Pittsburgh Gas Grill & Heater Co. sells, installs and services gas grills, fireplace inserts and logs, heaters and gas lights. We sell only American-made products of the highest quality with the best warranties in the industry.
"The only reason that I gave 1 star is because there is nothing lower! This company is the most unprofessional company that I have ever dealt with. They made a commitment to perform a repair/cleaning on my grill the week before memorial day - they never showed up, never responded to calls or texts. Then 2 weeks later it's all sunshine and lollipops - can we come and clean your grill? No apology, or anything. The person here didn't do much more than text on his phone while here. He painted the outside hood of my grill and it is a total mess. It has runs, streaks and missed spots. The repairman told me to buy more paint and keep putting more coats of paint until it eventually evens out. I don't recommend this company for any services - they cannot even return a call or text. Sketchy."

"Aleh was wonderful from start to finish of our project. He gave us suggestions of where we could find reclaimed barnwood mantle pieces. He also gave recommendations of what the best stone was to use. He always arrived on time and was very professional. His work was exceptional and looks absolutely beautiful now that it is done. We would absolutely use him again for future projects."

"Horrible Experience. I contracted with Blackwood Group, LLC in July 2024 for a driveway demolition, wall build and decorative stamped concrete driveway installation. During the course of the project, representatives of Blackwood lied to me, screamed at me, hung up on me, used profanity directed at me, sent a crew that refused or didn’t know how to follow the engineering drawings or guidance from Versa Lok for the wall build, and generally made the project a miserable experience. The job was not completed in a workmanlike manner and to the quality that was described in the contract. The work stopped in August 2024. The quality of the work was so poor that Pete Blackwood (owner of Blackwood Group) came onsite to look at it and agreed that it needed to be ripped out and re-done. He agreed that he would do that. Pete spent the Fall of 2024 attempting to find a suitable contractor that could complete the job but was not successful. Additionally, there is damage that the Blackwood Group work crew caused to the front of our house - concrete spatter on front door, concrete spatter on the front trim (newly painted) around door, concrete spatter on the brick front of the house, and concrete spatter on a planter. Blackwood Group work crew also damaged our in-ground sprinkler system so that the zone near the front of the house doesn't work any longer. As of today, no work to fix the issues has been done. We had paid him $37600. He offered to refund $18650 and stated that he still wants to do the work and then when complete, we would pay him the remaining amount outlined in the contract. He did refund $18650. He informed us 2 weeks ago that Blackwood Group was for sale and he was in talks with a buyer. At that point, we told him that we want all of our money back. Pete has agreed to refund the balance back to us, but has yet to refund us. He still owes us ~$19000 not including the legal fees that we have incurred because of this situation. In summary, I DO NOT RECOMMEND."

Yes, many homeowners find a wood-to-gas fireplace conversion to be a worthwhile investment. A gas conversion trades messy firewood for push-button convenience, built-in safety shutoff valves, and low-maintenance operation. It also burns more cleanly and efficiently, which can trim energy costs and boost resale value—all around, a smart upgrade for most homeowners.
You don't technically need a chimney for a gas fireplace. However, if you go with the safer vented option, you need a direct vent or another venting system that draws in external air for combustion and expels the exhaust. If you have an existing chimney, you can use it as the vent as long as it's appropriately lined. Installing a chimney liner costs $630 to $7,000.
Yes, a gas fireplace will still work during a power outage. Gas fireplaces with a vertical pilot don't require electricity for the pilot flame to start. New gas fireplace models may use an intermittent pilot ignition system. These types of fireplaces often need a power supply to light, but most have a backup system in case of a power outage.
Absolutely—if no gas line runs near your fireplace, a licensed plumber or gas fitter can extend service for $260 to $820, with most homeowners spending an average of $540. Costs rise if your home lacks a main gas line, but professional installation guarantees leak-free connections, code compliance, and safe operation—critical when you’re dealing with combustible fuel.
No, electric fireplaces can’t be retrofitted for gas because they lack the venting, combustion chamber, and safety components needed for a gas flame. Switching to gas means removing the electric unit and installing an entirely new fireplace, vent, and gas line—an extensive project that often costs more than starting fresh with a purpose-built gas model.
Yes, gas fireplaces are a more eco-friendly option. Compared with a wood-burning unit, a natural gas fireplace releases roughly half to two-thirds the CO2 per unit of heat and far fewer particulates. That cleaner burn means better indoor air quality, less creosote buildup, and higher overall efficiency—benefits for both your home and the environment.
