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.

This is a common way homeowners in Santa Rosa upgrade their heating and ambiance. The pros will assess your current fireplace to ensure a proper and safe fit for the new insert.

What are the disadvantages of a gas fireplace?

While convenient, gas fireplaces don't produce the same radiant heat as wood-burning ones. You also won't get the smell of burning wood, which some people miss. Efficiency can vary by model, so it's good to look into that. Plus, they rely on a gas line, which might be a consideration for your Santa Rosa home.

What are the disadvantages of a gas fireplace insert?

Compared to wood, gas inserts lack that authentic wood-burning smell and crackle. Some models might not provide as intense radiant heat as a traditional wood fire. Also, you'll need access to a natural gas line or a propane tank. These are things to weigh when deciding if an insert is right for your Santa Rosa home.
