This varies by region, by gas utility and by fuel type. Based on national averages, a gas fireplace consuming 27,000 BTUs per hour will cost from 12-15 cents/hour to operate. LP units are slightly higher to operate. Your monthly gas bill should include your exact cost per therm (100,000 BTUs). Based on this rate, and the BTU input listed on the rating plate on your fireplace, you can calculate the cost for your area.
