Selling a house with gas logs

Buyers' inspectors look at gas logs for a damper clamp, a rating plate, logs in their places and a clean flame. A set with a missing clamp or sooty logs ends up in the report. A rating plate with its tag still attached also answers an inspector's first question.

The set gets checked, a missing clamp gets fitted and the logs are reset, and the work is written up for the sale paperwork. Listing a house in Ponte Vedra Beach with gas logs in the fireplace? Book a free check at (904) 920-5495.

A rusty damper near the ocean in Ponte Vedra Beach

The damper that holds a vented set's clamp is steel, and on the coast in Ponte Vedra Beach it can rust faster in salty air coming down the flue.

We check the plate and pivots before fitting the clamp.

Unvented logs and metal fireplaces

Code section 621.7 keeps an unvented decorative room heater out of a factory-built fireplace unless the fireplace system has been tested, listed and labeled for that use under UL 127.

One vent-free maker allows its set in a masonry fireplace or a UL 127 factory-built fireplace, but not in a factory-built unit whose own instructions say it was not tested for, or should not be used with, unvented gas logs. The fireplace's own plate and instructions are read before any vent-free set goes into a metal unit. A metal fireplace that rules vent-free out may still take a vented set its manual allows.

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.

Closing outside air vents for vent-free logs

Still air in the firebox matters for vent-free logs. One maker requires any outside air ducts and ash clean-out doors in the fireplace to be permanently closed at installation, sealed with a heat-resistant sealant to stop drafts that cause pilot outage or soot, and says not to seal the chimney damper.

The same manual asks for noncombustible material at least half an inch thick above the opening where there is no mantel. We check both before the set goes in and note what was sealed. The damper itself stays unsealed, as the manual says.

Gas log questions from Ponte Vedra Beach

Can gas logs go into any fireplace in Ponte Vedra Beach?

No. Vented logs need a sound fireplace and a chimney that draws, while vent-free logs need a big enough room where the rules allow them. Both are checked on a free visit.

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.
