The Two Types of Gas Logs

When you’re looking to purchase gas logs, there are two options you can choose from. So how do you choose which one is right for you? Vented gas logs require your chimney flue to be open while they’re on and operating. Vented logs are the right choice for you if you’re wanting a natural look. They appear the most like a natural wood fire.

Vent-free logs don’t require your chimney flue to be open while they’re operating. They also don’t appear as natural as those that are vented. However, these provide the most heat. If you definitely want your gas logs to be your primary heat source, not just an aesthetic feature, vent-free logs are probably the better option for your home.

These kits are able to be installed in most existing or new fireplaces in your home. There are a few things you can do to help the installation go smoothly when we come to assist.
