12 best gas fireplaces
Gas fireplaces are heating appliances that use natural gas or propane to create flames that simulate a traditional wood-burning fireplace. They are a popular choice for homeowners because they offer the warmth and ambiance of a real fire without the hassle and maintenance associated with traditional wood-burning fireplaces. Here are some key points about gas fireplaces:
Fuel Types: Gas fireplaces can be fueled by either natural gas or propane, depending on the availability of gas in your area and your personal preferences. Both types of gas are clean-burning and convenient.
Venting Options: Gas fireplaces can be vented in different ways:
- Direct Vent: These fireplaces have a sealed combustion system, meaning they draw in outside air for combustion and vent the exhaust gases outside. Direct vent gas fireplaces are highly efficient and can be installed in various locations within a home.
- Ventless (Vent-Free): Ventless gas fireplaces do not require a chimney or external vent.Instead, they use a catalytic converter to clean and recycle indoor air. While they are efficient and easy to install, some areas may have regulations restricting their use due to indoor air quality concerns.
- B-Vent (Natural Draft): B-vent gas fireplaces use a conventional chimney or vent pipe to expel combustion byproducts. They are often used when it's not feasible to install a direct vent system.
Heating Efficiency: Gas fireplaces are known for their high heating efficiency. They can efficiently warm a room or even an entire home, depending on the size and model of the fireplace. Many gas fireplaces come with adjustable heat settings to provide the desired level of warmth.
Control Options: Gas fireplaces typically come with remote controls or wall-mounted thermostats, allowing you to adjust the flame height and heat output for convenience and comfort.
Appearance: Gas fireplaces are available in a wide range of styles and designs to match various home aesthetics. They often feature realistic-looking ceramic logs and flame patterns, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
Maintenance: Gas fireplaces require less maintenance compared to wood-burning fireplaces. However, regular cleaning and inspections are still necessary to ensure safety and optimal performance.
Safety: Gas fireplaces are equipped with safety features, such as oxygen depletion sensors and automatic shutoff mechanisms, to ensure safe operation.
Installation: Proper installation by a qualified technician is essential to ensure the gas fireplace operates safely and efficiently. Installation costs may vary depending on factors such as venting requirements and the complexity of the installation.
Environmental Impact: Gas fireplaces are generally considered more environmentally friendly than wood-burning fireplaces because they produce fewer emissions and do not contribute to deforestation.
In summary, gas fireplaces are popular heating appliances that provide the comfort and ambiance of a traditional fireplace without the need for wood. They offer options for different fuel types, venting methods, and control features, making them a versatile and convenient choice for homeowners seeking a cozy and efficient heating solution. Proper installation and maintenance are crucial to ensure safe and effective operation.

User questions & answers
Question: | Does this have a thrmostat to control tempreture and does it have varable flame levels |
Answer: | It does have a thermostat that you set and there is only one level to the flame. We have had this since March and we love it. It doesn't need the blower it warms our whole house at over 1300 square feet. |
Question: | Could this be used for backup heat when you are not home in the event of a power outage |
Answer: | Yes, but with any secondary heater it should not be left unattended. |
Question: | Is the picture that is shown on the gas fireplace with insert, logs and all other accessories minus the blower included with the product? Glass doors |
Answer: | There are no glass doors. They are metal screen type doors. You will receive the fireplace insert with the logs, and the mantel. Anything else would be purchased separate. |
Question: | What is the composition material of the case |
Answer: | I am not sure ours is wood. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Can the flame feature be turned off for use at night in a bedroom (so the room stays dark |
Answer: | Yes, the moving flame feature can be turned off. The logs maintain a very slight glow, that does not disrupt sleep if you wake up in the middle of the night. It's awesome. |
Question: | What kind of functionality does the remote have? Does it have a timer to turn on |
Answer: | The remote has four function buttons: power; flame setting; temperature; timer. The flame height can be adjusted from 1 to 5; level 1 is lighted embers, level 1 is a low flame, etc. The temperature can be set in increments of 2 degress from 62F to 82F. The remote will allow you to see what the temperature is set at, but you have to adjust it manually from the control panel. The timer can be set to turn the unit off, but not on. It starts at 30 minutes and increases in hourly intervals from 1 hour to 9 hours. Unlike the temperature, the timer can be set with the remote. Your local hardware store might have a timer you could attach to it to turn it on automatically. I don't know that for a fact, but I don't see why it wouldn't operate similarly to any other electrical appliance that can be used with a timer. |
Question: | How much does it cost per hour to run |
Answer: | It's a very good and responsible question, and yes, there is a way to answer it. It requires you check your electric bill and so some math, but you really only have to do this once. You're going to calculate how much you pay per kilowatt hour (kWh) which really is just how much it costs to run any electrical item in your home for each 1,000 watts. STEP 1: Find your most recent electric bill, look for any charges that are based on killowatt hours (kWh). For example... I live in NYC, and my probably outrageous bill had (Supply @9.1811 cents per kWh) + (Delivery @12.0324 cents per kWh) + (Clean Energy Benefit @ 0.6811 per kWh). I also note that Sales Tax is 4.5% and write all these down. STEP 2: Add them all up then apply sales tax. So for my bill, I get (9.1811) + (12.0324) + (0.6811) = 21.8946 cents per kWh. To factor in the Sales Tax of 4.5%, I calculate (21.8946) * (1.045) = 22.87986 cents per kWh. I round this up to 23 cents to make it easy, so that means it costs me 23 cents per hour to run a 1,000 watt appliance. STEP 3: Multiply your hourly cost by this appliance's wattage. The details indicate this is heater is 120 Volts at 12.5 Amps. To calculate watts is just (volts) * (amps). So (120 volts) * (12.5 amps) = **1,500 watts**. NOTE: this is very typical for major appliances such as air conditioners, space heaters and even running a clothes iron. With that in hand, multiply the kWh cost from STEP 2 by the wattage of this heater. So for me, since it costs me 23 cents per kWh to run something, that means at 1,500 watts it would cost me (23 cents * 1.5) = 34.5 cents to run this heater every hour. Yes, I rounded up a bit earlier (my real cost is 34.31979), but I like to overestimate just a little to play it safe. STEP 4: Multiply your cost to run this hourly by how many hours you might run it. This is where it gets very controversial because I think most people do not understand their own energy costs or usage and get a shock (no pun intended) from their electric bill. Let's say I run this heater 6 hours per day in a 30 day month. That's 180 hours * 34.5 cents per kWh = $62.10 just to run this one heater. STEP 5: Think about how you're heating your home. Remember that 1,500 watts is VERY common for major appliances as noted above, and other smaller heaters might be around the same, or possibly 1,000 watts. Let's say you're a family with a space heater in each room to keep people warm. Let's imagine those space heaters were 1,000 watts each. That means at 3,000 watts, you'd be paying DOUBLE in electrical costs instead of just having the family huddle together near this large heater in the living room. Summary: Do some due diligence and check your electric bill charges per kWh, then check the wattage of each heating appliance and do some simple math according to many electrical appliances you are running to heat your home. This exercise seriously shouldn't take too long to do, and you can use this same method to understand what it costs for air conditioning in the summer, and even how much it costs to run giant flat screen TVs or computers. Though for those panels it's far less... my 55" flat screen TV runs at 250 watts max, and my computer about 300 watts with monitor, computer and max gaming settings. Heating and air conditioning are what crush your electric bill, so do this and you'll see how valuable it is to have one large machine doing heating/cooling for a large area rather than multiple individual ones. PS: I haven't even bought this yet, but I wanted to help educate the person who asked the question, because this is a VERY important thing that so many people don't do, and I don't like seeing people throw money away. IMO, this is a very good purchase just for saving on electrical costs. |
Question: | is it noisy |
Answer: | Yes the machine is noisy. When the heat is on there is a low drone which isn't bad and is to be expected. The noise from the heater isnt the problem. It's when the flames and heater are on but the heat kicks off bc the room is at the desired temperature. At this point the flames make a very loud and annoying sound. If you lower the flames to the lowest setting this noise too will go away. |

A great addition to your decor, your electric stove heater creates a stylish atmosphere no matter the season when you use the flame effect even without heat.
Infrared Advantages
Like standing in the rays of the sun, infrared technology produces heat that warms you instantly, even as it heats a large area. Plus, infrared heat helps you create a healthier home environment because its gentle heat maintains natural humidity in the air, rather than drying air out, so your family’s skin and airways don’t dry out either. Infrared heating also reduces static electricity, unlike traditional heaters.
Zone Heating Saves You Money
Zone Heating is a simple way to save money. In many homes, certain rooms, like bedrooms, dens, and basements, may not be occupied all day long. With zone heating you can shut off heated air blown in different sections, or zones, so unoccupied space doesn’t get heated. Turning down your thermostat by 10 – 15 degrees for 8 hours can bring you significant savings.*
*Energy Information Administration.
Zone Heating is Green
Zone heating means your family can be more energy efficient by heating only the rooms that are occupied at any given time thereby reducing carbon footprint and doing your part for the environment.
Zone Heating Gives You More Choice
Zone heating gives each member of the household more control to keep the room they’re in set to a comfortable temperature for them.
Zone Heating Helps Extend Furnace and A/C Life
Zone heating can even help to reduce wear and tear on your home’s heating and air conditioning unit, helping you extend the life of your home’s climate control systems.

User questions & answers
Question: | Pilot will not light tried all trouble shooting suggestions still won't work. Could it be a bad regulator? It is a new installation |
Answer: | We had the same problem in the begining, my question is did you use the brass elbow that came with the fireplace, that pushed the blue stem in the back of it? If not that will be your problem, my husband used a regular gas fitting instead of the 90 brass fitting that came with the fireplace, and it wouldn't never start. I suggested us change that out and it lit imediately.. |
Question: | Does it require an ash kit |
Answer: | I don’t know but I wouldn’t recommend purchasing this item. It’s not worth the time and money and their customer service is crap. I waited a lot of money on this |
Question: | It says vent free. The burning of natural gas causes fumes (carbon monoxide) which must be extracted by means of venting, how then is it vent free |
Answer: | Vented units burn more inefficiently, to produce the coloration and effects of a wood fire. Ventless units burn more efficiently, 99% or better, so they consume almost all of the gas. The excess that does escape, escapes back into the room. However, it's in such small amounts that it would take hours of continuous burning before it would be noticeable even to a CO2 detector (which will typically alert LONG before the levels are harmful to you). For this reason, it's against code for ventless units to be installed in sleeping areas and all cautions on the units state not to run the unit while sleeping unless you vent the room. |
Question: | Any positive reviews for this product |
Answer: | Not from me. Stay away from these people. |

Product description
Midwest Hearth Platinum Embers are catalytic embers for your vented gas fireplace or log set. When placed on top of existing mineral wool ember beds, the catalytic embers combust unburned fuel from the burner to provide a dynamically more realistic looking ember. In addition to creating a bright flickering appearance like that of real wood ember beds, these embers radiate broadband infrared heat thus creating a warmer fire and reducing the formation of soot on gas logs.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: Platinum Embers work by combusting fugitive hydrocarbons from the burner catalytically which cause the embers to flow and fluoresce. Good combustion requires fuel and air so proper installation is key to the best aesthetic and efficiency improvements to the fireplace. Begin by lighting the fire after proper installation. Using a pair of long needle nose pliers or hemostats, take a single square of the Platinum Embers, gently pull it apart to expose more air to the internal parts of the ember and place at the base of the fire atop the existing mineral wool fibers, vermiculite, or sand. Once the ember reacts with the fuel and air, it will begin to glow providing a visual indication of how the product is intended to work. Place the remaining embers according to your preference taking care not to clump the material together. If starved for combustion air, the embers will fail to glow. For further assistance, do not hesitate to contact us for more information.

- BRIGHTER - In addition to creating a bright flickering appearance like that of real wood ember beds, these embers radiate broadband infrared heat thus creating a warmer fire and reducing the formation of soot on gas logs
- *USE WITH ROCK WOOL - When placed on top of existing mineral wool ember beds, the catalytic embers combust unburned fuel from the burner to provide a dynamically more realistic looking glowing ember effect
- 5 GRAM BAG - Contains one single bag of five grams of Platinum Bright Embers. This is enough material to dress up log sets up to 42 inches when used with mineral wool

User questions & answers
Question: | what is the size of this product |
Answer: | The little squares are about the size of a dime probably five six dimes High the bag that came in was like a sandwich bag in a way and one thing I bought these to rebuild hand-warmer heads I don't have a fireplace |
Question: | Can this product be used with ventless gas logs |
Answer: | Yes they absolutely can. |
Question: | Can this product be placed on the grate In the middle of the gas log set above the existing embers |
Answer: | It should be placed on top of the existing embers, as it extends their natural look. Contact with the flame is needed for the product to work (glow.) For the best effect, gently pull apart the fibers, which will separate into thin, translucent square layers and then lay them on top of the existing embers. These fibers are very fine like dust, and may irritate the skin or eyes like fiberglass insulation can. Take proper care if you are working around any draft by making the air motionless or by wearing appropriate covering. |
Question: | Do these last or do they burn off after certain time |
Answer: | I'm sure they burn out after a certain time I actually bought these for another purpose to rebuild my hand warmer heads they are also made out of platinum catalyst so in the long run you're asking the wrong person I guess |
