We wanted an insert where we could set the desired temperature and then let the stove do the rest. That never happened. The stove would get to a preset temperature, turn off and then never turn back on until someone woke up in the cold and went into the room and started it again. Not too long after purchasing the stove I began to see that this was going to be one of those times when the seller just doesn't do anything to help the buyer. I was SO right. Even though I told them multiple times, the answer I got from the "owner" Larry was that they don't break, referring to the remote that was supposed to control the turning on and off of the stove. Since I'm not the supposed expert in this field (although I think I had figured out far more than the owner ever did) I suggested that if it wasn't the remote it might be the stove that was malfunctioning. Again, I guess they figured since I'm a woman I can't figure out a simple remote setting, I must be doing something WRONG. How WRONG can you be when you set a temperature and the stove turns off and won't turn back ON. For months, I went back and forth with the people at this place and continued to get nothing from them. They even said they would contact the manufacturer, and then said they had contacted the manufacturer and got no reply. So, then it was MY problem? From the very first day, the stove didn't work right. I figured out what it was doing within a week of installation and I contacted them. Over and over and over. To add insult to injury for this $3000 stove that wouldn't turn back on with the remote, the blower went out. So, the owner told me that even though they didn't think anything was wrong, they would finally (after months and months of saying they were going to order another remote) order a remote. And, it would cost me $100 to have the blower installed. They did install the blower and gave me another remote. This did NOT help the problem. The stove went off some time in the night and the only way it would turn back ON was when I went into the room and turned it back on. I have multiple photos of the stove, with the remote sitting in front of it. The stove would be off (of course), the remote would be set for 70 degrees and the remote would show that the stove was ON even though it wasn't, and the temperature in the room would be 60 or 62.. Had I not been so involved with the care of my elderly mother, I should have taken this unethical person to court. Since I didn't have the time and grew up (wrongly, I guess) believing that when someone sold you something they stood behind their product I ended up with a gas fireplace insert that is only useful if someone is in the house, awake, and continually monitors the temperature, making sure to turn the fireplace back on when the temp drops back to an uncomfortable cool temp. I can't believe I'm the only person this man cheated. He was so blatant about treating me like I was too simple to understand anything. I imagine if he was dealing with women or elderly people he would treat them the same. I also imagine he wouldn't dare to do something like this with someone with means to take him to task and make him service the stove like it should have been. Bottom line at the bottom, I wouldn't buy a dog house from this man. And, I imagine some day karma is going to get him good. Just wish I knew about it when it happens.

FAQs for gas fireplace repair projects in Petersburg, VA
Fixing a gas leak costs about $45 to $150 per hour for a plumber or gas line specialist. The job’s overall cost will vary depending on the location of the leak. A leaky junction or connection behind the stove or dryer will likely cost about $120 to $170. But for a leak that requires a gas fitter or plumber to excavate a pipe in the yard, the cost could rise to $1,500 to $5,000. Keep in mind that gas leaks are very serious issues, so don’t hesitate to contact a plumber or gas line specialist immediately.
The cost to install a fireplace is $2,440 on average. This cost can range from $150 to $8,000 or more, depending on the type of fireplace, the materials used, and the size.
Electric fireplaces cost around $1,000 to install, and mostly only require wiring installation. Installing a wood fireplace from scratch could cost upwards of $10,000, depending on the foundation needed to support the weight of the fireplace. In addition, gas fireplaces can cost between $2,500 and $10,000.
The cost to remodel your fireplace is $1,200 on average. This cost can range from $400 to $2,000, depending on the extent of work needed.
If you add a hearth to your fireplace, you can expect to pay between $3 and $200per square foot. However, if you're refacing your fireplace, the price tag will depend on your chosen materials. If choosing tile, you can pay between $1 and $50per square foot, depending on the design. Stone is a more expensive material, averaging between $60 and $70 per square foot.
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.
