Our approach to gas logs in Flamingo
What our gas log specialists explain to homeowners in Flamingo before a set is ordered.
How the set lights and what stops the gas
Florida's fuel gas code, in section 602.2, wants the main burner of a decorative set lit by direct ignition, by an igniter or by a pilot, backed by a flame safeguard. Sets listed to ANSI Z21.84, the standard for manually lighted sets, are the exception.
The flame safeguard is what stops gas to the burner when the ignition fails. Our technicians check that it works on every set we install or service, and they do not install a burner that lacks one unless its listing allows it.
A level, smooth floor under the burner
A burner pan works as designed only when it sits flat. One log set manual requires the fireplace floor to be level and smooth and the pan to rest level on it, and it treats a clean floor as part of the installation.
Uneven hearth brick or a firebox floor with broken pieces can tip a pan enough to change how the burner lights and how the flames spread. Our installers check the floor first and include any leveling repair in the written scope.
What a healthy log set flame looks like
Manuals describe the flame they expect. One maker says its main burner flames should be blue at the base and a mix of blue and yellow through the body and the tips, about 5 to 8 inches above the logs, with the center flame the tallest.
The same manual expects ember flames about 1/4 inch above the embers. After an installation or a service, our technicians compare your flame with the description for your set and adjust what they can before they leave.
Placing each log by the diagram
Every log set comes with a placement diagram, and flames that strike a log in the wrong place leave soot. One maker allows some flexibility in placement to suit your taste, as long as significant sooting does not occur.
If black carbon keeps building on a log, the same manual calls it a sign of incomplete combustion and says to move that log so the flame touches it less. Our installers set the logs to the diagram and show you which ones not to move.
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.

What people in Flamingo ask about gas logs
Thinking about gas logs? Start here, and remember the fireplace inspection in Flamingo is free.
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.
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.
