What a good flame looks like
A log set should look like a wood fire, and the flame tells you whether the set is right. A healthy vented set shows a lively yellow flame with blue at its roots, tallest in the middle and low and flickering over the embers. Flames that are dark, lazy or lifting off the burner call for adjustment.
On install day we light the set with you and adjust it until it looks the way the manual describes. A flame far off that picture gets a service call. Gas logs in Palm Valley that have not looked right since day one? Call (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.
After a storm near Palm Valley
Leaves and debris can drop down an open flue near the coast when storms blow through between June and November.
Clear the firebox before lighting vented logs, or call us to check.

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.
The damper clamp on a vented set
A vented log set cannot run against a closed damper. One maker supplies a damper clamp that must be permanently installed, to keep a minimum opening and prevent the damper from closing fully, and says the damper must be fully open whenever the set is burning.
Where the clamp does not fit or fails to hold, the same maker calls for a permanent stop, removing the damper blade, or cutting the damper to leave the minimum opening. We fit the clamp as part of the install and show you why it is there. A handle painted open is not a substitute for the clamp.
Logs placed to the manual's photos
Every piece in a log set has a place. Manuals show the layout in photos or drawings, with locator pins or notches, and one maker allows some freedom in arrangement only as long as noticeable soot does not appear.
The same maker reads a steady build-up of soot on a log as incomplete combustion where flame touches it, and asks for that log to be moved to reduce the contact. We set each log to the manual at installation and show you the layout, and logs are handled only when cool or with heat-resistant gloves. Snapping the finished layout before the first cleaning makes it easy to put back.

Before a log set goes in
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.
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 Palm Valley fireplace.
