Can gas fireplace inserts be repaired?

• <div><p>Yes, you can repair gas <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-fireplace-inserts.htm">fireplace inserts</a>, but you should always rely on a fireplace professional for this type of work. Gas fireplace inserts cost an average of <b>$600</b> to repair, and replacing one totals between <b>$2,000 and $5,000</b>, so a repair is almost always going to be worthwhile as opposed to replacing. If you need repairs done to the gas line that feeds into the insert, make sure your repair company has a licensed plumber, as you’ll need one to make any changes to the gas line during the repair.</p></div>

Q: Do you open a flue with a gas fireplace?

• <div><p>Yes, if your gas fireplace has a flue, you typically need to open it when using the fireplace. Although gas fireplaces don&rsquo;t produce the type of smoke and soot that wood-burning ones do, they still release combustion gasses like carbon monoxide. Opening the flue ensures these gasses safely exit your home through the chimney. Not all <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-a-gas-fireplace-need-a-chimney.htm">gas fireplaces need a chimney</a>, however. Always check the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions for your specific gas fireplace model, as some newer models may have different ventilation requirements. </p></div>

Q: What happens if your chimney cap falls off?

• <div><p>Sometimes chimney caps blow off during storms or fall off after rusting away. While this typically won&rsquo;t cause structural damage, failing to replace a chimney cap can. A chimney cap prevents moisture, animals, and debris from entering your chimney, all of which can cause serious problems, such as damage to the masonry or blockages in the flue. </p></div>

Q: What is the total cost to install a wood stove?

• <div><p>Wood stove installation fees start around $1,500. This wood stove itself can cost $850 to $2,000, depending on the model. After considering both the stove and wood stove company&rsquo;s fees, most homeowners pay $3,000 to $4,000 to install a wood-burning stove.</p></div>

Q: How tall are chimney caps typically?

• <div><p>Ideally, your chimney cap should be at least 8 inches above the top of the flue, though it's better if it's even higher. You want it to sit that high because it won't affect the chimney's draft, which pulls the smoke up and out of your chimney and away from your home.</p></div>
