Gas log installation for Gainesville fireplaces

A gas log set puts ceramic logs and a burner into the fireplace you already have, so the fire comes on with a switch or a remote. Local, family-run gas specialists from our business check that the fireplace and flue are sound, size the burner to your firebox and place every log where the manual shows. Any new gas line is run by a gas contractor, and the estimate spells that out. The inspection that begins it costs you nothing.

• Vented gas logs installation with the damper fixed open
• Vent free gas logs installation sized to the room
• Gas fireplace log replacement for worn or cracked sets
• Burners sized to your firebox per the maker's manual
• Logs placed to the manual's diagram so flames burn clean

1. Check fireplace and flue

   Our pro confirms the firebox, damper and flue are sound and measures the firebox for burner size.

2. Line up the gas side

   The set's gas needs are matched to the supply, and a gas contractor handles any new line.

3. Set burner and logs

   The burner goes in, the damper is fixed open for vented sets, and each log sits where the diagram shows.

Your fireplace and how you want to use it decide between vented and vent-free.

Vented log sets

Decorative sets tested to ANSI Z21.60 for installation in wood-burning fireplaces, with the damper held open.

Vent-free log sets

ANSI Z21.11.2 sets that carry an oxygen depletion sensor pilot, for rooms large enough under their listing.

Damper clamp and connectors

A clamp that keeps the damper open for vented sets, plus the connectors the manual lists.

1. 01

   Vented or vent-free

   The two types differ in burner, controls and what the room needs.

2. 02

   Set size and style

   Larger fireboxes take bigger burners and more logs.

3. 03

   Gas supply

   An existing gas stub is simpler; a new line is a gas contractor's work, priced as its own item.

   Firebox or flue repairs

   A damaged firebox or flue gets fixed before any log set goes in.

• The firebox's size and condition for a gas log set installation
• The damper, and if it can be fixed open for vented logs
• The flue, checked for blockage and damage
• The gas supply at the fireplace, if there is one
• Room volume, when you want a vent-free set
• The fireplace's listing if it's factory-built

• Done with carrying wood and cleaning ash

  Gas logs give you a fire at the flip of a switch. The fireplace gets checked first, then the right set goes in.

• Old logs blackening the firebox

  Logs out of position or a dirty burner make soot. We reset or replace the set to the manual.

• Nobody has lit the fireplace in ages

  The flue and damper need a look before gas logs go in, and our pros check them first.

• Gas Fireplace Installation Sealed direct-vent or room-air B-vent units, each set up by its manual.
• Gas Fireplace Insert Installation A sealed direct-vent gas insert fitted into your existing fireplace.
• Gas Fireplace Venting Vent pipe, joints and caps on direct-vent and B-vent gas fireplaces.

• Vent route, gas line and finish, where your budget goes Logs, inserts and built-in fireplaces involve different installation work. The model and existing house determine which lines matter most in the budget.
• The chimney check first, then logs, an insert or a new unit Going from wood to gas can mean a simple set of gas logs or a sealed insert that heats the room. Each route asks something different of your chimney, and each has its own look.
