The project will finish with a pressure test to check for leaks and turning the gas line back on.

Ventless fireplaces burn fuel efficiently, so the emissions are minimal—but they could bother people with allergies or respiratory issues.

It's not hard to replace a gas line, but it requires a pro’s knowledge and expertise. Replacing a gas line becomes more time-consuming and costly if you need to excavate the area to access a gas line underground.
