Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Ventless and vented gas fireplaces each have their pros and cons. However, if you want to install a fireplace in a room without a chimney, then a vented model might be better (as long as they’re legal in your area, of course). On the other hand, if you have allergies, asthma, or other respiratory sensitivities, then a vented fireplace might be better for your health.

While most stoves won’t last two decades, some do! Gas stoves and pellet stoves are more likely to go the distance than electric stoves or induction cooktops, and maintenance can go a long way toward increasing longevity.

Regular cleaning, checking venting, and scheduling professional inspections help ensure safe operation.

In addition to scheduling an annual inspection, it’s a good idea to clean your gas fireplace at least once or twice per year. It’s a simple process that involves removing and scrubbing the glass, cleaning off the logs and rocks, vacuuming the inside, and wiping down the exterior. It should take about an hour.

The height of the chimney for your outdoor fireplace depends on where the fireplace is located. Ideally, the chimney should be 2 to 3 feet higher than surrounding structures; this allows smoke to ventilate properly without endangering anyone or anything.

Note: Your municipality may have strict requirements regarding chimney heights, so it’s always a good idea to check local building codes.
