Q: How much does a gas fireplace increase your gas bill?

• <div><p>The effect a gas fireplace has on your gas bill will depend on how often you use it, the size of the rooms you&rsquo;re heating with it, and the BTUs of the fireplace itself, but generally speaking, it should only cost a few cents an hour to run it when it&rsquo;s on. It will consume minimal energy when it&rsquo;s &ldquo;off&rdquo; if you have a pilot light running constantly, but some modern gas fireplaces don&rsquo;t require a constant pilot light.</p></div>

Q: How do you vent a fireplace without a chimney?

• <div><p>For fireplaces that need ventilation, a pipe system can do the trick and send dangerous byproducts out of your house. The actual pipe installation will depend on the type of fireplace because pipe systems are unique to specific fireplace types. For example, the twin wall pipe for a balanced flue fireplace can only be used for that type of fireplace.</p></div>

Q: What is considered the hearth of a fireplace?

• <div><p>A fireplace hearth is a fireproof flooring material that extends out from the base of the fireplace and into the room. Hearths can be made of brick, ceramic, marble, limestone, and more. A hearth serves the purpose of decreasing the fire risk in the area directly around the fireplace. If flying embers hit carpet or wood, they&rsquo;ll spark and create a fire. But if they hit something like tile or granite, they&rsquo;ll simply go out.</p></div>

Q: What is a pellet stove?

• <div><p>Pellet stoves are used as heat sources for homes. They work by burning biomass pallets, which might be composed of wood, sawdust, or food waste. The pellets are stored in the stove's hopper until the stove is ignited, at which point some are released into the stove's firebox to burn for heat. Unlike most fireplaces, pellet stoves have a thermostat that adjusts the temperature by releasing more or fewer pellets, depending on how warm you want to make your living space.</p></div>
