Log set know-how from our Audubon Park crew
The points below shape the log set we recommend in Audubon Park, and each one appears in your estimate.
Mantel clearance for a vent-free set
With a mantel, one vent-free manual asks for noncombustible material extending at least 8 inches above the opening and a hood accessory when that material is less than 12 inches, plus minimum distances between the opening and the mantel shelf.
If those clearances cannot be met, the same manual says the heater must be operated with the flue damper open. Our crew measures your mantel and facing and tells you which way the set can run.
Cleaning products and a warm vent-free set
Household products behave differently near a heater. One vent-free manual asks owners to turn the heater off before using furniture polish, wax, carpet cleaner or similar products, since heated vapors can leave a white powder residue in the burner box or on nearby walls and furniture.
The same manual says not to run the heater where flammable liquids or vapors are used or stored, or in dusty conditions. Our technicians cover points like these at the handover.
Dual-fuel vent-free sets
Some vent-free sets ship ready for one gas and can be changed to the other. One manual describes a set shipped for propane that a qualified installer can convert to natural gas by following its instructions and markings, with no other field conversion allowed.
Our crew confirms which gas your home uses before installation and completes any conversion the manual allows, then marks the set so the next technician knows how it is configured.
Leak testing every connection
Every joint made during an installation gets checked before the burner is lit. Gas appliance manuals we work from allow leak testing with a soap and water solution or an approved leak test spray and never with an open flame.
Our installers test each connection they make or disturb, including the valve, the flex connector and the burner inlet, and they repeat the check after the set has run. The test is written into the scope of every job.
Connecting and testing before the batteries go in
Order matters at installation. One maker says the set must be connected to the gas line and tested for leaks before batteries are inserted in its receiver, and that the burner must be off and cool before any battery change.
Our installers follow that sequence, connect and leak test first, then power the controls and sync the remote where the set has one. It keeps a stray spark away from an untested connection.

Asked in Audubon Park about installing gas logs
Straight talk on log sets from our specialists in Audubon Park, and no pressure to book.
Does it matter if my home uses natural gas or propane?
Yes. The set must match the gas named on its rating plate. One vented set is not field convertible at all, while one vent-free set can be converted between the two gases by a qualified installer. One maker also requires the propane supply to be regulated.
Can I still burn wood after gas logs go in?
No. One vent-free manual says solid fuels shall not be burned in a fireplace where an unvented heater is installed, and the same manual says not to burn paper or other objects in it. The log set becomes the fire.
