Getting gas logs right in Christmas fireplaces
How our local crew sizes up a fireplace for gas logs at your Christmas home.
Room volume and a vent-free set
Section 621.5 of the Florida fuel gas code sets one shared allowance for every unvented appliance in a room or space, 20 Btu per hour per cubic foot. A set rated at 30,000 Btu per hour needs at least 1,500 cubic feet around it.
Our pros measure the floor area and ceiling height, account for other unvented appliances in the same space and show the arithmetic in writing. Where openings to other rooms count toward the volume, we explain how the manual treats them.
Vent-free sets and bedrooms or bathrooms
One vent-free log set manual says plainly that the heater shall not be installed in a bedroom or bathroom. The state code keeps appliances out of those rooms too in section 303.3, and its exceptions for unvented heaters cover only a single small wall-mounted heater under strict conditions.
A log set in a bedroom fireplace is not one of those. Our specialists steer a bedroom fireplace toward a vented option and explain the reason in the written estimate.
Noncombustible facing above a vent-free set
A vent-free set sends hot air up the face of the fireplace. Without a mantel, one manual requires noncombustible material such as slate, marble or tile, at least 1/2 inch thick, above the fireplace opening, and sheet metal only with noncombustible material behind it.
Painted drywall or wood trim right above the opening does not meet that rule. Our pros check the facing and explain the fix, whether that is new facing, a hood accessory or running the set vented with the damper open.
A pilot that will not light at all
A pilot that clicks without lighting has its own short list in one maker's troubleshooting table, from low gas pressure and a closed shutoff valve to a loose igniter wire, a blocked pilot hood, air in the line or dead batteries.
Some of these take a minute to fix and some need a part. Our technicians find which one it is and tell you before any part is ordered, with upfront pricing.
Carbon monoxide alarms near a log set
Any home with a gas log set should have working carbon monoxide alarms, placed and tested as their maker directs. If an alarm sounds, get everyone outside, call 911 from outside and leave the logs off.
Symptoms such as headaches, dizziness or nausea while the logs burn deserve the same response. Once responders say the house is safe, the burner, the damper and the flue all need a qualified check before the set runs again.

Gas log questions from Christmas, answered
Question not listed? Our Christmas gas log crew is glad to answer it by phone.
Can I use logs from a different brand on my burner?
Use the logs listed for your burner. The burner, logs and embers are tested as one set, and one maker warns against adding extra embers because they cause unsafe operation. We order matched parts only.
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.
