42 My wife and I recently called and then physically went to the store and met Ray who showed us a variety of gas logs for our wood-burning fireplace and we selected the Big Tex set with double burner since we had a large and tall fireplace. They scheduled us for installation 2 to 3 weeks out...
Technician was prompt and courteous. Didn't use Guardian, however, b/c decided to convert to a gas fireplace. Later, got an estimate for a damper from an A-rated Angie's list vendor for $450. Still, overall, was pleased with the service call provided by Guardian and they didn't charge for...
Guardian Chimney SweepFriendly professional service. Todd & his associate spent about 5 hours on my home. Provided instruction on the new gas log set ( Real Fyre--His price on the log set was very competitive with others I had called.) Kept the dirt and ash out of my home while cleaning the fireplace. I feel that...
I had an emergency. I had at least one big leak in my home gas line. Centerpoint had cut off my gas and taken my meter. Abacus plumbers Daniel and Eloy had the difficult job of finding leaks in my gas line. There was more than one. They first inspected the entire premises and told me about...
Abacus Plumbing, Air Conditioning and ElectricalWe ordered the gas logs and Robert installed two gas logs units for us once they arrived. The installation was done in one day and Robert gave us a full explanation on how to operate the units. Robert and his wife, Deborah are great people. We have been very satisfied with our purchase...
To make dirt clean up easier, I put down my own strand board on which to pile dirt. Arrived on time and worked quickly. I was never without gas overnight. I specified a Thursday start because of a Wednesday evening outing.I should have specified a start earlier in the week to avoid...
A service person was able to come out within an hour of my first call. He was very professional, worked quickly, and repaired our problem. He had to have a piece of our existing gas line re-machined with new threads. He was able to leave to get this done and return within an hour. He also...
Nearly a disaster. I had originally called them for an estimate to fix a gas leak under my 1920s era bungalow. They found two bad leaks and said they could fix only the leaks, but since all the gas lines were very old, they suggested replacing everything. Since I want to keep my house a long...

"Moe and his crew from Pro Attic did an outstanding job. They were friendly, courteous, and diligent, and the result was exactly as promised. The 30+ year old insulation was removed, everything was properly sealed up, ducts were properly hung, and the new insulation was installed. Afterwards, the work area (inside and out) was cleaned up. Based on a friend’s recommendation of Pro Attic, I had very high expectations, which were easily met, if not exceeded. I highly recommend Pro Attic for attic insulation replacement. We could not be more pleased with the result."

"Hiram and his company are top notch! We originally found him 5 years ago when we moved into a new house that had rats in the attic. He is super honest and easy to work with, and quickly solved our rodent issues and sealed up all the entry points for reasonable cost. We had the attic re-insulated afterwards and haven't had any issues since. We called him back a couple years later to install two fireplace log kits and repair some parts of a broken outdoor fireplace. Today he came out to ease my mind about animal noises I heard that I thought were coming from inside the attic (but apparently were on the roof). He was super honest that he didn't see a problem and didn't pressure me into any services. Standup guy and company - I highly recommend."

"Texas Premier Plumbing, Thank you so much for the amazing work you did today in Sugar Land! After the landlord sent out three different plumbers — and none of them truly fixed the issue — your team came in and got it done right. No more backed-up sewer in the bathrooms and tubs — such a relief. Even more impressive, by knowing your craft so well, you saved a beautiful, old oak tree that was almost removed because others wrongly blamed its roots. Your professionalism, knowledge, and care made all the difference. I’m beyond grateful. ❤️ Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

A gas log fireplace should be inspected and serviced as needed once a year. Preventative maintenance can help keep your fireplace in working condition and save money in the long run by avoiding more costly repairs on parts that could have been fixed sooner with a regular inspection.
The cost difference between a gas fireplace and a wood-burning fireplace depends on the type of wood-burning fireplace installed. The cost to install a gas fireplace tends to be cheaper than the cost to install a brick wood-burning fireplace. Installing a gas fireplace costs about $3,600 on average, whereas the cost to build a masonry wood-burning fireplace can go up to $30,000. The cost to install a wood-burning fireplace insert or stove can cost from $700 to $6,500, about the same as a gas fireplace on average.
The cost to repair a fireplace depends on the type, extent of repairs needed, and your location. The average cost to repair a fireplace varies depending on the part of the fireplace that needs work:
Firebox: $160–$2,500
Refractory panel: $200–$300
Hearth: $150–$800
Mantel: $500–$1,200
Pilot light: $100–$350
Igniter: $100–$150
Gas valve: $150–$300
Thermocouple: $75–$350
Thermopile: $75–$350
Yes, it can be worth installing a gas fireplace, depending on your home heating needs. The cost to install a gas fireplace can be much lower than the cost to install a comparable wood-burning fireplace. The convenience of starting a fire with the flip of a switch and turning it off just as quickly makes a gas fireplace a big time saver over starting and maintaining a wood-fueled fire. A gas fireplace also does not require ash cleanup or frequent chimney cleaning to remove creosote and other buildup that can lead to chimney fires. Gas fireplaces burn and heat much more cleanly than wood fireplaces.
A gas fireplace insert costs about $3,600 to install, on average. 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.
