Gas Fireplaces | Designer, Architect, & Builder Info
As the most popular category of hearth appliance, gas fireplaces have the largest variety of sizes, styles, colors and options available. The fastest growing style of gas fireplace is ‘linear’—the glass is wider and shorter than traditional fireplaces. Modern fireplaces can be installed directly onto a plywood base, making them ideal for installation during new construction and remodeling projects. All of our gas fireplaces are ‘direct vent’—they use ‘two-way’ vent pipe that has an outer and an inner chamber to bring air into the firebox and take the exhaust back outside. Direct vent technology ensures that no air from the living environment is ever used for combustion, and allows for the vent to terminate horizontally. These gas fireplaces work as powerful heaters, providing an efficient and cost effective source of supplemental heat. The input rating on gas fireplaces ranges from about 20,000-60,000 BTU/hour. As with all hearth appliances, the ceramic glass window radiates the largest percentage of heat into the room. Additional heat is available from a heat-circulating blower system. Cost for a typical gas fireplace installation with venting, labor, and tax ranges from $5,500-$14,500.
