Gas Logs in a Historic Fireplace
Many older Ravenswood homes have small, shallow fireplaces built for burning coal or wood. Not every log set fits safely in a firebox like that, and the chimney has to be in good shape before any gas appliance is used. We help you choose a log set sized for the firebox, run the gas line and valve and test everything. A chimney professional should inspect the flue first.
What Affects the Price of Fireplace Work
A service visit is simple. A failed part depends on the fireplace. Running gas to an old masonry fireplace depends on the route through the building. We diagnose and quote a flat price.
