Who installs fireplaces?

• <div><p>Knowing who to hire to install your fireplace is important when it comes to having a safe place to burn a fire in your home. The best person to contact for installing fireplaces is a mason or general contractor who has a <a href="https://www.nficertified.org/public/">National Fireplace Institute</a> (NFI) specialist certification. If you’re installing wood paneling, then it’s a good idea to also find a pro who is Wood Energy Technology Transfer (WETT)-certified. </p><p>Both of these certifications show that your pro is well-equipped to install fireplaces and inspect your home for the utmost safety.</p></div>

Can I light my gas fireplace manually?

• <div><p>If you have a gas fireplace with an electric ignition and you’re experiencing a power outage, you will need to light your fireplace’s pilot manually before you can start a fire. The instructions should be in the manufacturer’s manual.</p></div>

Will a pellet stove heat an entire house?

• <div><p>Yes, a pellet stove can heat an entire house—as long as you choose one that’s large enough for that purpose. For context, pellet stoves generate between 8,000 and 90,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs), and you’ll need 30 to 60 BTUs per square foot, depending on your climate zone. If you’re unsure which size pellet stove to buy, reach out to a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/wood-stove-repair/">local pellet or wood stove repair company</a>.</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 are the disadvantages of a ventless fireplace?

• <div><p>The primary disadvantage of a ventless fireplace is that it doesn&rsquo;t have an exterior venting system. This means that the byproducts from combustion are emitted into your home, which raises some safety concerns. In addition, ventless gas fireplaces produce moisture as they burn&mdash;and if there&rsquo;s no ventilation, you could end up with a mold problem.</p></div>
