Benefits Of Installing A Gas Log Set In Your Fireplace

Whether it’s reducing heating costs, ease of use, or lower maintenance, homeowners in Pensacola and around the Florida Panhandle will enjoy many amazing benefits from having the certified hearth specialists at Doodlebuggers® install a gas log set in your fireplace.

We also have gas fireplace inserts that we install directly inside the opening of a traditional wood-burning fireplace, giving you all the benefits of a traditional fireplace experience with the safety and convenience of propane or natural gas.

Enjoy A Realistic Flame Experience

Modern gas fireplaces have come a long way and now offer a comparable visually appealing flame experience that rivals a traditional wood-burning fireplace. The ceramic logs look just like natural wood down to the unique grain patterns. There are also many different sets of gas logs available, so you can choose the style that will be most appealing for your fireplace.

Gas Fireplaces are Incredibly Energy-Efficient

Reducing heating costs is an excellent reason to install a gas log set in your fireplace. The residential electricity rate in Fort Walton Beach is among the highest in the nation. On the other hand, natural gas is about 70% cheaper than electricity, based on average Florida gas utility rates. Using a gas fireplace for home heating in the winter can significantly cut your electric bill.

A gas fireplace has a built-in thermostat, so you can control the heat level to keep your family warm and cozy during those cold spells. The cleaner-burning fuel is also more environmentally friendly.

Provides Continuous Heat

One of the most significant benefits of installing a gas fireplace is providing safe, reliable, and continuous heat. You can install a gas fireplace in your living room, bedroom, or any room in your home and can leave it running all day long, even while you’re asleep. You can’t do that with a wood-burning fireplace due to the risk of fire from leaving a wood fire unattended. The thermostat will automatically control the gas fireplace to maintain the desired comfort level.

Easier to Operate

Gas log fireplaces are easier to operate. There’s no sourcing or chopping wood, tending fires, and dumping ash. Instead, using a gas fireplace is as easy as flipping a switch, just like turning on a light in your home. Depending on the model and features, you can adjust the heat and flames using a thermostat mounted on a wall, remote control, or at the fireplace.

Requires Less Maintenance

Gas fireplaces require less maintenance because you don’t have to worry about creosote buildup like you do with a wood-burning fireplace. Just occasional cleaning to remove dust and debris is all that is required to maintain your gas fireplace. However, an annual gas fireplace safety inspection is necessary to ensure there are no loose or broken parts, clogged burners, or gas leaks.
