A popular way to save money and energy in your home is to convert a masonry fireplace to a gas fireplace. At Blue Ridge Chimney Services, we can now help you with this home improvement project. We are proud to announce that our staff is now certified by the National Fireplace Institute (NFI). We can sell, install, and service gas fireplace appliances now.
For many years, we have been servicing the Shenandoah Valley region. We provide professional maintenance, repair, and installation for wood-burning fireplaces, stoves, heating appliances, and venting systems. You can expect the same high-quality service from our experienced technicians when it comes to your gas fireplaces too. We would like to tell you more about the benefits of updating your old fireplace to a gas appliance.
Less Maintenance
If you want to enjoy a fire every day in your wood-burning fireplace, you must bring in firewood from storage and sweep up ashes regularly. If your family is tired of having to do these chores, converting your old fireplace to a gas stove insert is a wonderful idea. This allows you to relax and enjoy daily fires without all the work. The only maintenance you will need is a professional inspection service appointment with Blue Ridge Chimney Services.
More Convenience
If you have not used your fireplace as much because of difficulties in the past with getting a good fire going, a gas fireplace is a great option for you. To start a fire, all you have to do is press a button on a remote control device. You can also turn the fire off with the remote control, which means you will not have to wait for the fire to extinguish.
Increased Energy Efficiency
As much as you enjoy fires in your fireplace, it might not provide as much heat as you need. The energy efficiency rating of a wood-burning fireplace can be as low as 15 percent. Blue Ridge Chimney Services can install a new gas stove insert with a higher efficiency rating to give you more heat.
