Gas Log Installation in Connecticut
Gas logs can change the way an existing fireplace is used, but the fireplace and venting still need to be appropriate for the selected system. ABC Chimney Solutions evaluates the fireplace, coordinates qualified gas work when required and completes the fireplace-side installation as part of a finished project.
Evaluate before installing
ABC Chimney Solutions checks the existing fireplace and chimney conditions before installation so a gas log set is not placed into a fireplace with an unresolved masonry, damper or venting issue.

Installation Inclusions
Also part of Fireplaces & Stoves
A fireplace or stove installation is more than placing an appliance in a room. The appliance, clearances, hearth, liner or vent system, chimney route, electrical needs, gas work and manufacturer instructions all have to work together. ABC Chimney Solutions can plan and manage the complete installation from the existing structure to the finished system.
Wood & Pellet Stove Installation
Wood and pellet stoves sized, vented and installed — hearth, clearances and liner included.

Questions & Answers
Gas Log Installation — frequently asked
What homeowners ask ABC Chimney Solutions most often about gas log installation.
Do you install gas log sets in existing fireplaces?
Yes. ABC Chimney Solutions installs gas log systems and evaluates the existing fireplace and venting before the new system is put into service. Learn more about this service.
Can you coordinate the gas connection?
Yes. ABC Chimney Solutions can coordinate a qualified gas professional when the installation requires licensed gas work, or work with a professional selected by the homeowner. Learn more about this service.
What does ABC Chimney Solutions mean by evaluate before installing?
ABC Chimney Solutions checks the existing fireplace and chimney conditions before installation so a gas log set is not placed into a fireplace with an unresolved masonry, damper or venting issue. Learn more about this service.
What are gas logs?
A gas burner and log set fitted into an existing fireplace, so the opening keeps its appearance rather than being filled with an appliance. It is one of the things ABC Chimney Solutions assesses when it looks at gas log installation. Learn more about this service.
How are they different from a gas insert?
Logs largely keep the fireplace as it is; an insert is a sealed appliance aimed at producing usable heat. They vent differently and suit different aims. This is part of what ABC Chimney Solutions checks before quoting gas log installation. Learn more about this service.
Does the chimney need to stay open?
That depends on the type of log set, and it is one of the details that must match the specific appliance rather than being assumed. ABC Chimney Solutions works to this on every gas log installation job it takes on. Learn more about this service.
Do gas logs produce much heat?
Less than a sealed appliance, because an open fireplace loses heat up the flue. Where heat is the aim, an insert is usually the better answer. It is one of the things ABC Chimney Solutions assesses when it looks at gas log installation. Learn more about this service.
Does the fireplace still need inspecting?
Yes. The flue, damper and masonry still matter, and the fireplace is still a chimney even with a gas appliance in it. ABC Chimney Solutions covers this as part of its gas log installation work in Connecticut. Learn more about this service.
Who connects the gas?
ABC Chimney Solutions can coordinate qualified trades for licensed gas work as part of the project. 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 log installation. 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 log installation. Learn more about this service.
Will a wood stove heat my whole house?
That depends on the house, the layout and the appliance. ABC Chimney Solutions would rather size and site a stove for what it can genuinely do than sell one on a claim the building will not support. Learn more about this service.
Can a stove go in a room with no chimney?
Often yes, using a listed chimney system rather than an existing masonry flue, routed through walls, ceilings or the roof as the building allows. ABC Chimney Solutions works to this on every gas log installation job it takes on. 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.
