Dave G questioned: We have natural gas for heat, as well as the fireplace. I want to use the fireplace more, but I suspect that using a fireplace much in a month would run up our bill moreso than sticking with the normal house’s gas heat.
Anyone know if that’s right? Is there a rough amount that it would cost extra? 20-30% higher maybe?

EAT! questioned: i was thinking even one of those stove ones with the pipes, where they may be able to just cut a small round hole in one of my walls and have the pipe run up the side of my house? Does that work? Of course it would be nice to have a full flegged fireplace and chimney made of stone or brick also. Thank you!

choirgirl3 questioned: We found the perfect home -but it does not have the woodburning fireplace that I’ve always wanted. Gas, electric will not do. There is a florida room in the back of the home… brick masonry foundation and windows. I figured I knock a hole in it and install a woodburner. Feasible? If so, how much should I budget for it? Who should I get to do the work for me, what kind of professional?

chrys_folly questioned: My electric fireplace gives off heat, the fan works but the flames won’t flicker and go anymore. They just look like they are frozen in time. Any thoughts on how to get them moving?

Mike Hunt questioned: I never use my gas fireplace because of the cost of natural gas but I want to take my gas logs out, shut off the gas and make it wood burning. Is that possible/safe? It is an all brick fireplace and chimney. It has a honestly large flue so I reckon it could accomodate the smoke. Has anyone done this with a fireplace that was built as gas?

Darren M questioned: Thinking about having a propane gas fireplace installed in place of my ancient wood burning fireplace. What is the typical cost to do this? I already have propane gas at the house.

bob f questioned: I’m looking for an electric fireplace, in oak color, and I was wondering if anyone knows of a excellent website that sells them for about $200? I’ve looked at sears, walmart, target, kmart, homedepot, and then don’t really have any…….If anyone knows of a different website, please let me know.
THANK!!

Crystal M questioned: I have 2 thermostats in my home and one works and warms our house. The other is right next to our fireplace (which I am assuming is electric) and does nothing when I turn it on. What is the problem?
