No Power? No Problem!

When the power goes out, your natural gas fireplace can continue to provide heat. A natural gas fireplace doesn’t rely on an external source of electricity. By simply inserting standard household batteries, you can stay warm and cozy even if you are without power.

Home Is Where The Hearth Is

NW Natural Appliance Center offers a wide variety of gas fireplaces, a low-maintenance, easy-to-use alternative to traditional wood- burning fireplaces, as well as the same look and feel of their wood counterparts without the hassle.
Simply flip a switch, and you have the perfect fire to take your room from chilly to cozy. Also, using an average of 30,000 BTUs per hour, a gas fireplace is cheaper to operate than buying wood and only costs about 30 cents per hour.

Fireplace Inserts

Fireplace inserts are a great way to provide efficient heating from inefficient masonry fireplaces, which are messy and one of the biggest heat losses in a home.

Inserts with a sealed firebox, including the front glass and heat exchangers, deliver heat to the room it’s intended for rather than wasting it up the chimney of a masonry fireplace. With a remote control thermostat, fireplace inserts provide an efficient heat source with significant utility cost savings, not to mention an aesthetic boost to any home’s décor.

Built-In Fireplaces

If you don’t already have a fireplace, a built-in fireplace makes the perfect focal point for any room in your home. Unlike traditional fireplaces, built-in fireplaces require minimal clearance and can be easily framed into a room. They provide safe energy efficiency and are stunningly beautiful!

Visit our fireplace showroom and choose from dozens of models perfect for family rooms, master suites, or anywhere you want to make a statement in your home’s design.

Free-Standing Stoves

Offering flexibility and simplicity, freestanding gas stoves can be placed almost anywhere in a home. Freestanding stoves have high efficiency ratings and substantially save you money. They also provide backup heat in a power outage.

With modern steel and traditional cast iron designs, they offer the possibility of a cozy fire and efficient heat without the clean-up required from wood or pellet stoves.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the average gas insert fireplace cost?

Prices vary depending on the brand, size, and installation needs. At our fireplace store in Portland, we can provide a detailed quote and help you find the best value for your space.

Will a gas fireplace work without electricity?

Most natural gas fireplaces will still work even when the power goes out. They’re designed with a standing pilot light or a battery backup ignition system that doesn’t rely on electricity. That means you can keep your home warm and comfortable during outages.

Do you sell both indoor and outdoor fireplaces?

Yes. Our Portland fireplace store offers both indoor fireplaces and outdoor fireplaces in a variety of styles. Indoors, you can enjoy clean, efficient heat from a natural gas fireplace with just the flip of a switch. Outdoors, we carry durable, weather-resistant outdoor gas fireplaces that turn any patio or backyard into an inviting space.

What’s the difference between a gas fireplace and an outdoor gas fireplace?

An indoor gas fireplace is designed for efficient indoor heating and ambiance, while an outdoor gas fireplace is built with materials that can withstand Portland’s changing weather. Both use natural gas for reliable, instant heat, but outdoor models are vented and constructed to resist corrosion and moisture.

Can I convert my wood-burning fireplace to a gas fireplace?

Yes, a gas fireplace insert is the perfect solution. Inserts fit directly into your existing wood-burning fireplace, giving you the look of real flames without the hassle of chopping or cleaning up wood. You’ll get higher efficiency, easier operation, and lower heating costs.

Are gas fireplaces energy efficient?

Absolutely. Modern natural gas fireplaces are up to 80–90% efficient, which means most of the heat they produce stays inside your home instead of escaping through the chimney. That efficiency helps lower energy bills and keeps your home cozy even during Portland’s chilliest months.
