Before a log set goes into your Union Park fireplace
How our local crew sizes up a fireplace for gas logs at your Union Park home.
Closing outside air ducts and clean-out doors
Air that leaks in through the bottom of a fireplace can blow out a pilot or disturb a flame. One vent-free manual requires any outside air ducts in the fireplace to be permanently closed when the set is installed.
It also asks for fresh air vents and ash clean-out doors on the floor or wall of the fireplace to be sealed with a heat-resistant sealant, while the chimney flue damper itself is never sealed. Our installers do all of that as part of the job.
Gas piping as its own line of work
Running a new gas line or extending an old one is work for a qualified gas contractor. On our estimates it appears as a separate line, so you can see the log set installation and the piping side by side.
Our crew tells you what the set's manual asks of the supply, including the pipe size, the pressure and the shutoff valve, so the gas contractor has what they need. The log set goes in once the supply meets those numbers.
Yearly service for a gas log set
One vented log set manual says the appliance should be examined before use and inspected at least once a year to prevent burner shutdown, sooting and odors, with checks for clean burning and proper pilot appearance.
The same manual notes that propane sets may need more frequent cleaning than natural gas sets. Our free inspection covers the burner, the pilot, the logs, the media and the damper clamp, and work booked within 72 hours after it is 10% off.
Flames that start behaving strangely
A set that has run well for a while can change. One maker says that if the flames start to take unusual shapes or the burners fail to ignite smoothly, the burner may need cleaning or servicing.
Our technicians clean the burner and pilot, check the media and log positions and test the pressure. If the problem is a worn part, the estimate names it and shows whether a repair or a new set is the better value.
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.

Before your gas log install in Union Park
Log set questions that come up on visits in Union Park, with plain answers.
Can I still burn wood after gas logs go in?
No. One vent-free manual says solid fuels shall not be burned in a fireplace where an unvented heater is installed, and the same manual says not to burn paper or other objects in it. The log set becomes the fire.
Is the gas log inspection in Union Park 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.
