What our Florida Center technicians check on vent-free units
Practical points our Florida Center specialists share with vent-free owners before any repair.
Mantel and side clearances around a vent-free firebox
Clearances on a vent-free firebox come from the maker's chart. One manual wants a ceiling at least 40 inches above the top of the opening, keeps combustible trim at least 3 inches from the opening and places a mantel that projects 5 inches about 13 inches or more above it.
Figures change from model to model, so we measure against the chart in your manual. When a mantel sits too low, the manual allows raising it or removing it, and our estimate prices whichever you prefer.
Fans and drafts that push the flame into the logs
Every vent-free manual we work from carries the same warning. Do not let fans blow directly into the fireplace, and avoid any draft that alters the flame pattern. A pushed flame touches the logs, and flame on the logs makes soot.
A firebox maker adds kitchen exhaust fans, return air registers, windows and doors to the list of draft sources. Our technicians watch the flame with the room set up the way you live in it, air conditioning and fans included.
Ceiling fans in a room with a vent-free fireplace
Manufacturers disagree about ceiling fans. One log set maker says to monitor them while the burner runs and to reverse or switch them off if air pushes the flame onto the logs. Another maker's fireplace manual says not to run ceiling fans in the same room at all.
That split is exactly why we read your manual first. Our specialists tell you which rule governs the unit in your home and show you how the flame behaves with the fan on and off.
Sunken fireplaces and burner airflow
A firebox floor set below the hearth can starve a vent-free burner of air. One maker advises raising the fireplace floor in a sunken fireplace with a secure noncombustible material, to keep airflow adequate and guard against sooting.
Our technicians spot a sunken floor quickly and measure how far it sits below the opening. The raise is priced with its materials, and the burner is tested again once the floor is up.
Remotes and wall thermostats on vent-free units
Remote controls and wall thermostats are sold as listed accessories for some vent-free fireplaces. One maker offers millivolt wall thermostats, a programmable thermostat and several remote controls for its unvented fireplace.
When a remote stops working, we check the receiver, its batteries and its wiring against the accessory's instructions. Replacement accessories come from the list for your model, and the price is on paper first.

Quick vent-free answers for Florida Center
What Florida Center owners of vent-free logs and fireboxes ask us before a repair.
Can I burn wood in a fireplace that has vent-free logs?
No. The manuals say solid fuels must not be burned in a fireplace holding an unvented room heater, and firebox makers print the same warning on the unit. Burning paper or cooking over the logs is ruled out too.
Can vent-free logs go in a prefab fireplace?
Only when that factory-built fireplace was tested, listed and labeled for unvented use under UL 127, as section 621.7 of the Florida fuel gas code requires. One log set manual adds that it must not go in a factory-built unit whose instructions say it was not tested with unvented logs.
