Why a Gas Insert Heats Better Than an Open Fireplace
Your open fireplace sends most of its warmth straight up the flue — many actually pull more heat out of the room than they put into it. A gas fireplace insert seals that opening and puts the heat back where you want it. High-efficiency models reach 70% or higher FE, the CSA P.4.1 rating that measures real room heat rather than burner output, and the best units exceed 80%. When you compare models, the FE number is the one that matters.
Match the BTU rating to your room, then add a blower to carry that warmth across the floor. Along Colorado's Front Range, plan on roughly 20–30 BTU per square foot depending on your insulation and ceiling height — we'll confirm the right size for your space.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a gas fireplace insert cost?
A gas fireplace insert typically costs $2,000 to $5,000 installed. The unit runs $1,500 to $3,500, installation adds $500 to $1,500, and permits add another $100 to $400. Direct-vent models that need new venting or chimney work can run higher.
Can you put a gas fireplace insert in an existing fireplace?
Yes. Gas fireplace inserts are built specifically to retrofit an existing masonry or factory-built firebox, as long as your opening meets the model's minimum width, height, and depth.
What size gas fireplace insert do I need?
Measure your firebox opening width at both the front and the back, then the height and depth. Match those numbers to the insert's minimum opening spec, and confirm the surround covers any gap. Send us the measurements, and we'll check them against the models you're considering.
Do you need a permit to install a gas fireplace insert?
In most jurisdictions, yes — the job involves a gas line connection and, in most cases, new venting. Requirements vary by city and county, and permits typically run $100 to $400. Your licensed installer normally pulls the permit and schedules the inspection for you.
What is the lifespan of a gas fireplace insert?
A quality gas fireplace insert lasts 15 to 20 years with correct installation and yearly service. Blowers, remotes, thermocouples, and igniters may need replacement sooner and are inexpensive to swap.
