What affects the price
The final price for a new gas fireplace depends on a few moving parts. First, you have to consider whether you are installing a unit into an existing chimney or creating a new opening in a wall, which adds labor. The type of venting required and the current proximity of your gas lines also play a big role in the complexity of the install. Aesthetic choices, like premium stone surrounds or remote-controlled flame features, will adjust the total as well.

Annual service for your gas fireplace keeps it running safely and efficiently. This involves cleaning the glass, clearing debris from the burner, testing safety sensors, and checking for gas leaks. You should book this service once a year, preferably before the cold weather arrives, to prevent mechanical failures and ensure your indoor air quality remains high.

Many people think about fireplaces only in the cold, but summer is actually a great time to schedule an installation.

Frequently asked in Atlanta

Can you put a gas fireplace insert in an existing fireplace?

What are the disadvantages of a gas fireplace?
While convenient, gas fireplaces don't produce the same crackling sound or scent as wood fires. They also require a gas line and ventilation, which can limit placement options. However, for many Atlanta residents, the ease of use and consistent heat outweigh these minor drawbacks.
