A fireplace screen in front of the logs

A fireplace screen still belongs in front of a vented log set, and the screen affects how the fire breathes. Flames bending out at the mesh, when they should roll inward, are a sign the fire wants more air. Mesh openings let combustion air in where no other air path exists.

The screen you have gets checked with the set running, and the air supply is corrected where the flames lean out. Gas logs going into a fireplace in Jacksonville Beach? Ask about screens and doors when you book at (904) 920-5495.

From wood fireplace to gas logs in Jacksonville Beach

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.

Coastal homes and vent-free logs in Jacksonville Beach

Vent-free logs add water vapor to the room. In a coastal home in Jacksonville Beach, as anywhere, a room that already feels damp is a poor match for them.

We weigh the room's air before recommending vent-free.

Where vent-free logs may not go

One maker's vent-free set shall not be installed in a bedroom or bathroom, and the fuel gas code's unvented heater section points to further location limits. The same maker notes that some state and local codes prohibit vent-free heaters, and that some allow the appliance only in a vented configuration.

We check the room's use and the local rules before recommending vent-free. Where the answer is no, a vented set or a sealed gas insert is the alternative, and we explain both. The room's use is written on the estimate so the choice is clear later.

Chimney height for a vented set

Vented logs rely on the chimney to carry their exhaust away, and one maker wants at least 15 feet of chimney between the hearth and the top for its vented burners.

Taller chimneys draw more strongly, which is why the same maker allows a smaller permanent damper opening as the chimney gets taller. We measure the height when we inspect the flue, and a chimney that falls short of the figure rules out that set, or calls for a different approach, before anything is ordered. The same table also accounts for factory-built fireplaces separately.

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.

Gas log questions from Jacksonville Beach

What is the damper clamp for?

It fixes the damper partly open so exhaust from vented logs keeps a way out, even if someone reaches for the handle. Fitting it is part of our installation.

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.
