Gas Appliances
As much as you love your masonry fireplace, you may be noticing that it is not energy efficient as it use to be. It is likely time to update. If you are looking for an economical way to heat your home, All American Chimney Service suggests converting your old fireplace to a gas appliance. We sell and install a wide range of gas fireplace appliances such as gas logs and gas fireplace inserts. We would like to tell you more about these efficient and safe appliances.
GAS LOGS
If you are looking for a way to provide supplemental heat to a specific area of your home, gas logs is a great choice. You may be worried that a set of gas logs will look artificial, but you will be surprised at our selection of realistic looking logs. After you’ve made your decision, our chimney technicians can also install them into your existing fireplace and show you how to operate them. You can rest easy knowing that we are here for you!

GAS FIREPLACE INSERTS
However, if your top priority for a new gas fireplace appliance is high heat input, All American Chimney Service recommends updating your existing fireplace with a Valor direct vent gas fireplace insert. They are also known as the “smart fireplace”. A direct vent gas fireplace insert is a sealed system, which means the indoor air quality of your home is protected, as the byproducts of the combustion never enter your home. You will also save a bit of money on your utility bills, thanks to the engineered flue system that pulls air for combustion from outside. If you need to heat a large space, we also have inserts that can heat an area up to 2,000 square feet. No matter what your interior design tastes is, we know we have the right style for you at theValor Design Center.
