Q: What are the disadvantages of a gas fireplace insert?

• <div><p>For many people, the primary disadvantage of a gas fireplace insert is that it doesn&rsquo;t look or smell like a classic wood-burning fire. Additionally, the labor costs of installing a gas insert are higher than some other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-fireplace-inserts.htm">types of fireplace inserts</a>, including electric and pellet inserts. There are also limitations on where you can install ventless gas fireplaces because they&rsquo;re banned in certain places (including California).</p></div>

Q: Are chimneys usually load-bearing?

• <div><p>The answer can vary widely based on a home's age and design. As with any type of remodeling project, assume that every structure is load-bearing until confirming otherwise with a structural engineer. Almost all modern homes have chimneys that are fully independent from the rest of the home's framing. As a result, they don't bear any load beyond their own weight. However, many historic homes built prior to the 1900s contain load-bearing chimneys that tie into the surrounding roof and floor joists. If possible, use a home's blueprints or look for chimney connections that indicate load-bearing qualities to get your answer.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to run a pellet stove?

• <div><p>This will depend on the size of the pellet stove and how much of the house you&rsquo;re heating, i.e. just one room or the entire house. Many pellet stoves use anywhere from 80 to 345 watts of electricity per hour. In terms of the pellets, a 40-pound bag can cost $5 to $9. A bag of pellets will burn for about 24 hours.</p></div>

Q: Do gas fireplaces need servicing?

• <div><p>Gas-burning fireplaces need servicing to keep them in proper working order. You should call a fireplace pro to inspect and clean your gas-burning fireplace at least once per year or whenever problems arise. Servicing your gas-burning fireplace will help it function properly while also extending its lifespan. It&rsquo;ll also ensure that your fireplace is operating safely.</p></div>

Q: Is a wood stove or fireplace better for heating?

• <div><p>Both wood stoves and fireplaces are effective at heating, but wood stoves are more efficient, meaning more of the fuel is converted to heat rather than lost. Wood stoves, depending on the capacity, can also heat larger spaces, while fireplaces are better for heating smaller areas, like an individual room.</p></div>
