Gas Fireplace Installation
Real flame at the push of a button, with no wood to haul and no ashes to clean. Our team handles the venting, gas line, and finish.
A gas fireplace sounds like the easy option until you get into the details. Which venting will work in your home? Is there gas close enough, or does a new line need to be run? Can your old wood-burning fireplace be converted, or does it need an insert? Getting any of those wrong means poor heat, a unit that won't stay lit, or a safety problem.
At Heat'n Sweep, gas fireplace installation is part of what you buy. You choose your gas fireplace, insert, or log set in our Okemos showroom, and our team handles the rest. We plan the venting, run the gas line in-house, install to the manufacturer's specifications, and take care of permits and HOA approval.
When we're done, you have a fireplace that lights every time and a team that knows exactly how it was installed.
Gas Fireplace Installation Options
Direct-Vent Gas Fireplaces
A sealed unit that pulls combustion air from outside and vents out an exterior wall or the roof. No chimney needed, so it can go in a room that has never had a fireplace.
Gas Fireplace Inserts
An insert fits into your existing wood-burning fireplace and vents through a new liner in the chimney. It turns a drafty, low-heat fireplace into an efficient heat source.
Gas Log Sets
The quickest way to switch an existing fireplace to gas. A burner and realistic logs go right into your firebox for an easy-start fire with no wood.

Gas Log Installation
Gas logs are a good fit when you want the look of a wood fire in your existing fireplace without the work. There are two main types, and the right one depends on how you plan to use it.
- Vented gas logs give you the tallest, most natural-looking flames. They burn with the damper open and vent through your chimney like a wood fire, so they're mainly for looks rather than heat.
- Vent-free gas logs burn more efficiently and put more heat into the room. They have stricter sizing and room requirements, and local codes decide where they can be used.
We help you choose the right type, check your chimney and damper, run the gas line to the firebox, and set the logs and embers so the flame looks natural from every angle. If you want more heat than a log set can give, we'll walk you through a gas insert instead.

Gas Fireplace Installation FAQs
Do I need a chimney for a gas fireplace?
No. A direct-vent gas fireplace vents through an exterior wall or the roof, so it can go in almost any room. If you already have a chimney, we can often vent through it with a liner.
Can you convert my wood-burning fireplace to gas?
Yes. You can add a gas log set for the look of a wood fire, or a gas insert for real heat. We inspect your fireplace and chimney first and help you pick the right option.
What's the difference between gas logs and a gas insert?
Gas logs sit in your open fireplace and are mostly about the look of the fire. An insert is a sealed unit with a glass front that vents through a liner and heats the room far more efficiently.
Can a gas fireplace run on propane?
Most gas fireplaces and log sets are available for natural gas or propane. We confirm your fuel type during the assessment and set up the unit for it.
