Gas logs for fireplace — Rockford, IL
Last updated: September 24, 2026
What affects the price
When estimating a gas fireplace project, several variables shift the final number. The type of unit—whether you choose a direct vent, vent-free, or an insert—plays a big role. You also have to account for the labor required to run new gas lines or update venting through your walls and roof. Customizing the surround, including stone, tile, or a new mantel, adds to the material costs. If you are converting an existing wood-burning fireplace, the complexity of the chimney liner installation will impact the total. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

What is the difference between a fireplace gas insert and a direct vent gas fireplace?
A fireplace gas insert is designed to fit inside an existing masonry or manufactured fireplace. A direct vent gas fireplace is a type of insert (or a complete unit) that uses a sealed combustion system and vents directly outside through a wall or the roof. This sealed system is highly efficient and safe, as it doesn't draw air from your home. Both types offer convenience and ambiance.
