Most gas stoves and fireplaces operate with a standing pilot. This means that all the switches and controls that turn the appliance on or off, up or down do not use house current. They function very well during power outages. Many gas appliances do have heat circulating fansthese fans do need electricity (house current). However, some gas stoves and inserts, with or without the fan operating, can still heat effectively.
