It looks like we may have to replace a fireplace in a townhouse in Edmonton (required by the condo board). Right now it is a wood-burning fireplace.
Assuming the cost is more-or-less the same, would you choose a gas fireplace or wood-burning one? (Assuming you have tenants, not owner-occupied.) Why?
(The condo board has `recommended` that they be replaced with gas fireplaces.)
Thanks,
Nicola
PS. It seems you can get a `gas insert` rather than necessarily replacing the whole fireplace (though actually the cost is not much different). Is this a good idea?
