Our approach to gas logs in Dover Shores East
Notes from our gas log installers working in Dover Shores East.
A supplemental heater only
Florida's fuel gas code, in section 621.2, does not allow unvented room heaters to be a home's only source of comfort heat. One vent-free manual pitches its set as extra heat for a single room and never as the main heat for the house.
For most homes that is exactly how a log set gets used, a warm fire on a cool evening. Our specialists make sure the set you choose is sized for that role and not asked to do more.
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.
Purging air from a new supply line
A new or reopened gas line is full of air, and air does not light. One maker's troubleshooting table lists air in the gas line as a reason a pilot will not light and says to bleed the supply line and repeat the lighting steps until the air is gone.
Our installers purge the line as the manual describes before the first light, which spares you a set that clicks and clicks on its first evening.
A kinked connector and a low flame
The flexible connector between the valve and the burner can kink if it is bent too tightly when the pan is set in place. One maker lists a blockage or kink in the connector, the plumbing or the burner orifice as a cause of low flame height and says a kinked connector must be replaced.
Our crew routes the connector with gentle bends, checks it after the pan is seated and replaces any connector that has been crushed or folded.
Spreading the media evenly
The sand or vermiculite in a burner pan has to be loose and even for the gas to spread across the burner. One maker lists media packed down too tightly as a cause of a burner not burning evenly.
Its fix is to loosen the media along both sides of the burner pipe and even it out in the pan. Our installers spread it that way at installation and check it again at each service visit, since media settles over time.

Questions Dover Shores East homeowners ask before gas logs
Our gas log team in Dover Shores East answers the usual questions here. Call about anything else.
Will gas logs work in my fireplace?
Only if the fireplace qualifies. One vented log set manual limits its burner to a wood-burning fireplace built of noncombustible material with a flue that works. In a factory-built fireplace, the fireplace's own manual has to allow the set. We check both at the free inspection.
Is the gas line part of the job?
New gas piping is separate work for a qualified gas contractor, and it appears as its own line on the estimate. Before that, our crew checks what the log set manual asks of the supply, such as the minimum pipe size and inlet pressure.
