Getting gas logs right in Meadow Woods fireplaces
How a gas log installation unfolds in Meadow Woods, and where you make the calls.
Yellow flames by design
Vented log sets are made to look like a wood fire, with tall yellow flames. One maker says its unit is designed to burn with yellow flames and that adequate ventilation is absolutely necessary.
Yellow flames produce more soot than the blue flames of a sealed gas fireplace, which is why the flue and damper rules matter so much. Our crew explains how the look and the venting go together before you choose between vented and vent-free sets.
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.
Ventilation air and mildew
Moisture has to go somewhere. One vent-free manual warns that installing the heater in a room without enough ventilation air may cause mildew to form from too much moisture.
The same manual sends the installer to its section on air for combustion and ventilation, which works out whether a space counts as confined. Our crew does that calculation for your room and explains the result, since a room that passes the volume rule can still need more air.
Btu ratings on vented sets
Vented log sets are rated in Btu per hour like any gas appliance. One maker rates its three burner sizes at 40,000, 55,000 and 65,000 Btu per hour on either gas.
The rating matters for the gas line, which has to deliver that flow at the minimum pressure, and for the damper opening the manual requires. Our crew reads the rating for the set you choose and checks the supply against it.
Add-ons that do not belong to the set
Glass beads, extra logs and decorative extras are tempting additions. One maker lists adding accessories to its burner system among the reasons a set smokes or soots and says to shut the burner down and take off anything that does not belong.
Our crew removes non-listed extras during service and explains why. When you want a different look, we show you the accessories the listing for your set actually includes.

Before your gas log install in Meadow Woods
Question not listed? Our Meadow Woods gas log crew is glad to answer it by phone.
Why does the damper have to stay open with gas logs?
The exhaust from a vented set rises up the chimney, which means the flue has to stay open. One maker ships a clamp that is fixed to the damper for good and wants the damper fully open any time the set is lit. Vent-free sets have their own rules in their own manuals.
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.
