One of the smallest countries in Africa, Burundi has an equatorial climate. Burundi is a part of the Albertine Rift, the western extension of the East African Rift. The country lies on a rolling plateau in the centre of Africa. The highest peak, Mount Heha at 2,685 m (8,810 ft), lies to the southeast of the capital, Bujumbura.
Gas stoves are usually more expensive to buy but cheaper during use compared with electric stoves. Not only are gas stoves more energy efficient but gas is also usually cheaper than electricity, which results in operational cost savings.
Converting existing fireplaces to gas is the least expensive option for homeowners and involves simply inserting gas logs. These nonflammable logs look much like real wood, and come in vented and ventless types. Vented gas logs require a working existing chimney and cost from $300 to $550, according to CostHelper. Ventless gas logs do not need a pipe or chimney and cost from $350 to $600. Installation adds $200 to $350 extra to cover a licensed contractor and a new gas outlet. Another conversion method uses top-vented gas fireplace inserts, which may include fans and thermostats.
