"They were working on my neighbors yard and trampled through mine multiple times during the process. All while parking a trailer and skid steer in my cul-de-sac blocking my garbage cans from being picked up and my mailbox. I called and asked why only to be berated by Andrew and then hung up on...I am in the wrong for wanting them to move and not drag things through my yard for my neighbors project evidently. I called back to get yelled at by Andrew again. I have never been treated so ridiculously by a contractor or really anyone for that matter. I sincerely would not work with this company."

Your monthly gas bill will increase by $0.35 to $0.62 for each hour you operate your fireplace. The exact impact depends on your specific model's efficiency rating, local utility rates, and usage frequency.
Many homeowners find that strategic use of a gas fireplace can reduce overall heating expenses by allowing them to lower the thermostat in unused rooms while keeping gathering spaces comfortable.
Gas fireplaces often prove more economical when heating specific living areas rather than an entire home. For example, using a fireplace in your family room while reducing whole-house heating can yield significant savings.
The comparative efficiency depends on your home's layout, insulation quality, and the relative costs of gas versus your primary heating fuel. Homes with open floor plans benefit more from strategic fireplace use than those with numerous separate rooms.
Self-installation is strongly discouraged due to safety concerns and regulatory requirements. Working with gas lines presents serious risks, including leaks, improper combustion, and potential carbon monoxide hazards.
Professional installation ensures proper venting, appropriate gas line sizing, and compliance with local building codes. Additionally, many manufacturers void warranties on self-installed units, potentially costing more in the long run if problems arise.
Converting from wood to gas involves various components and considerations that affect the final price. The project requires installing a gas line, adding a fireplace insert or gas log set, and potentially modifying the existing chimney or flue. Costs vary based on your current fireplace configuration, desired features, and local labor rates.
Consult with local fireplace specialists for quotes specific to your situation, as structural modifications or venting requirements can significantly impact the overall expense.
