How To Install a Modern Gas Fireplace | This Old House
/ thisoldhouse
Absolutely!
That's actually pretty neat for a gas fireplace. I like the simplicity.
yeah it looks simple..it looks bloody awfull..those big windows in that nice room deserve better than this...
That style of fireplace would look great with some orange shag carpet, a pea soup green sofa, striped metallic wallpaper, and a couple of beanbag chairs.
These are popular in luxurious places in Aus. I think they'll look date in a couple of years.
Im not sold on this idea.!!!
Looks like it's going to fall on the floor with those flimsy brackets. I also take issue with the fact that they're using the same size flue for gas and wood.
I paid about $200 for a gas log kit and about another $100 for all the piping to convert my fireplace. I can only imagine what it would cost to have something like this installed.
More for style, not much efficiency, ton of heat goes right up and out the uninsulated pipe.
John P, you are correct. The gas and electric utilities love these fireplaces. The heat goes up the flu in the winter time and in the summer time with that damper locked open the heat gets sucked right into the house. No glass doors when the unit is not in use ,another big plus for the utility companies. I'm not sure what This Old House was thinking when they produced this video. I was in the gas utility industry for over 35 years & this technology was old when I started in the business.
It's more of an aesthetic feature than a utility.
But uninsulated pipe is going to let heat back into the house. The exhaust fumes are hotter than the room temp. The reason they're not insulated is because you don't need to worry about creosote build up and thus you could need to keep the heat going up the pipe (as much).
False. Uninsulated pipe will get more heat into the house. This is better than most fireplaces since the heat transfer area into the house is massive.
@@Xelbiuj when a hot pipe meets the freezing air outside you'll have creosote no? This is is why you can find yt vids of aircrete insulated exhaust pipes for stoves
It is not about insulation of the pipe exterior, but that straight shaft to out.
If you want to have heating working, you would need to have a heat elements inside the shaft, and the heated air to go around the shaft, so most of the heat would be collected and stored to the fireplace before it gets ventilated out.
Cocklestoves are thats why best for heating, but takes little more space, are heavier, but you can't make them as pretty as these American traditional fireplaces.
British and Americans don't really do good fireplaces like Europeans in colder climate does. Where with one batch burning you heat the room for few days.
And in summer times you can open direct shaft that bypass reserves and all heat goes out.
Traveling through USA, UK and India (and many countries in Africa that were under Britain) and you can see these awful fireplaces all over... Straight chimney to out, no insulation to compensate with external temperature etc. It is like everything designed for Santa Claus to get through the chimney....
Happy Christmas 2019...
what is the cost of the fireplace?
an arm and a leg ... 8 to 15k
@@cjjames83 well dang!! I already gave an arm and a leg for Halloween decorations
Where you buy dat sumbich?
Wow 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
How can I find someone to help me install something like this. I already have the vintage fireplace, I just can't find anyone who will install it. (San Diego, CA)
Hope there's some kind of screen or something to keep the cats out, they'd just love to crawl into it and someday the home owner will forget and fire it up with their pet inside.
I have never thought about that
Well it still would be good barbecue
that happened to dude i knew. cat was roasted
Only if you have cat
That thing had nine lives she just spent em all, whew!
I’m going to cut this cutting-edge fireplace.
Where does the fresh air come from?
Not in my store
It is "beautiful and modern" because it is French design? I am trying to gauge the psychological effect of the word French. To me, I will pass at my first glance because the real modern/current gas fireplace in almost every US's house looks and functions much better.
Nice showing a modern fireplace. But this was a high end style. You
Should show both types....🙄
200lbs! Those guys lifted it no problem. I'm not buying it
I want one come to Ga. Ron
Real men use wood.
Gerard Comeau I agree.. Burning real wood beings a lot of enjoyable details. The smell, putting more on it, the sounds, starting it up, seeing the glowing coal afterwards. Gas is just boring, though easy.
I never understood the appeal of a gas fireplace, maybe a gas furnace or boiler. I like wood fireplaces, for many reasons; STHF survive being at the top, romantic reasons following.
Hideous
Roast s’mores
That thing is ugly. What's wrong with a brick fireplace? Sometimes the original things are the best things to have. This modern stuff is ugly and maybe hard to clean or repair down the line. Still with original.
200lbs lifted by 2 person
Satria Hadjo Baru thats not heavy for two people lol
It is only ~90 kg, so even one person can lift it up. But that shape ain't so nice and it is always easier with a buddy.....
paristo Yeah you can do that once for experiment to see how much you can lift.. But not as daily job installing these things. I do have the experience of back injury and it’s worse than having teeth extracted at the dentist. At some point you’ve got to accept you’re just a human and not a big manly hulk.
@@Engineer9736 As I said, one can do it (not everyone) but it is easier with a buddy (to avoid injury, breaking something or not able attach it etc).
Yeah any guy can lift 200lbs, the problem is getting a handle on the odd shapes.

Trump in this stove? Or what do you mean
TRUMP FTW 2020 KAG!~
