Wood systems are the more classic way to go, excelling in providing a traditional ambiance and aesthetic. But, just like gas has its advantages and disadvantages, so do wood options.

Sometimes pros and cons lists make decisions easy, while other times they just leave a person with more questions – and more to think about. Here’s the thing when deciding between gas and wood, though… Neither type is necessarily better than the other. It’s more about figuring out which is best for you.
Is your household a busier one? If you find that you’re always out and about, and you just want to be able to sit down and enjoy your fireplace when you’re finally home at the end of the day – without having to put any extra work into the process – then we would definitely recommend a gas system.
If you want a fireplace because you love the classic and timeless feel they add to a living space and find the idea of managing one appealing, then maybe opting for wood would be the better route.
In our opinion, you can’t go wrong either way – why?
Basically… whichever option you pick, you’ll end up with a great system in your home – especially if you work with us. Have any questions?

Fireplace replacements for your New Braunfels area home, whether it is gas, wood burning, or gas log models, are something we recommend leaving to a certified, reputable, and experienced team of chimney technicians. New installation and replacement jobs are complex and require specialized knowledge and appropriate tools – meaning they should only be left in the hands of those who are trained and well-versed on chimneys, fireplaces, and all of their various parts.
A big reason for this is efficiency. If you’re investing in a new fireplace, stove, or insert, then you want it to function right – and function well. If your system ends up failing in terms of heat output and overall efficiency, it will result in less comfort for your home, a decrease in home value, and likely the need for professional maintenance and costly repairs later on.
More importantly, though, improper installation can invite safety hazards. Remember that these systems produce literal fires inside your home. A poorly built bookshelf might not look or function the best, but does it present any serious safety hazards? Probably not. An improperly installed fireplace, on the other hand, can invite some major threats, namely fire hazards and carbon monoxide leaks, both of which put your household at risk.
The cost of a fireplace replacement job can vary quite a bit, depending on the type of appliance, the fuel it uses, the size of the system you need, the condition of your current fireplace and chimney, and more. Because of this, providing an accurate estimate (without any specific details) isn’t so simple.
To get the most accurate quote possible, we suggest giving us a call. We won’t be able to provide you anything definitive until we know more about your unique setup and circumstances. Once we perform a thorough inspection and get a better idea of your overall vision, we’ll know a lot more about what to expect – and how much money you’ll need to invest to get there.
Absolutely. Wood-burning fireplaces are great, but if you’re ready to switch to a more efficient and easier-to-maintain gas-fueled option, you might be wondering what that process might entail. Is it time-consuming? Costly? Stressful?
Well, it depends on your unique needs and wishes, but oftentimes this process is a lot more streamlined and simple than a homeowner might think.
One of the easier ways to switch from wood to gas is by having a gas insert installed into your open wood fireplace. We’ll just install the insert into your pre-existing setup and you’ll be all set. Another big plus side of this is that it won’t alter the look and feel of your space all that much.
You’ll also need to consider your current gas line situation. Sometimes, homeowners require gas line installation services before they can get their new setup up and running – which will wind up adding more to that final bill.
Once you have a new system installed, you may be wondering what types of maintenance it requires. Do newer systems need less care? Does heightened efficiency, an appliance upgrade, or a change in fuel type affect how often you’ll need to book inspections, sweepings, and other professional services?
Well, this is a complex question that actually has an easy answer – no matter your fuel type, appliance type, or your system’s efficiency level, annual inspections are always going to be recommended.
Annual inspections will ensure everything is running as safely and as efficiently as possible, and that any damages, buildup, or missing/broken parts are promptly spotted and addressed. Remember – no matter what type of system you’re using, a fire is being lit inside of your home. Yearly checks guarantee this act is being done as safely as possible.
