Q: Can I use water to put out a fire in my fireplace?

• <div><p>You should only use water to put out a fire in your fireplace in an emergency situation. Even then, it is better to use a fire extinguisher to put out a fire quickly. Make sure every room in your house that has a fireplace also has a fire extinguisher&mdash;and that everyone in your household knows how to use one.</p></div>

Q: Can you use a chimney without a flue?

• <div><p>No. Removing the cause of concern will only lead to deeper concern. You cannot use any fire-powered appliance like a fireplace or furnace without an escape route for the smoke and fumes. If you remove the flue intending to repair or replace it, you should only use the fireplace, wood stove, or furnace once the flue is in working order. If you cannot replace the flue you have removed, call a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/chimney-repair/">chimney repair professional</a> immediately.</p></div>

Q: Can I convert my fireplace to gas if I don’t have a natural gas line?

• <div><p>Yes, you can have a gas line professionally installed to convert your traditional fireplace to natural gas; just know it&rsquo;ll be an extra cost to budget for. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-average-cost-85-run-natural-gas-line.htm">cost to run a gas line</a> where you don&rsquo;t already have one is about $540, though most homeowners pay between $260 and $820. Your total could be significantly higher if you don&rsquo;t already have a main gas line running to your home.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if I need to repair my gas fireplace?

• <div><p>There are a few things you can keep an eye out for that indicate you may need to call in a gas fireplace repair tech:</p><ul><li><p>Your fireplace pilot light won&rsquo;t stay on.</p></li><li><p>You notice the smell of rotten eggs.</p></li><li><p>You hear hissing coming from the gas fireplace.</p></li><li><p>You notice a soot build-up.</p></li><li><p>The fire goes out unexpectedly.</p></li></ul><p>If you notice a rotten egg smell or hear hissing, you could have a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/signs-of-gas-leak.htm">gas leak</a>, which is extremely dangerous. Call the fire department and your gas company first to shut off the gas and air out your home before calling for a repair.</p></div>

Q: Is it hard to learn how to remove a gas fireplace insert?

• <div><p>Because of the potential danger associated with incorrectly capping the gas line that serves the gas fireplace, many people will choose to hire a professional to do the work.
