Q: 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&rsquo;ll need one to make any changes to the gas line during the repair.</p></div>

Q: Do fireplace inserts increase home value?

• <div><p>Fireplace inserts can increase home value when installed correctly. Since they improve heating efficiency significantly, this will be a bonus to homeowners who are looking for a functional alternative heat source. Plus, inserts are less maintenance and less of a liability than a traditional fireplace. You&rsquo;re very likely to recover fireplace insert installation costs when you sell your home. </p></div>

Q: What are the different levels of chimney inspection?

• <div><p>Chimney sweeps perform three levels of inspections:</p><ol><li><p>Level One: This is a basic annual inspection, often a visual inspection during cleaning, which is the most affordable.</p></li><li><p>Level Two: This stage is ideal when selling or buying a home as it involves an inspection of the attic and roof, which is moderately priced.</p></li><li><p>Level Three: This is a very thorough inspection that should take place after major storms or earthquakes, which is the most costly type of inspection.</p></li></ol><p></p></div>

Q: What causes a chimney to crack?

• <div><p>Common causes for a chimney crack are poor construction and improper sealing. As a chimney heats and cools, expansion and contraction can cause cracks to form. If a chimney isn't sealed, moisture can enter pores in the masonry and cause problems. A chimney without a proper foundation can start to lean, which may also result in cracks.</p></div>

Q: What do you put in the bottom of a fire pit?

• <div><p>Most homeowners put a layer of compact sand or gravel at the bottom of their firepit, but you can also choose more decorative options like fire-resistant paving stones, bricks, or fire pit glass. Dirt by itself can even work, but other materials do a better job of spreading the heat around.</p></div>

Everything went very well. We decided to convert an old grill in our basement (built in) into a gas fireplace. We had several people out to inspect it, and the determination was that a gas insert would be OK but that there was no way to put vented/ventless logs directly into the box. We shopped...
