Find the tag on the fireplace unit and note the Input rating, then divide that # by 1000 and the answer is the # of cubic feet of gas the burner burns in one hour. Or watch your gas meter for 60 seconds and note the cubic feet used and multiply that times 60 and again you have your cubic feet per hour #, use this method if you don`t see a tag. Be sure no other gas appliances in the home are operating while you are reading the meter. Then look at your gas bill and see what a cubic foot of gas costs you and multiply that by cubic feet per hour it uses times the # of hours you run it per night and you have your answer.

How much does it cost to change your existing fireplace into a gas one?
The cost to change your existing fireplace into a gas fireplace will vary a great deal depending on your local economy. You have 4 factors to consider: 1. Do you have propane or natural gas? 2. The price of the gas log and burner kit that YOU should supply the plumber. 3. Is your gas log fireplace supposed to be vented or not? 4. How far away is the closest gas supply to your fireplace? The plumber will have to run a gas line to your fireplace, drill the fireplace and install the gas logs and possibly close the flu or vent in your existing chimney. That will be anywhere from 3 to 6 hours of labor, depending on all of the above items. Each house is different. Remember though, once you convert, you can no longer burn wood in your fireplace. I would guess the total cost could be as low as $400 or as high as $1000, but most plumbers would give you a free estimate. Contact a few licensed plumbing contractors in your area and get a few estimates.

How much does it cost to convert a wood burning fireplace to a gas fireplace?
It is not as bad as you think, the most difficult part is deciding whether to keep it as a gas fireplace or a wood burning fireplace with a gas lighter; so you can have both. Decide the gas to be used, Natural gas or LP (pretty much determined by what is already available) The fireplace itself needs little modification except the gas supply and available electrical circuit (depending what type/style gas fireplace you want.) If you decide on gas with artificial logs, then running black pipe to copper lines is all you need. If you are going to burn gas and use wood then run black pipe throughout (remember to use a cement product, for high heat, to seal any new whole in the fireplace.) Note: Either way you decide thoroughly clean the chimney and fireplace and inspect the doors, damper, flue, and look for cracks in the fireplace. I mention this because it is probably the last time you will need to do that. I have converted fireplaces in both ways; gas to wood burner and wood burner to gas. The insert is the biggest expense you will have, you can easily spend $600 on just those parts; not installed. And please don't forget to install and easily accessible gas shutoff valve.
