Gas Fireplace Conversion in Connecticut
Converting a fireplace to gas can involve the appliance, venting, gas supply, electrical components and finish work. ABC Chimney Solutions manages the chimney and fireplace side of the project and can coordinate qualified gas and electrical professionals when their work is required.
The existing chimney still matters
Before a gas appliance is installed, ABC Chimney Solutions checks the fireplace, chimney and venting path for the new system rather than assuming the old wood-burning configuration is automatically correct for the gas appliance.
A finished project
The company can remove an old appliance or venting as agreed, complete masonry and surround changes, coordinate gas or electrical scope, and test the finished fireplace system so the homeowner is not left managing disconnected pieces of the conversion.

ABC Chimney Solutions can plan and manage the complete installation from the existing structure to the finished system.

Questions & Answers
Gas Fireplace Conversion — frequently asked
What homeowners ask ABC Chimney Solutions most often about gas fireplace conversion.
Can you convert a wood-burning fireplace to gas?
Yes. ABC Chimney Solutions performs fireplace and fuel conversions and can coordinate the venting, fireplace modifications and qualified gas or electrical work required for the project. Learn more about this service.
Do I need to hire my own gas professional?
Not necessarily. ABC Chimney Solutions can coordinate a qualified gas professional when the project requires that scope, or the homeowner can choose to use a professional of their own. Learn more about this service.
Can you finish the masonry and surround after the conversion?
Yes. ABC Chimney Solutions can complete the agreed masonry, hearth, surround and finish work so the gas conversion can be delivered as a finished fireplace project. Learn more about this service.
What does ABC Chimney Solutions mean by the existing chimney still matters?
Before a gas appliance is installed, ABC Chimney Solutions checks the fireplace, chimney and venting path for the new system rather than assuming the old wood-burning configuration is automatically correct for the gas appliance. Learn more about this service.
What does ABC Chimney Solutions mean by a finished project?
ABC Chimney Solutions works to this on every job. The company can remove an old appliance or venting as agreed, complete masonry and surround changes, coordinate gas or electrical scope, and test the finished fireplace system so the homeowner is not left managing disconnected pieces of the conversion. Learn more about this service.
Can any wood fireplace be converted to gas?
Most can, but what is possible depends on the existing chimney, the appliance chosen and what its venting requires. That is established before the work is quoted. ABC Chimney Solutions works to this on every gas fireplace conversion job it takes on. Learn more about this service.
Why do people convert?
Convenience and control, usually. A gas appliance lights instantly, produces no creosote and needs no fuel stored, which suits a fireplace used on weeknights rather than weekends. ABC Chimney Solutions works to this on every gas fireplace conversion job it takes on. Learn more about this service.
Does the chimney still need attention afterwards?
Yes. A gas appliance produces no creosote but its flue can still block, corrode or terminate incorrectly, so it is inspected rather than ignored. It is one of the things ABC Chimney Solutions assesses when it looks at gas fireplace conversion. Learn more about this service.
Is the existing flue reusable?
Only if it matches what the new appliance requires. Reusing venting because it is already there is one of the more common faults found on gas conversions. ABC Chimney Solutions can tell you which applies to your chimney when it looks at gas fireplace conversion. Learn more about this service.
Who does the gas connection?
ABC Chimney Solutions can coordinate qualified trades where a project needs licensed gas work alongside the chimney and venting. Learn more about this service.
Can it be converted back to wood later?
Sometimes, though it depends what was changed. It is worth raising before the conversion rather than after. ABC Chimney Solutions can tell you which applies to your chimney when it looks at gas fireplace conversion. Learn more about this service.
Can any fireplace take an insert?
Not automatically. The insert has to fit the firebox and connect to a venting system suitable for that appliance, so ABC Chimney Solutions checks the fireplace dimensions, flue, chimney height and clearances before recommending one. Learn more about this service.
Do I need a liner with an insert or stove?
A full liner connection from the appliance to the top of the chimney is generally recommended, because it gives a controlled venting path of the right size rather than discharging into an oversized masonry flue. ABC Chimney Solutions can tell you which applies to your chimney when it looks at gas fireplace conversion. Learn more about this service.
Can I convert a wood fireplace to gas?
In many cases yes, and it is one of the more common requests. What is possible depends on the existing chimney, the appliance chosen and what the venting requires; ABC Chimney Solutions can coordinate qualified trades for the gas connection. Learn more about this service.
What is the difference between gas logs and a gas insert?
Gas logs sit in an existing fireplace and largely keep its character; an insert is a sealed appliance fitted into the opening and is about getting usable heat out of it. They vent differently and suit different aims. Ask ABC Chimney Solutions about it when you book gas fireplace conversion. Learn more about this service.

What Homeowners Say
Reviews from the towns we work in
Eight of the several thousand chimneys we have swept, lined and rebuilt across Connecticut.
The inspection found a cracked clay liner two other companies had missed. Relined in stainless the following week and the smoke coming back into the room stopped dead.
Open fire had not been swept in six years. They pulled out a shocking amount of creosote, sheeted the whole hearth, and left the room spotless.
Damp was coming through the chimney breast for two winters. They traced it to a failed crown, recast it and waterproofed the brickwork — bone dry since.
Flashing had lifted and the damper had seized shut. Both repaired in one visit, and they showed me the before and after photos on the roof.

Full stack rebuild above the roofline on a 1920s house. They matched the original brick and mortar so closely the neighbors asked who did our repointing.
Booked the sweep on Monday, done Tuesday. The photographs and written flue report are more thorough than the survey we paid for when we bought the place.
Our wood stove never drew properly. They worked out the flue was oversized for the appliance, fitted an insulated liner, and it lights first time now.
Needed the chimney looked at fast for a house sale. On the roof the next morning, and I had a clear answer and a price the same afternoon.
