You can convert your old wood burning fireplace into a gas hearth by installing a gas fireplace insert.  Gas fireside inserts will include a gas log which is place on either a steel or cast iron heat exchanger.  The front of these units is usually sealed with glass and they regularly include blowers which allow the hot air to be circulated throughout the room.  Some gas fireside inserts will have a remote control which enables you to turn them on and off from the comfort of your sofa.  There are many different options when it comes to BTU output so you can choose the perfect size for your fire and your room.  

Most of the gas fireplace inserts sold nowadays will feature a direct vent system.  They’re going to have two pipes leading to the exterior of your home.  One pipe will bring in the fresh air needed for combustion while the other pipe will vent out the exhaust.  The vent system wishes to be properly installed so the unit can operate safely and efficiently.  Other gas fireplace systems will use an one pipe system.  These types are usually not as efficient. 

Installing a gas hearth insert is a pretty reasonable home improvement project.  The inserts will customarily sell for anywhere from a thousand greenbacks to three thousand dollars.  The cost to install the unit could run as much as an extra thousand dollars.  Once the unit is installed they can actually save you money over using your wood burning fireplace.  Because they are far better they are going to be able to provide much greater heat using less fuel.  With a wood burning fireplace almost all of the heat which is produced ends up going right up the chimney.  A gas fireside insert will use almost all of the heat to actually warm your house.
