Professional wood-to-gas conversion for 1970s masonry fireplaces or wood-burning fireplaces eliminates drafts, mess, and maintenance while delivering reliable warmth.
Your traditional wood fireplace is literally sucking hot air out of your home—creating cold drafts and driving up heating costs all winter long. Converting to a gas or electric insert seals that energy drain while giving you instant, controllable heat at the touch of a button. No more cutting, hauling, or storing wood. No more ash cleanup or smoky smells. No more struggling to get fires started. Just beautiful flames and cozy warmth whenever you want it, with the realistic flame appearance of modern Kozy Heat technology that makes flames emerge directly from glowing logs.
Your masonry wood fireplace is costing you money even when you're not using it—cold air infiltration through the chimney makes your heating system work harder all winter long. When you do burn wood, you're introducing smoke, particulates, and potentially dangerous gases into your home's air. Insurance companies often charge higher premiums for active wood-burning fireplaces due to fire risks. Every day you delay conversion is another day of wasted energy, uncomfortable drafts, and the ongoing burden of wood storage and maintenance that modern homeowners shouldn't have to endure.
Check out these key benefits to converting your wood-burning fireplace to a gas or electric fireplace.
