Efficiency Gas logs and inserts are convenient, as you can turn them on with a flip of a switch. Some come with remote controls, which allow you to turn them on from the comfort of your couch. Some also come with timers that control the amount of fire burning at any given time.
Economical Gas fireplaces burn natural gas and propane just like a traditional wood fireplace. However, the glass doors enhance the conversion of most of the fuel into usable heat, preventing significant heat loss. The heat generated remains inside the room rather than vanishing through the chimney. The fans preinstalled in the insert control the amount of heat entering the room.
Safety Unlike traditional fireplaces, which need a flue through the roof, gas fireplaces are vent free. This means that they eliminate the need for back drafting, since they can be placed anywhere in your house and fitted with fire-caulked flange for additional safety. The vent free technology that comes with inserts clean the air leaving the combustion chamber, so your home does not have the smell of wood burning.
Simplicity Gas fireplaces are hassle-free and straightforward since you only need to purchase the fireplace insert. This saves you the time to gather firewood, set up, and extinguish a fire after use.
