Gas-Burning Fireplaces, Stoves, Inserts, & Gas Logs

If you’ve visited Wichita’s Cabela’s, you’ve seen one of our fireplaces!

When choosing a new appliance for your home, you’ll need to consider your budget, space, desired use, and other factors.

A gas-burning unit can offer a mix of benefits, and your CSIA-certified or NFI-certified technician can help you figure out whether gas is right for your needs.

• Easy Maintenance – Part of the convenience of a gas unit comes in its maintenance. Although annual maintenance by a CSIA Certified Chimney Sweeps or NFI Certified Technicians is recommended to ensure that your unit is functioning safely and efficiently, you won’t have a lot of the regular maintenance that comes with a wood-burning unit, since gas burns much cleaner and doesn’t leave behind the same soot and ash. During your annual inspection, a Home Safe Hearth & Chimney technician will check your gas unit’s pilot light, burner, venting, and more. But your simple fire-to-fire maintenance will usually consist of turning the unit on and off.
• Flexibility in Location, Size, and Style – You have a lot of options with a prefabricated gas unit. With their well-insulated construction and various venting options, a Home Safe Hearth & Chimney technician can install a unit in a corner, along a wall, or even in the center of a room — basically anywhere a gas line can be safely connected. You can choose between units that are open on one side, with a more traditional look of open on two, three, or four sides.  Depending on the amount of space you need to heat, you’ll be able to choose between a variety of sizes as well.
• Efficient, Clean, Convenient Heating – Without the effort of building a fire, gas units generally come on with the push of a button and provide efficient heat. Many units even have thermostats, which allow homeowners to set and maintain the desired temperature. In addition to being convenient – gas units are green! The EPA states that natural gas and propane units emit fewer air pollutants than wood-burning or pellet-burning fireplaces, stoves, and inserts.

Types of Gas-Burning Units

• Gas Fireplaces – Units that are built into the hearth, often surrounded by a mantel
• Gas Stoves – Free-standing units that come in a variety of sizes and styles, from traditional-looking cast-iron to brightly colored and sleek, contemporary, steel stoves
• Gas Inserts – Units that can be retrofitted into an existing fireplace if you want a more efficient unit or to update fireplace that’s come to the end of its service life for woodburning
• Gas logs – Designed to look like wood logs, gas logs have gas burners built inside and offer the convenience and efficiency of gas with the look of a real wood fire

As with any home heating appliance, in order to ensure that your gas-burning unit is safely and efficiently installed, you’ll want to hire a certified technician to do the job. Home Safe Hearth & Chimney Technicians are CSIA Certified and/or NFI Certified.
