Can the gas fireplace be installed in a bedroom?

Fireplaces
Yes. Most building codes allow the installation of a gas fireplace in a sleeping room as long as it is a sealed combustion, direct vent model. Your decision really comes down to whether heat or aesthetics is your number one priority. If heat is your first concern, or the existing wood fireplace has had a history of down drafting (smoking), you should purchase a gas insert.

Your best and safest bet is a direct vent model.

Why is there rust on the inside of my gas fireplace?

Fireside Services - FAQ
One of the largest by-products of gas combustion is water vapor. And although most of the water vapor evaporates or is exhauster out of the unit, some of it remains within your gas fireplace and in turn, casues rust. There is some maintenance that you can do yourself if you've discovered rust. You can sand off all of the rust and then prime and paint the area with a "heat-resistant" paint. If left unchecked, the fireplace could rust through leaving it unsafe to use.
