Should I shut off the pilot light for the Spring & Summer months when I'm not using my gas stove? No. Some spiders are attracted to the smell of gas and may build nests in the pilot line, clogging it. For pennies a day, it's worthwhile to keep the pilot lit and avoid an unnecessary service call before you can begin heating again. I don't currently have gas service to my house, but there is a gas main in the street. Can you install a gas fireplace insert in my home? Yes. The gas company is responsible for bringing gas service from the street to your home. All it takes is a phone call to them. Typically they'll bring the gas to your house and install the meter at no cost to you. Once the gas company has finished, give us a call and we can install any gas burning product you may have. I'm thinking of buying a gas stove for my living room. Are there any restrictions as to where it can be placed? Yes. There are certain restrictions that apply state wide. Your local hearth product retailer is usually a good resource for this type of information. Additional requirements may apply, depending on what town you live in. When we do our pre-install inspection, we will point out any code requirement issues that may be present. This morning I noticed a distinct smell of gas in my living room. Who should I call? Call your gas provider immediately. While the source of the smell may or may not be that of a gas leak, your first call should always be to your natural gas supplier. I'm looking for a website that allows me to compare different makes and models of stoves and fireplace inserts. Is there a good Cape Cod based hearth product retailer on the internet? Yes.
