Gas log details that matter in Pershing
How a gas log installation unfolds in Pershing, and where you make the calls.
Cleaning the fireplace before the burner goes in
Years of wood fires leave material behind that a gas burner should not sit under. Before its set goes in, one log set maker wants the flue, the damper and the firebox scrubbed free of soot, ash and flaking paint and looked over by a qualified professional.
Our crew does that cleaning and inspection as the first stage of the job, so the damper will clamp, the flue is open and nothing falls onto the new burner the first time it warms up.
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.
A vented set in a bedroom fireplace
Vented sets follow a different exception. An exception in section 303.3 of Florida's fuel gas code allows decorative appliances for installation in vented solid fuel-burning fireplaces in sleeping rooms when the room meets the volume criteria of section 304.5.
That makes the room's size part of the job. Our pros measure the bedroom and any spaces that open into it, check the result against the code and put the finding in writing before recommending a vented set.
Fireplaces a vent-free set can go into
One vent-free manual limits its set to a solid-fuel-burning masonry fireplace, a UL 127 factory-built fireplace or a listed ventless firebox enclosure. It adds an exception, never in a factory-built fireplace whose instructions say it has not been tested or should not be used with unvented gas logs.
Those instructions are often on a label inside the firebox or in the fireplace manual. Our crew reads them before a vent-free set is even discussed.
If you smell gas at the fireplace
Log set manuals open with the same steps for a gas smell. Light nothing, touch no electrical switch and make no phone call from inside. Leave the house right away and call the gas utility from outside or from a neighbor's phone, and call 911 or the fire department if the utility cannot be reached.
Nobody should hunt for the leak. After the utility or the fire department has made the house safe, the set stays off until a qualified technician has found and repaired the cause.

Gas log questions from Pershing, answered
Answers to what Pershing homeowners ask us about gas logs, from our family-owned team.
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.
Is the gas log inspection in Pershing really free?
Yes. We measure and check the fireplace and write up the estimate at no charge, with no obligation. If you go ahead within 72 hours after the inspection, 10% comes off.
