converting wood burning fireplace to gas

[Anonymous]

Can anyone recommend a good company in NOVA? Also, if you had it done, how much did it cost? Thanks

From a price standpoint Offenbackers offered us the best price by far. However, our sales associated was not very good. Initially sold us a model no longer made and he also would not write down items we wanted and then would order the wrond thing. The installation guys were good and the folks in the main office who we had to deal with extensively due to all the problems caused by the sales associate were also good. The cost was about $7,500 which included converting two fireplaces one with an insert and one with a log set (with added fireplace doors) as well as running gas from one side of the house to the other. The gas work was about 2 grand. Other places quated over $6,000 for the gas work alone. We are now very happy and use the gas fireplaces all the time in fall and winter when we hardly ever used the wood ones. I must reiterate that the sales associate made this a time consumming and frustrating process.

Bumping to see if others had recommendations and can post their costs.

Our fireplace sits directly above the furnace, so the gas line is very close. Hoping that reduces costs.

Woodburners II. We used them a few years back to convert wood to gas (two fireplaces, both log sets), and we had to run the gas line over our roof (townhouse). I want to say it was around $5K, but my memory could be failing me.

Has anyone added a basement fireplace that needs a direct venting routed to another part of the house?
