Many homeowners are enhancing their living rooms and other spaces with a gas fireplace in Richmond, VA. If you’d like to do the same, Rooftop Chimney Sweeps is the company to choose for gas fireplace installation in Richmond.
Gas fireplaces are safer and more convenient than traditional wood-burning fireplaces. Modern gas units provide significant heat while using less fuel. You can also find many design options to enhance your home’s look and feel.
Many people ask whether a chimney is necessary for a gas fireplace in Richmond, VA, and the answer is no. If you have a chimney, you can use it because some gas fireplaces are designed explicitly for chimneys.
Our gas fireplace installers can adapt most direct vent systems to work with chimneys, too. Alternatively, you can choose direct vent systems that exhaust outside your home, like a furnace or water heater. Ventless gas fireplaces are also an option.
Many homeowners wonder which fuel to use. In our region, natural gas and liquid propane are the most popular options. If you have access to a natural gas line, you should choose it. It usually costs less, and you won’t need to worry about refilling.
With propane, you store it on your property in a tank. It costs a bit more, but not much more, for a gas fireplace. Propane is also less convenient because you have to schedule deliveries.
When deciding between ventless and direct vent options, your choice depends on your home. A ventilation system requires additional equipment and labor, making direct vent somewhat more expensive. That said, these are sealed systems, and they ensure that all toxic gases exit your home through the exhaust.
Manufacturers design ventless systems to produce almost no by-product gases, making these systems nearly 100% efficient and cheaper due to the lack of ventilation.
However, they have some trade-offs: the heating isn’t as robust, and they release moisture, which requires cracking a nearby window to prevent buildup.
