When you choose a gas fireplace, you choose ease of use, energy efficiency wherever you plan to use it, and a beautiful centerpiece for the room. From traditional to modern gas fireplaces, you’ll find your perfect fireplace style to match. Gas fireplaces are tempting, but there are a myriad of choices available in the market; thus, installing the right one is a must. Their technology continues to prove its worth, boasting a patented clean-burning design and an extensive product range.
Why Choose a Gas Fireplace?
At Embers Living, we know that every homeowner has different priorities when it comes to choosing the right fireplace—whether it’s the cozy atmosphere it creates, the comfort of reliable warmth, or a combination of both. Gas fireplaces have become an increasingly popular choice with our customers, and it’s easy to see why. They offer a perfect balance of beauty, efficiency, and convenience, making them an excellent investment for both homes and businesses.
- Convenience Made Simple: Lighting a traditional wood fire takes time, effort, and preparation. A gas fireplace, on the other hand, can transform your space with the press of a button. Many of the models we carry include features like remote controls, and some even integrate with smart technology, allowing you to adjust your fire straight from your phone. Bringing warmth and ambiance into your living room has never been easier.
- A Warm and Inviting Atmosphere: There’s something timeless about gathering around a real flame—but that doesn’t mean it has to involve hauling logs or tending to a fire. Gas fireplaces create an authentic flame experience without the hassle, offering the charm of a wood-burning fire with the ease of modern convenience. This balance is one of the reasons so many of our customers view gas fireplaces as the “best of both worlds.”
- Energy-Efficient Heating: One of the biggest advantages of switching to gas is efficiency. Gas fireplaces provide outstanding performance through zone heating—warming the rooms you use most without wasting energy in the unused areas of your home. This practical approach not only keeps you comfortable but also helps reduce monthly energy costs, making it a smart long-term investment.
- Elevated Style: Beyond warmth and comfort, gas fireplaces add unmatched visual appeal to a room. For centuries, people have been drawn to the beauty of a flickering flame, and our fireplaces capture that same magic. With realistic log sets and thoughtfully designed units, a gas fireplace from Embers Living becomes more than just a heat source—it transforms into a statement piece that enriches your entire living space.
Essential Factors to Consider When Buying a New Gas Fireplace
When it’s time to buy a gas fireplace, you’ll want to consider several important factors to ensure you get the best gas fireplace for your home:
1. Product Type
Gas fireplaces come in several styles, each designed for different applications.
- Traditional Gas Fireplaces: These are classic units designed to deliver reliable warmth and ambiance to living spaces. Embers Living features a wide selection, ensuring you'll find the perfect centerpiece for your home.
- Direct Vent Gas Fireplaces: Ideal for safe, efficient indoor heating, direct vent models use outside air for combustion, reducing drafts and maximizing comfort while providing flexibility in placement and installation.
- Vent-Free Gas Fireplaces: These units offer unmatched installation versatility by eliminating the need for external venting. Vent-free fireplaces from Embers Living are a practical choice for rooms where adding a vent is challenging.
Embers Living specializes in helping you find the best gas fireplace for your home, with expert guidance and a curated selection to match any style or installation needs.
2. Fuel Type
Your home’s setup will determine whether you’ll use natural gas or propane. In most cases, natural gas is standard in urban areas, while rural homes often rely on propane tanks. Since these fuel types aren’t interchangeable, safety is a top priority with a gas fireplace—always consult a licensed gas professional during installation.
3. Size
From compact designs that fit seamlessly into existing spaces to large, show-stopping gas fireplaces that anchor brand-new rooms, we offer models in every scale. If you’re remodeling or building, you’ll have more flexibility—but if you’re updating an existing hearth, measurements are key to choosing the right fit.
4. Ventilation
Although gas fireplaces burn cleaner than wood, ventilation still matters. Some units are vented, meaning part of the heat exits through a flue or chimney, while others are vent-free, which retain more heat but may be restricted by local building codes. It’s always smart to check what’s allowed in your area before making your final decision.
At Embers Living, our goal is to match each customer with a fireplace that fits their lifestyle, design preferences, and home layout. With so many options in fuel, size, style, and installation, selecting the right gas fireplace is as much about your priorities as it is about performance—and we’re here to guide you through every step.
FAQ - Gas Fireplaces
Will a Gas Fireplace Function During a Power Outage?
Yes, almost all vented and direct-vent gas fireplaces will operate even in a power outage. However, some variations with electrical blowers may not run without power.
What is the Difference Between a Vented and a Ventless Gas Fireplace?
Compared to ventless fireplaces, vented fireplaces exhaust byproducts outdoors, while ventless fireplaces keep heat inside the room. Due to potential indoor air quality concerns, ventless fireplaces are regulated.
Are Gas Fireplaces Safe to Use?
Yes, gas fireplaces are safe when properly installed and correctly maintained. Since they feature auto shut-off valves and oxygen depletion sensors, you will be safe.
Can I Use a Gas Fireplace to Burn Wood?
No, gas fireplaces are designed to burn only gas. If you decide to burn wood or some other fuel in your gas fireplace, you might damage it and void the warranty.
How Long Does It Take to Heat Up a Room With a Gas Fireplace?
Fireplace BTU output and room size determine heating time and insulation.
How Much Does a Gas Fireplace Cost?
A gas fireplace price will vary depending on the model, brand, or manufacturer. It will range anywhere between $639.00 and $19,308.00.
How Do You Clean a Gas Fireplace?
Gas fireplaces require cleaning every so often. Turning off the gas, cleaning the glass, vacuuming the interior, checking the logs, cleaning the air vents, checking the pilot light, and changing the batteries in the remote control are important procedures.
Is a Chimney Required for a Gas Fireplace?
No, many gas fireplaces don’t need a chimney, so they are ventless. Some models depend on their type of venting system.
Is the Presence of a Small Blue Flame in My Gas Fireplace Normal After I Turned It Off?
Don’t panic when you see a small flame at the burner of your gas fireplace that refuses to go away promptly after you switch off the gas. It is completely normal, and you can relax as it won’t harm anything. This usually shows that the pilot light is still on, since gas is flowing through the system.
When Should You Call a Professional for Gas Fireplace Repair?
Any safety concerns, suspected gas leaks, strange noises, or ongoing problems with the pilot light or ignition should be reported to a professional. Additionally, yearly professional inspections are crucial.
