Our Services
Part of every gas log installation
Gas log installation puts a burner and a set of logs into a sound wood-burning fireplace, either a vented set that sends its exhaust up the chimney or a vent-free set built for the room. Our gas log pros size the burner to your firebox and set every log to the maker's diagram. Log sets are part of the gas fireplace installation our local, family-owned crew does, and the free inspection includes the firebox check.
- Vented and vent-free log sets for sound wood fireplaces
- Burner sized to your firebox measurements
- Damper clamp fitted so vented sets exhaust properly
- Logs, embers and rock wool placed to the diagram
- Old, cracked logs swapped in a gas fireplace log replacement
How It Works
From firebox check to first flame
-
Measure the firebox and flue
Front width, rear width, height and depth go against the log set's size table, and the flue is checked open to the top.
-
Clean and clamp the damper
The flue, damper and firebox are cleaned, and for a vented set the damper clamp goes in permanently at the manual's minimum opening.
-
Connect and leak test
Once the supply is at the valve, the set is connected at the manual's inlet pressure and every joint is leak tested before a log goes on.
-
Place the logs, then light it
Logs, embers and rock wool go where the manual's photos show, and we light it with you and explain the first long run.

Your Options
Choosing a vented or vent-free log set
Vented and vent-free sets follow different rules, and the fireplace and the room decide which one fits.

FAQ
Gas log installation questions
Can gas logs go into any fireplace?
No. A vented set needs a sound fireplace with a working chimney, and a vent-free set needs a room that meets its size rule. We check both before recommending one.
Why does the damper have to stay open?
A vented set sends its exhaust up the chimney, so the manual requires a clamp that keeps the damper from closing. We fit it as part of the install.
Is there a wait for the log set?
Only as long as the supplier takes to deliver your set. The inspection visit can be the same day, and the install is booked once the set is in. Call (904) 920-5495 to start.
Hilliard and Bryceville, will you come that far?
Yes, both are in our Nassau County area, and the visit to measure the firebox is free. Just call (904) 920-5495.
Who runs the gas line to the firebox?
A gas contractor or your propane supplier runs the supply, and the estimate names who, along with the pipe size the manual calls for. We set and start up the logs once gas is at the valve.
Common Problems
Why homeowners call about gas logs
Tired of hauling wood and sweeping ash
A log set gives a steady flame at a valve or a remote. We check the fireplace and flue are sound before recommending one.
Old logs cracked or crumbling
Cracked logs shift out of place, and flame touching a log leaves soot. We replace them with the set's listed logs, placed to the diagram.
Soot on the logs or the firebox
A log out of place puts flame against it, and that leaves soot. We reset every log and ember to the manual's photos.
Damper keeps getting closed by mistake
A vented set needs the damper held open. The manual's damper clamp goes in permanently, leaving the minimum opening it lists.

Vented and vent-free log sets
A vented log set is a decorative appliance listed to ANSI Z21.60 for a solid-fuel fireplace, and section 602.1 of the Florida Building Code, Fuel Gas, requires that listing (or ANSI Z21.84 for manually lighted natural gas sets) and installation to the maker's instructions. Its tall yellow flames exhaust up a working chimney.
A vent-free set is an unvented room heater listed to ANSI Z21.11.2, with an oxygen depletion sensing pilot. Section 621 limits where it may go and how large it may be for the room, and 621.7 keeps it out of a factory-built fireplace unless that fireplace's listing allows it.
Getting the fireplace ready for gas logs
One log set manual requires the flue, damper and firebox to be cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes and loose paint and inspected before the set goes in, and the firebox floor to be level for the burner pan. The set's table of minimum fireplace sizes sets the burner, and where glass doors are fitted, that manual has them fully open whenever the burner runs.
Vented gas logs installation turns on the damper. The manual supplies a clamp installed permanently at a minimum opening for each burner input, or calls for a permanent stop or cutting the blade. Vent-free gas logs installation can run with the damper closed on one listed set, provided the noncombustible material above the opening and the mantel clearances in its manual are met.
Gas supply, log placement and the first run
The rating plate names the gas, natural or propane, and the manual gives the inlet pressure range and the minimum supply pipe. Running the line is separate work under NFPA 54 with its own trade, and every joint is leak tested before the logs go on.
Gas log set installation ends with each log on its pins exactly as the manual's photos show, since a log out of place puts flame against it and leaves soot. Rock wool goes on the front of the burner only, and some manuals call for a long first run on high with windows open.
