Professional Gas Fireplace Replacement in VA, DC, & MD

The unit is more than 20 years old and uses
outdated technology

 Older fireplaces may lack modern safety features, efficient burners, or the sleek controls available today. If your unit is aging, it may be time to invest in a newer model with advanced features like remote ignition, thermostat control, or smart home compatibility.

You're experiencing repeated repairs or ignition issues

 If you’re constantly calling for service due to pilot outages, ignition delays, or burner malfunctions, the cost of repairs may soon outweigh the investment in a replacement. A new unit will restore reliability while eliminating recurring maintenance expenses.

The flame output is weak or uneven, even after servicing

 A fireplace should provide consistent heat and an attractive flame. If your system produces a low or uneven flame—even after cleaning and tune-ups—it may be due to worn components or internal damage that calls for full replacement.

The fireplace no longer meets modern safety or
efficiency standards

 Changes in building codes and efficiency regulations mean that older units may no longer comply with current standards. Replacing your fireplace ensures you’re using an appliance that’s safe, up to code, and properly ventilated.

You're upgrading your home or business and want a
fresh, updated look

 Remodeling your living room, lobby, or restaurant space? A new fireplace can enhance the aesthetics, complement your new décor, and serve as a striking focal point that elevates your entire design.

You're converting from wood-burning to gas or from
vent-free to direct vent

 Switching to a cleaner-burning, more efficient gas fireplace is one of the most popular reasons for replacement. Whether you want to eliminate the mess of wood or upgrade your vent-free unit to a safer, vented model, we can guide you through the transition.

Direct Vent Fireplaces

These systems use a sealed combustion chamber and vent exhaust gases directly outside—typically through a wall or roof. Direct vent fireplaces are one of the safest and most efficient options available, as they maintain indoor air quality by drawing combustion air from outside. They’re ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, or commercial lounges where safety and performance are a top priority.

B-Vent Fireplaces

Also known as natural draft fireplaces, B-vent systems use ambient air from inside the room for combustion and vent vertically through the roof. Though less efficient than direct vent options, B-vent fireplaces can be a viable solution in homes with existing vertical chimneys or certain legacy commercial buildings.

Custom Commercial Fireplaces

For restaurants, hotels, lobbies, or office buildings, NOVA Gas offers custom-designed commercial fireplace installations that make a bold statement. Whether you need a long linear burner, a see-through unit, or a freestanding centerpiece, we can help specify and install a commercial-grade fireplace that meets both functional and branding needs.
