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.
