Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between vented and vent-free gas logs?

Vented gas logs require an open damper and produce the most realistic flame but vent heat up the chimney. Vent-free logs operate with the damper closed and are highly efficient for heating, but have BTU limits and require proper room ventilation.

Can I install gas logs in any wood-burning fireplace?

Most wood-burning fireplaces can accommodate gas logs, but we need to inspect the firebox dimensions, gas supply availability, and flue condition first. We'll confirm compatibility during our assessment.

How much does gas log installation cost?

Gas log set installation typically ranges from $400–$1,200 depending on the log set chosen and whether a new gas line is needed. We provide free estimates with no obligation.
