Q: Is it hard to learn how to remove a gas fireplace insert?

• <div><p>Because of the potential danger associated with incorrectly capping the gas line that serves the gas fireplace, many people will choose to hire a professional to do the work. Some homeowners may choose to hire a pro to only handle the gas line for them. They then may attempt to remove the actual insert on their own, which is a challenging&mdash;but not impossible&mdash;DIY project.</p></div>

Q: Why am I using gas when the heater is off?

• <div><p>If your home uses more than one gas appliance, you'll continue to use gas, even outside of the heating season. Your water heater, gas stove and oven, and gas dryer will all use some gas, although typically much less than a furnace. Additionally, those appliances may also have a pilot light that is lit continually, using a small amount even when no one is at home.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of propane?

• <div><p>The biggest disadvantage of propane is that heating systems and appliances powered by propane tend to cost more than gas-powered ones. Propane is also dangerous since it can create frostbite if it touches the skin and can easily combust if mishandled. It&rsquo;s also quite cumbersome to buy or replace propane tanks, so many people choose to have propane delivered to their homes&mdash;an extra cost and logistical challenge that can be a headache.</p></div>

Gas Logs questions, answered by experts
