If you are doing it for pure aesthetics then go for it. If you are expecting to get significant heat from it, a gas fireplace isn't the best option - we did this years ago and the amount of heat coming from the gas insert was underwhelming.

Our experience is exactly the opposite - our gas fireplace with built-in fan warms up our living room within 10min and I find myself turning it off after 2 hours because of how hot it gets.

I just replaced a pellet stove with a gas one and it basically can heat my entire 1500 sqft house if left on long enough. It definitely gets hot. I went to new England harth and home in Canton and had a fantastic experience from start to finish.
