Do gas fireplaces generate ash?

• <div><p>No, because they burn propane or natural gas, gas fireplaces do not generate ash like wood-burning fireplaces. However, gas fireplaces <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-gas-fireplace.htm">require maintenance</a>, such as cleaning the glass doors, checking for debris in the burner or vents, and ensuring the logs or glass stones are in place. This maintenance ensures that the fireplace continues to operate efficiently and safely.</p></div>

Q: How long does fireplace installation take?

• <div><p>Most projects take 5-10 days, including foundation work, masonry, and finishing.</p></div>

Q: Where should a wood stove be installed?

• <div><p>The best place to install a wood stove is near an outside wall. This makes it easier to route a chimney through the roof than if it were located in the dead center of your house. No combustible materials should be near the wood-burning stove, and depending on the building code, 20 inches to 36 inches of space should be allowed between the side wall and the stove.</p></div>

Q: What is the white stuff on the glass of my gas fireplace?

• <div><p>When your fireplace burns, chemicals like sulfur or calcium can release from the fuel leading to white stuff appearing on the glass. However, it could also signal an issue with your fireplace. If you notice crystal deposits, it indicates either your flame isn&rsquo;t burning properly or venting well. </p></div>

Q: Does my chimney impact my HVAC system?

• <div><p>In most homes, your chimney and HVAC are separate from each other. However, you can use your chimney to save on heating costs in the winter. Turn off your HVAC system and start a cozy fire, then watch the electric bills drop during the coldest months. Make sure your flue is closed when not in use so that you don&rsquo;t end up pumping heat or cool air from your system outside.</p></div>
