Fireplace (gas)
Fireplace (gas)
A Gas Fireplace is a fireplace that burns either natural gas or propane to create flames and heat.
There are three main types of gas Fireplaces: 'gas fireplace inserts' that are installed in the opening of an existing wood burning fireplace and are vented through the existing chimney with a special vent pipe that carries the exhaust to the outside; 'direct vent gas fireplaces' which can be vented directly through an exterior wall and do not require a traditional masonry chimney; and 'vent-free gas fireplaces' that are designed to operate without the venting of exhaust fumes to the outside.
A pilot light operates continually to ensure piped in gas burns whenever it is present.
