Keeping pets and children back
Logs stay hot well after the flames are out, and one maker asks for an adult to be around whenever the set burns. A set left running in an empty room, or overnight, is exactly what the manuals warn against.
A screen in front and a set that is turned off when the room is empty go a long way, and we show you the controls so shutting it off is quick. Small children or pets in a home getting gas logs in Mandarin? Plan it with us at (904) 920-5495.

How our gas log pros install a set in Mandarin
-
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.
Soot on inland gas logs
Sooty logs in Mandarin point to placement, the burner or air, not the weather.
Placement is corrected first, then the burner and air.

What a vented log set is listed to
Florida's fuel gas code, in section 602.1, covers decorative appliances for installation in approved solid-fuel fireplaces: they must be listed to ANSI Z21.60 and installed according to the maker's instructions. That is the category a vented gas log set falls into.
The listing assumes a working fireplace and chimney, so the set is only as safe as the fireplace it sits in. One vented set's manual limits it to a solid-fuel-burning fireplace with a working flue, built of noncombustible materials. We confirm that before any set is recommended, and the listing is recorded on the ticket.
A lip at the front of the firebox
The front edge of the firebox floor matters to a log set. One maker's vented burner may not go into a fireplace with an ash lip or recess deeper than three quarters of an inch, and measures the required depth from inside the lip.
A raised lip can also affect how the burner pan sits and how the flame reaches the front logs. We measure the lip's height and the depth behind it on the first visit, so a set that cannot sit properly is ruled out before you buy it. A step at the front also affects how evenly the flame reaches the front logs.
Gas pressure the set needs
Log sets have a pressure range at their inlet. One maker's vented burner needs at least 5 inches of water column on natural gas and 11 on propane for input adjustment, with maximums of 10.5 and 13, and says not to install it where the minimum is not available.
The same manual requires propane to be regulated and rules out connecting to an unregulated tank or a portable cylinder. We read the inlet pressure with the set running, and with other gas appliances in the house running too, and record the readings on the ticket.
Measured in Mandarin before a log set is ordered
- Flue, damper and firebox cleaned and inspected before the burner goes in
- Room volume set against the code's vent-free limit
- Glass doors and frame checked for airflow and opening size
- Flame compared with the manual's description at first light
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.
Do you replace cracked gas logs?
Yes, with the set's own replacement logs placed to the manual. Call (904) 920-5495 with the set's model for your Mandarin fireplace.
