Save $75 When You Upgrade to an Energy-Efficient Natural Gas Fireplace
Enjoy the convenience and efficiency of a natural gas fireplace in your home! Direct-vent gas fireplaces are safe and easy to operate, providing energy-efficient heat at the flip of a switch. In fact, installing a natural gas fireplace in the most-used area of your home may help you save money on your heating bills.* Plus, you can get a $75 rebate from Washington Gas when you install a qualifying natural gas fireplace.
- Energy Savings. Energy-efficient natural gas fireplaces can heat up to 1,000 square feet of living space at a reasonable cost. This means that you can turn down your thermostat and use your gas fireplace as the heat source for your most-used space, which can help lower your utility bills.*
- A Warm Home. Using a completely sealed combustion chamber, a direct-vent natural gas fireplace prevents cold air from entering your home when the fireplace is not in use and increases the efficiency of the fire while it is burning. This keeps you and your home warmer throughout the colder months.*
- Versatile. Direct-vent natural gas fireplaces come in a variety of sizes and styles and can be installed in any room.*
