Many people update their older wood-burning fireplaces to gas fireplace inserts. This is because of the many benefits that come with using these hearth heating appliances. A gas fireplace can greatly increase the energy efficiency in your home. This means you will get more heat and lower utility bills. The convenience factor is another big advantage of using a gas fireplace. You don’t have to do chores like bringing in wood and sweeping up ashes. In addition, you can also light a fire without any problems from your couch by pushing a button on a remote control.

Typically, gas fireplaces are low-maintenance and problem-free; however, there are a few common issues that can arise with these appliances. When your gas fireplace does not work, it is important to hire a professional technician who is certified to service gas appliances. Even Do It Yourself websites warn of the dangers of working on gas fireplaces on your own and recommends calling an expert to do the repairs. Do you live in the Charleston area?
