Q: Can I convert my fireplace to gas if I don’t have a natural gas line?

• <div><p>Yes, you can have a gas line professionally installed to convert your traditional fireplace to natural gas; just know it&rsquo;ll be an extra cost to budget for.

Your total could be significantly higher if you don&rsquo;t already have a main gas line running to your home.</p></div>

Q: What are the signs that a chimney needs to be replaced?

• <div><p>Signs that your chimney may need to be replaced include visible damage like cracks in the structure, bricks, or mortar, as well as crumbling or flaking mortar and loose bricks. Leaks, dampness, discoloration, and efflorescence (a white, stain-like substance on the bricks) are also key indicators of water damage, which can compromise the chimney's safety. Addressing these problems is essential, as a chimney in this condition may be at risk of collapsing and causing major damage to your home.

Q: Is shiplap safe for a gas fireplace?

• <div><p>Shiplap can be safe for a gas fireplace, but you should consult with a fireplace installation pro before proceeding. You need to make sure your project meets building and safety codes since shiplap is made from flammable wood. You may need to install another non-combustible material, like stone or brick, around the fireplace for a certain amount of space before you can add shiplap. </p></div>
