Frequently Asked Questions About Taylor's Hearth & Leisure
1. What’s the difference between a gas fireplace and an electric fireplace?
Gas fireplaces use natural gas or propane to create real flames and heat, while electric fireplaces use LED lights and heating elements to simulate fire. Electric options are vent-free and easy to install, making them popular for Long Island homes and condos.
2. Which type of fireplace is better for my home?
It depends on your goals. Gas fireplaces offer real flame realism and higher heat output, while electric fireplaces provide easy installation, low maintenance, and year-round ambiance.
3. Do gas or electric fireplaces need a chimney?
Gas fireplaces may require venting depending on the model, but electric fireplaces are 100% vent-free — perfect for homes without chimneys or for remodeling projects across New York.
4. Can I install a fireplace in any room?
Electric fireplaces can go virtually anywhere with an outlet — living rooms, bedrooms, even basements. Gas fireplaces can be installed in most rooms too, as long as there’s access to a gas line and proper venting.
5. Are fireplaces safe for children and pets?
Yes. Modern gas fireplaces come with safety screens and sensors, while electric units stay cool to the touch. Always follow manufacturer safety guidelines.
6. Do gas fireplaces provide real heat?
Yes — gas fireplaces generate real heat using natural gas or propane and can efficiently warm large spaces, making them ideal for Long Island winters.
7. How efficient are gas fireplaces compared to wood-burning ones?
Gas fireplaces convert up to 70–90% of their fuel into usable heat, while wood fireplaces average only 10–20%. They also burn cleaner with fewer emissions.
8. Can I control the flame or heat on a gas fireplace?
Yes. Many models include remotes or smart controls so you can adjust flame height, temperature, and even LED accent lighting.
9. Do I need professional installation for a gas fireplace?
Absolutely. Gas lines and venting should always be installed by licensed professionals to meet New York safety codes.
10. How often should I service a gas fireplace?
Once per year is recommended. Annual inspections keep your unit safe, efficient, and ready for the colder months.
