The Smart Upgrade from Wood to Gas

A gas fireplace gives you all the warmth and ambiance of a wood fire — without the work. No chopping wood, no hauling logs, no cleaning ash, no creosote buildup. Just turn it on and enjoy the heat.

Modern gas fireplaces are also significantly more efficient than wood — up to 90% efficient vs. 10-30% for traditional masonry fireplaces. They heat a room faster, hold temperature better, and can operate during power outages with a battery backup.

  • Instant on/off — no waiting for a fire to build
  • Remote control and smart thermostat compatible
  • Operates during power outages (with battery backup)
  • No ash, no creosote, no chimney cleaning needed
  • Up to 90% more efficient than a wood-burning fireplace

Common Gas Fireplace Questions

How much does gas fireplace installation cost in Connecticut?

Installation costs vary based on the model, gas line requirements, and venting complexity. A basic gas insert conversion typically runs $2,500–$4,500 installed. A new zero-clearance fireplace with gas line work can range from $3,500–$7,000+. We provide detailed written quotes after a free consultation — no surprises.

Do I need a propane tank to run a gas fireplace?

Yes — if your home isn't on natural gas, you'll need a propane tank. CPP installs tanks as well as fireplaces, so we handle everything in one project. We'll recommend the right tank size for your home.

How long does gas fireplace installation take?

Most installations are completed in one day. If significant gas line work is needed or you're in a historic home requiring extra care, we may schedule two days. We'll tell you exactly what to expect before we start.

Can a gas fireplace heat my whole house?

A gas fireplace can serve as a primary heat source for small homes or as a zone heater for the main living area in larger homes. High-output models (40,000+ BTU) can effectively heat 1,000–1,500 sq ft. We'll help you size correctly.

What's the difference between vented and ventless gas fireplaces?

Vented fireplaces exhaust combustion gases outside through a flue or direct-vent pipe. Ventless fireplaces burn so cleanly they don't require a vent — but Connecticut code restricts their use in bedrooms and limits their BTU output. We'll explain which option fits your home and budget.

Does CPP handle permits for gas fireplace installation?

Yes — we pull all required Connecticut building permits and coordinate inspections as part of our installation service. You don't need to contact the town building department.
