We debated over the higher cost of an insert versus gas logs, but our family room is so cold and drafty, we bucked up and went for the insert. 5 weeks later we are thrilled with the decision. First, Scott from Northwest Metalcraft has provided the highest level of customer support anyone could ask for. I had several questions and issues that brought him back to the house 3 times for fine tuning etc., never once did he question my nit picky issues, some legitimate, some not as it turned out. Thirty days later, after having the gas insert fireplace on 3-6+ hours a day - yes it's hard to turn off because of the heat and aesthetic value - I feared getting the gas bill, but it was lower than the month before. Scott at NW Metalcraft said it would be but I thought he misunderstood my question, there was no way in my mind my gas bill would go down. Apparently, it heats the ground floor so well, it keeps the house heating system from going on and that saves energy. The upstairs did get a bit colder because of that but that never became a significant issue.
I would recommend Northwest Metal Craft based on this experience, and I highly recommend the fireplace insert to anyone in our area with a similar family room on a cement pad, with two exterior walls and the third wall against the garage. This cold room just became an efficiently warm and aesthetically wonderful place for the whole family. We have the fireplace on all the time - there are 6 settings for heat, fan, light, etc so you can run it high or low and dial it up or back.
we love it are happy as can be with the product and service.

"Installation went very well, but at the end I noticed the floor anchors are sticking out too much and the caps are not covering them. After I asked the installer if he can trim it, he said he doesn’t have hand saw and cannot use his power saw to do it. He told me I will have to buy my own saw and cut it myself. That defeats the purpose of hiring and paying for a professional to do their job!"

FAQs for gas fireplace repair projects in Oak Lawn, IL
Fixing a gas leak costs about $45 to $150 per hour for a plumber or gas line specialist. The job’s overall cost will vary depending on the location of the leak. A leaky junction or connection behind the stove or dryer will likely cost about $120 to $170. But for a leak that requires a gas fitter or plumber to excavate a pipe in the yard, the cost could rise to $1,500 to $5,000. Keep in mind that gas leaks are very serious issues, so don’t hesitate to contact a plumber or gas line specialist immediately.
The cost to install a fireplace is $2,440 on average. This cost can range from $150 to $8,000 or more, depending on the type of fireplace, the materials used, and the size.
Electric fireplaces cost around $1,000 to install, and mostly only require wiring installation. Installing a wood fireplace from scratch could cost upwards of $10,000, depending on the foundation needed to support the weight of the fireplace. In addition, gas fireplaces can cost between $2,500 and $10,000.
The cost to remodel your fireplace is $1,200 on average. This cost can range from $400 to $2,000, depending on the extent of work needed.
If you add a hearth to your fireplace, you can expect to pay between $3 and $200per square foot. However, if you're refacing your fireplace, the price tag will depend on your chosen materials. If choosing tile, you can pay between $1 and $50per square foot, depending on the design. Stone is a more expensive material, averaging between $60 and $70 per square foot.
Yes, it can be worth installing a gas fireplace, depending on your home heating needs. The cost to install a gas fireplace can be much lower than the cost to install a comparable wood-burning fireplace. The convenience of starting a fire with the flip of a switch and turning it off just as quickly makes a gas fireplace a big time saver over starting and maintaining a wood-fueled fire. A gas fireplace also does not require ash cleanup or frequent chimney cleaning to remove creosote and other buildup that can lead to chimney fires. Gas fireplaces burn and heat much more cleanly than wood fireplaces.
A gas fireplace insert costs about $3,600 to install, on average. The cost to install a gas log insert ranges from about $700 to $6,500, depending on the size, type of insert, how it works, and heating needs. Gas fireplaces need electrical and gas lines installed properly, so hiring a pro is recommended rather than trying to DIY installation.
