Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

If you have a gas fireplace, you should be able to see a vent exiting the fireplace directly to the outside of your home. You may also see gas lines leading to the fireplace. If the firebox in the fireplace is completely empty, it’s a wood-burning fireplace. There should be no burners or igniters in the fireplace.

Visible signs that call for repair include cracks in the structure, the bricks, or mortar as well as loose bricks, flaky mortar, and chimney leaks. Some less obvious signs are dampness, discoloration, and efflorescence, a white substance that can look like a pale stain on the bricks. All of these indicate water damage, which can be devastating to a chimney’s safety.

Modern gas fireplaces are relatively efficient and don't burn excessive amounts of gas, especially compared to older models. A gas fireplace might use between 10,000 to 40,000 BTUs per hour; the total amount of gas used depends on the fireplace's size, heat output, and how often it's in use. To help keep your running costs down, consider using a thermostat and turning off the fireplace when not needed to minimize gas consumption

Common issues include creosote buildup, blocked flues, and masonry degradation, all potential safety hazards.

If your chimney is cracked, crumbling, or leaking, it may need to be replaced. Addressing these types of problems is essential because chimneys in this condition may be at risk of collapsing and causing major damage to your home. On average, a chimney replacement costs between $3,100 and $15,400.
