Why Convert Your Wood Fireplace to Gas?
Many homeowners in New Jersey are choosing to convert their wood fireplaces to gas. Here are some reasons why:
- Convenience: Easily turn on your fireplace with a switch or remote – no more wood chopping or storage required!
- Reduced Maintenance: Gas fireplaces produce less ash and creosote, leading to fewer cleanings and a safer chimney.
- Energy Efficiency: Gas fireplaces can provide zoned heating, allowing you to save on your energy bills while keeping your home warm.
- Environmentally Friendly: Gas burns cleaner than wood, reducing your home’s emissions and improving indoor air quality.
Options for Converting to Gas
At East Coast Fireplace & Chimney Sweeps, we offer several gas fireplace options, depending on your preferences and existing setup:
1. Gas Inserts
A gas insert is a self-contained unit that fits within your existing fireplace. Gas inserts come in a variety of styles, making it easy to find one that complements your home decor.
2. Gas Log Sets
Gas log sets offer the open look of a traditional fireplace with the convenience of gas. They’re a budget-friendly option that provides ambiance without the mess of wood.
3. Direct Vent Gas Fireplaces
For maximum efficiency, consider a direct vent gas fireplace. These units use outdoor air for combustion, venting gases outside. They are highly efficient and don’t require your chimney.

Our CSIA-certified technicians follow a streamlined process to ensure safe, high-quality conversions:
