Types of Gas Fireplaces
- Log sets
This is a low-tech, low-cost option. It consists of a gas burner, which sits under a ceramic log and produces a flame in your fireplace. With this model, you must open your flue each time you use it to ensure proper ventilation. Because of this, they don’t radiate much heat.
- Inserts
These models are self-contained and can fit right into your fireplace. Unlike log sets, they can radiate plenty of heat. Inserts contain two metal boxes that trap air, warm it, and send it into your living space to create comfort and warmth.
- Built-ins
Built-ins have the same features as inserts but are more flexible. They don’t require a chimney for ventilation. For this reason, you can put them virtually anywhere in your home—on the wall or in the hall.
Gas Fireplace Features
One of the most fun aspects of gas fireplaces is choosing the materials. Faux logs are classic—but there are many more options. You can find the perfect color and material to match your home decor.
Here are a few looks:
- Glass balls
- Ceramic stones, pine cones, or various sculptures
- Fake coal
Vented or Non-Vented?
Many homeowners choose gas fireplaces because they are odor-free and don’t produce smoke or soot. However, like gas stovetops, they emit trace amounts of pollutants. These particles can include carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen, and sulfur oxides.
Vented fireplaces remove all these fumes from your home through a flue. This option is best for your indoor air quality (IAQ)—however, it causes losses in efficiency.
Non-vented fireplaces are the most energy-efficient option and can be placed virtually anywhere since they don’t need to be hooked up to a flue.
