Yearly service on gas logs

Log sets are not set-and-forget. Pilots gather dust, burner ports collect bits of ember material, and logs shift when they are moved for cleaning, and propane sets can need attention more often. Propane sets in particular can need their ports cleaned more often.

A yearly visit catches all of that before it turns into soot or shutdowns, and the schedule can start on install day. Want your Avondale gas logs looked after every year? Ask about service at (904) 920-5495.

How gas log installation runs

Measure firebox and room
Firebox, chimney height and, for vent-free sets, the room are checked against the manual.
Clean and clamp
Soot and debris come out of the fireplace, and vented sets get their permanent damper clamp.
Connect and test
Once gas reaches the valve, the set is connected, leak tested and its pressure read.
Place logs and light
Logs and embers go where the manual shows, and we light the set with you.

Bedrooms and vent-free logs in Avondale

How big the permanent damper opening must be

The permanent opening a clamp leaves is not guesswork. One maker's table sets it by chimney height and burner size: for a masonry fireplace with a 15-foot chimney, 27 square inches for its smallest burner, 35 for the middle size and 41 for the largest, with smaller figures for taller chimneys.

Factory-built fireplaces have their own column in the same table. We measure the opening the clamp leaves, compare it with the table for your chimney and set, and note the measurement on the ticket. An opening left too small is corrected before the first light, not after.

A level floor under the burner

Burners are built to sit flat. One maker's manual says the fireplace floor must be level and smooth, since a burner pan that rocks or tilts changes how gas spreads through it and how the flames rise around the logs.

Old fireboxes can have sunken bricks or a rough ash-worn floor. We check the floor with a level before setting the burner, shim or correct it where the manual allows, and write up firebox floor repair separately where the floor itself needs work. The burner is then centered and secured as the manual shows. A shim is used only where the manual allows one.

Sizing the supply pipe

A log set at full flame needs a steady flow of gas. One maker calls for the supply pipe to be sized to deliver the minimum inlet pressure at the maximum flow rate, with an inside diameter of at least half an inch, and warns that a run longer than 20 feet may need a larger line, referring to NFPA 54.

Pipe sizing and installation belong to the gas trade. We give them the set's input and pressure figures, and check the result at the valve once gas arrives. Other appliances on the same line are taken into account too.

Before a log set goes in

Can I convert my log set to propane?

It depends on the set. Some are not convertible in the field at all, and others convert with the maker's instructions. The rating plate and manual decide.

Can I burn wood with the gas logs in place?

No. The logs and burner are not built for a wood fire, and one vent-free maker bans solid fuel in a fireplace with its set installed.
