Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Gas-powered fireplaces seem to be the most desirable type for homebuyers, per a Redfin report on homebuying trends. That said, any fireplace that has been maintained well and is in safe, working condition could be a draw for buyers, regardless of whether it uses wood logs, propane, or electricity as fuel.

Gas fireplaces use either natural gas or propane—both of which will increase your energy expenses. On average, running a gas fireplace costs $400 to $640 per year; however, these costs can vary significantly depending on the fuel price in your area and the frequency of fireplace use. If you’re looking for a more energy-efficient option, consider switching to an electric fireplace.

Backdraft is usually caused by a ventilation or pressure problem. To stop it, you need to replace the air your fireplace draws out through the chimney, so open a window to try and increase the airflow. Sometimes turning on a kitchen or bathroom exhaust fan can help, but they could also be the cause of the backdraft depending on the air pressure inside your home. You may need to install a makeup air system (MUAS) or chimney fan.

Compared to certain types of firewood like pine or spruce—which burn off sticky resin contained within the wood that creates lots of smoke—elm isn’t the worst option for burning in a fireplace.

Because elm wood is dense, it burns at a moderate pace and does a pretty good job of keeping your home warm. Hardwood like maple or oak may perform slightly better, but elm isn’t a bad choice overall.

Fireplace repair costs around $600 on average, but simple repairs can total as low as $100, while more complex repairs could reach up to $2,500 or more. The specific repair will be the most significant factor. Here are some common fireplace repairs below, along with the average pricing of each:

  • Firebox repair: $160–$2,500

  • Gas valve repair: $150–$300

  • Hearth repair: $150–$800

  • Igniter repair: $100–$150

  • Mantel repair: $500–$1,200

  • Pilot light repair: $100–$350

  • Refractory panel repair: $200–$300

  • Thermocouple repair: $75–$350

  • Thermopile repair: $75–$350
