Gas Fireplace Insert Installed In Existing Wood Burning Fireplace in Port Washington Home

We get calls all the time asking if we can turn a wood burning fireplace into a gas fireplace. Well, of course we can! The fireplace in this photo is just one of many fireplace conversions we’ve done.

What you’re looking at here is a Heat & Glo Grand I-35 gas fireplace insert we installed in an existing wood-burning fireplace. These fireplaces put out 18,500 to 35,000 BTUs, which is more than enough to heat a medium to large sized room. Unlike a traditional fireplace, there’s no heat wasted by going up the chimney. And get this: the operating cost is just 37 cents per hour!

This Heat & Glo fireplace comes with an oak style log set with glowing embers and dual variable speed blowers to circulate the warm air throughout the room. Heat & Glo gives you a choice of four different front door styles in a range of finishes. These homeowners chose the “Halston” model with “New Bronze” finish, and it looks great with the earth-toned bricks in the surround.

What about you? Has schlepping in logs from outdoors and dealing with all the smoke, soot and ash taken all the romance out of your fireplace? A gas fireplace insert may be just the thing to rekindle the flame. With 20 working fireplaces and a wide range of stone surrounds on display, our Waukesha fireplace showroom is a great place to start. Stop in and see what’s possible.
