and did everything but getting the last part of the job done took quite a while. We had to have the oil tanks removed, for that we had someone else to come back; it was a...

The installation was great. That was a subcontractor though. I think they pretty much just use one man to do it. He is not an employee of Stoves N Stuff, but he was great. It took him one day. He was very prompt. He came when he said he was going to come. He was good. The installer was...

Worked with Wood Heat in their showroom on requirements and all went fairly well. Since they're very close by and I like to purchase locally, I essentially decided to go with them to install a gas fireplace without much research. However, things didn't go so well from there. The fireplace...

I was completely dissatisfied with Wood Heat customer service. I called Jim with Wood Heat the last week of January 2015 and set up a service appt for 2/12/15. I told Jim that our fireplace worked sometimes....some days yes and other times no. I told him I changed the batteries in the remote...

Installation did not go well. When I got the estimate I told them to measure the spot (I had an old stove in the same spot) and let me know what brand/model would work best to heat my basement based on those measurements. I think the stove was too big because they had to take it in and out 3...

Gas log services FAQs

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.
