Q: How much does a gas fireplace insert cost?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/fireplace-insert-cost.htm">gas fireplace insert costs</a> about <b>$3,600 to install, on average</b>. 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.</p></div>

Q: How often should a fireplace be serviced?

• <div><p>Regular fireplace servicing is vital for safety and efficiency. You must inspect and clean wood-burning fireplaces annually to remove creosote buildup and address potential issues. Gas fireplaces benefit from annual inspections to ensure proper functioning and safety. More frequent servicing may be necessary if you use your fireplace extensively or live in an area with harsh winters. Always consult a local professional to establish a suitable servicing schedule for your fireplace.</p></div>

Q: How much does a fireplace add to home value?

• <div><p>A fireplace can increase a home's value by as much as 12%, with some reports indicating that homes with fireplaces list for around 13% more than the median sale price. Fireplaces are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, adding a charm that many homebuyers find desirable. The actual return on investment depends on the fireplace's size, type, and material.</p><p>However, a fireplace can detract from a property's value if it is unusable, not up to code, or in need of immediate repairs. The type of fireplace also matters; custom electric fireplaces and inserts can add value, while freestanding units that can be removed have less impact.</p></div>

Q: How long can I run a ventless fireplace?

• <div><p>Even though ventless fireplaces are safe to use overall, you shouldn&rsquo;t let them run for more than a few hours per day. It&rsquo;s also important to make sure the room with the fireplace is well-ventilated. If not, the water vapor from the fire could increase the humidity levels in your home, potentially resulting in mold growth.</p></div>

Q: Do unused chimneys need to be vented?

• <div><p>Even if you aren&rsquo;t using a home chimney anymore, you need to vent it at the top and bottom to allow for continuous airflow. A blocked-up chimney is still a chimney, so it requires annual maintenance and a professional inspection to ensure its structural integrity is intact. Consult a chimney professional about the ideal timing for venting an unused chimney.</p></div>
