Vent-free logs and the size of the room
A vent-free set breathes the room's air and leaves its combustion products there, so a small room is the wrong place for one. The state fuel gas code ties how much vent-free input a room may hold to its volume. Adjoining rooms count only when the openings between them are doorless.
Length, width, ceiling height and any doorless openings to other rooms get measured before vent-free is recommended, and a room that falls short gets a vented or smaller set. Considering vent-free logs in Murray Hill? Have the room checked 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.
An annual look at gas logs in Murray Hill
Well inland, a gas log set in Murray Hill still needs a yearly look at the burner, logs, clamp and flame.
We can set that up when the set goes in.

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.
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.
Sand, vermiculite, embers and rock wool
The material under and around the burner is chosen by the maker. One vented set uses sand for natural gas and vermiculite for propane, with glowing embers placed as the manual shows.
A vent-free maker warns against adding extra logs or ornaments such as pine cones, vermiculite or rock wool to its set because they can cause soot, and allows lava rock only around the outside of the burner. We use exactly the media the manual lists for your set and gas, in the amounts it gives. Too much ember material is as much a problem as too little.
Measured in Murray Hill before a log set is ordered

- Supply pipe sized by the gas trade, with inlet pressure read at the valve
- Set, gas, clamp and readings recorded on the ticket
Before a log set goes in
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.
Is a gas log install done in one visit?
Usually one visit once the fireplace is cleaned and gas is at the valve. The estimate shows the sequence and each trade's day.
