Replacing an old gas fireplace
Why replacing?
Two of the main reasons to replace your gas fireplace are safety and cost. Modern decorative fireplaces are much safer to use. There is no risk of gas leaks, and they do not produce harmful emissions like carbon monoxide. Moreover, gas fireplaces require regular maintenance to remain safe and efficient, while decorative fireplaces are easier to maintain and do not require regular inspections.
How do I choose the right fireplace?
When choosing the right decorative fireplace, it is important to first determine what you are looking for. Do you primarily want warmth, real flames, convenience, ambiance, or a combination of both? Also consider the style of your interior. Xaralyn offers fireplaces in various designs, from classic to modern. Choose a fireplace that harmoniously matches the rest of your decor. The size of the room where you want to place the fireplace also plays an important role. A large fireplace can overwhelm a small space, while a small fireplace might not be sufficient for a large room. Also, consider the ease of installation. Some decorative fireplaces require more work to install, while others can be easily installed by yourself. Xaralyn offers decorative fireplaces in various price ranges, so there is always an option that fits within your budget.
Easy Installation without a Chimney
Installing a decorative fireplace is very easy. You can build it yourself or choose a freestanding fireplace from our range. No flue is needed, saving you the cost of installation.
Installation
The installation of a Xaralyn fireplace is simple and can often be done by yourself. If you choose a built-in fireplace, you may need to create a niche or opening. For freestanding fireplaces, you often only need a sturdy, flat surface. There is also an electric option: connect the fireplace to a standard outlet and ensure the cables are neatly tucked away.

Frequently asked questions about converting a gas fireplace
Read below
Are decorative fireplaces more sustainable than a gas fireplace?
Yes, generally you save on gas costs and the maintenance of a gas fireplace. Electric or bio-ethanol is therefore a cheaper alternative.
What should I consider if I place an electric fireplace in a gas fireplace?
Ensure that the gas fireplace is disconnected and the pipes are closed off by a technician. After this, it is safe to make further adjustments to the old gas fireplace so that the new fireplace can be installed.
Combustion of bioethanol mainly emits an odor when the bio-ethanol has not been properly filtered or has been produced from (too many) different raw materials. The alcohol percentage is also very important; the lower the alcohol percentage, the more odor will be noticeable. Bioethanol with a lower percentage of alcohol contains a larger percentage of additives, which results in less pure combustion.
No combustion is completely odorless. One person perceives more smell than another. The combination of bio ethanol and the evaporation from the absorbent ceramic stone in the burner ensures the purest possible combustion, releasing a barely noticeable odor.
If a bioethanol burner is extinguished with a ceramic stone, any odor will be somewhat stronger.
