Lots of things need to be refreshed or re-done at our house in Collinsville before it becomes liveable. And, it needs to be liveable by June so we can take on the big job of moving back. Yesterday a fireplace company from Belleville came and not only refaced the main floor fireplace, but put in a gas insert. This fireplace had been wood burning so before anything could be done they had to move a gas line.
All this was done and completed by afternoon. They also were able to begin the same thing on the old gas fireplace in our bedroom. This should be done by later today.
It is expensive burning gas fireplaces, and most of the heat goes up the chimney. Just a heads up, before you get your utility bill. We purchased an LED screen with a heater and it gives the same fireplace glow.

Frank, I'm pretty sure this is not like the old gas fireplaces and is going to be energy efficient.
