Benefits Of Gas Fireplaces

In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, gas fireplaces are low maintenance. They remain unblemished because they don’t burn wood and collect soot. Therefore, they don’t require regular cleanings. However, inspections are encouraged to keep your gas fireplace running smoothly during the winter months. Here are some of the benefits of gas fireplaces.

Convenience

One of the major benefits of gas fireplaces is that they are very easy to use. They can be turned on and off with the flip of a switch or the press of a button, making them much more convenient than traditional wood-burning fireplaces.

Cleanliness

Gas fireplaces don’t produce the same amount of ash and soot as wood-burning fireplaces, so they are much cleaner and easier to maintain. This means you don’t have to worry about cleaning up after each use, which saves time and effort.

Versatility

Another benefit of gas fireplaces is their versatility. They come in a wide variety of styles and designs, so you can choose one that fits your home’s décor and your personal preferences. They also offer a range of heat output options, so you can adjust the temperature to your liking.

Safety

Gas fireplaces are generally considered safer than wood-burning fireplaces because they don’t produce sparks or embers that could potentially start a fire. They also don’t require the use of matches or lighters, which can be dangerous in certain situations.

Energy efficiency

Unlike traditional wood-burning fireplaces, gas fireplaces are more energy-efficient because they produce more heat with less fuel. This means you can save money on your energy bills while still enjoying the warmth and ambiance of a fireplace.

Our Process

The Process of Installing a Gas Fireplace

Installing a gas fireplace is a complex process that should only be done by a licensed professional. The first step is to choose the location for the fireplace, which should be a central location in the room or in a location where it will be most visible.

The next step is to determine the type and size of the fireplace that will best suit your needs. This will depend on the size of the room, the style of the home, and the preferences of you and your family.

Once the location and size of the fireplace have been determined, a gas line will need to be run to the fireplace. This will typically require drilling through walls and floors, and running the gas line through the attic or crawlspace.

Additionally, one of our professionals will need to install a venting system to remove the exhaust gasses from the fireplace. This will typically require drilling a hole through the roof, and running a vent pipe through the attic.

Inspections

Inspections are Encouraged

To keep your gas fireplace running smoothly during the winter months, it is important to have it inspected regularly. This will ensure that the gas line and venting system are in good working condition, and that there are no leaks or other issues that could be dangerous. Additionally, you should have the fireplace cleaned and serviced at least once a year to ensure that it is working properly.

Lindemann makes the process easy – working with our technicians on the fine details of the install, the process of selecting a system can be done in a few simple steps depending on the type of gas fireplace that suits your home:

Vented Gas Logs

With vented gas logs you simply choose the type that fits for you and that’s it.

Vent Free Systems

With vent free systems you first choose your type of vent free gas logs and then choose an optional remote system.
