Electric Fireplace Insert
how expensive is it to put a small gas fireplace insert in, with gas lines?
I have a small fireplace, but it is drafty and useless. I would like a more useful heating source. We were without power for 6 days this winter, so looking to something not needing electric,,,thanks
OH, are there any that use propane?
I think a neighbor has just put one in and has a "tank" outside. I don't really know them well, or I'd ask....I just thought gas would be cheaper than a pellet insert...not sure.
Thanks
Do you have a gas line in your home now? If so tapping into it and running it to the fire place should not be all that hard or costly. If you do not have gas at the home now it would be costly. Fire box's and log sets very in price but expect to pay around 1500.00 to buy one and have it installed. This does not include moving the gas line if you have one. If you do not have natural gas look at propane, you can buy a dual fuel or propane box and log set for about the same as natural gas. You can then buy a 100lbs propane tank and run the lines threw the wall to the outside, set tank outside and have heat. Just keep the tank filled should run for a couple of days on one tank depending on the BTU's of the log set. I would defiantly buy the blower kit for what ever system you choose it will help heat the whole room. You can also look into a larger External propane tank and have enough fuel for the whole winter. Not sure where you are but most propane companies will not charge for the tank up front, they will let you make monthly payments on them. Hope this helps
