Propane at the house
Plenty of homes run on propane rather than piped gas, and gas logs work on either as long as the set is built for the gas the house has. The rating plate says which, and some sets cannot be converted in the field at all. A set built for one fuel does not simply get adjusted to run on the other.
The propane company regulates and pipes the supply, and the tank stays outdoors. The fuel is confirmed before any set is ordered. Propane home in Fleming Island and thinking about gas logs? Ask a gas log specialist 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.
Gas logs in an inland fireplace
Far from the beaches of the coast, a log set in Fleming Island is decided by the firebox, the chimney and the room.
Each is measured on the free visit.

Unvented logs and metal fireplaces
Code section 621.7 keeps an unvented decorative room heater out of a factory-built fireplace unless the fireplace system has been tested, listed and labeled for that use under UL 127.
One vent-free maker allows its set in a masonry fireplace or a UL 127 factory-built fireplace, but not in a factory-built unit whose own instructions say it was not tested for, or should not be used with, unvented gas logs. The fireplace's own plate and instructions are read before any vent-free set goes into a metal unit. A metal fireplace that rules vent-free out may still take a vented set its manual allows.
Minimum firebox size for a vent-free set
Size tables for vent-free sets are separate. One maker's 18-inch set needs a firebox at least 24 inches high, 14 deep, 28 wide at the front and 20 at the rear, and its 24-inch set needs 32 and 22 inches of width.
The same manual sets clearances from the fireplace opening: 16 inches to a side wall and 42 inches from the top of the opening to the ceiling for both sizes. We measure the firebox and the wall around it together, since a set that fits the firebox can still miss the clearances. Both sets of figures go on the estimate.
The screen and the flame
One vented set's manual requires a fireplace screen in place whenever the set burns. Unless combustion air comes some other way, the screen must have openings to let it in, and the air supply is adequate when all the flames curl into the fireplace and away from the screen.
That gives a simple check you can make yourself: flames leaning out toward the screen mean the set is short of air. We watch for it at the first light and adjust or correct the air supply before we leave. A screen with fine mesh and no openings can starve the flame.
Measured in Fleming Island before a log set is ordered
- Front lip or recess measured, with depth taken inside it
- Gas type on the rating plate matched to the gas at the house
- Supply pipe sized by the gas trade, with inlet pressure read at the valve
- Outside air ducts and ash doors closed off under vent-free sets
Before a log set goes in
Are vent-free logs allowed in any room?
No. The fuel gas code limits them by room size and input, and one maker's set may not go in a bedroom or bathroom. Some local rules prohibit them altogether.
Who runs the gas line?
The gas trade: a gas fitter, the utility or your propane company. The estimate names them, and our hookup and test follow once gas is at the valve.
