The Elegance & Value of a Gas Log Set

A handsome gas log set can bring more elegance, charm and convenience to your home and life. The Chimney Guys of Pataskala, OH, would like to tell you a little about gas logs and the benefits you’ll enjoy every time you fire yours up.

Not real logs, but . . .

A set of gas logs aren’t the logs you’d chop in a forest, but you might think they are at first glance. Made of strong, fire-ready materials, gas logs are creatively designed with the same shapes, bark patterns, unique markings and coloring of real wood logs.

Gas log sets operate inside the fireboxes of existing gas, wood or pellet fireplaces. Fireplace or wall modification isn’t necessary.

What about heat?

If you need to generate high levels of heat with a fireplace that will serve as a room’s sole heat source, a gas log set isn’t the solution.

But for gentle heat and “taking the chill off,” particularly in smaller rooms, gas logs are perfect.

Easy operation

Getting a fire going with a gas log set is as easy as pushing a button. It’s just as easy to stop the fire and to control the intensity and height of the flames.

Clean-burning gas

Gas log sets on the market today meet EPA emissions guidelines, ensuring clean-burning fires that are environmentally friendly.

No creosote

Gas fires don’t create flammable creosote the way real wood fires do. You won’t need to bring out a professional chimney sweep to remove creosote or built-up soot.

Maintenance is a snap

Taking care of a gas log set involves wiping it down periodically and cleaning accumulated dust out of the firebox. It’s recommended that you schedule annual inspections by a licensed gas fireplace technician, who will look over the connections, the venting channel and the logs themselves.

If you want to retire an open masonry fireplace

A lot of homeowners go with gas log sets because they’re tired of messing with their traditional masonry fireplace. Big, open fireplaces present a wonderful appearance, but they use a lot of wood for very little heat, and they tend to be drafty.

If you’re looking to upgrade an older gas fireplace

If you have an old gas fireplace or the builder-grade fireplace that came with the home, you can upgrade to a new gas log set and save considerable expense over purchasing a traditional gas fireplace and having it installed.

Gas log set installation

The Chimney Guys will help you learn more about the different styles of gas log sets so you can select the one that will be perfect for your home. If your new gas logs will go in a wood-burning firebox, we’ll run the natural gas or propane line to the fireplace and make sure everything is connected and working according to code. If the log set will be used in a gas fireplace, we’ll get it hooked up correctly.
