Vented vs. Ventless

Gas logs can be either vented or ventless, depending on your needs and the building codes in your area.  Vent free gas logs are designed to produce such low emissions that the smoke can go right into your home without danger.  The fumes and smoke from vented gas logs must be directed out of your home through a chimney or direct venting.  More info on the different types of venting here.

Ventless gas logs produce a lot of heat since none escapes out the venting.  They must be installed into an approved vent free fireplace.  Vented gas logs look far more like a wood burning fire and produce a supplemental heat.

It is important to check your local fire codes; some states don’t allow vent free gas logs.  We also recommend installing a carbon monoxide detector.

Type of Fireplace

Not all fireplaces accept gas logs.  This is a crucial point so what kind of fireplace do you have?  Your fireplace is either masonry or prefab.  Masonry fireplaces are built from either brick or stone.  The walls of the firebox will be stone or brick; that’s it.  Prefab fireplaces are built in a factory then sent to a home to be installed.  If you have a prefab fireplace, the walls of the firebox will be metal or a ceramic material made to look like brick.

You can install gas logs in a masonry fireplace.  Not all prefab fireplaces are safe to use gas logs in.  While this might sound strange, you cannot use gas logs in a gas prefab fireplace.  If you have a wood burning prefab fireplace you can safely add a gas log set.

A basic rule of thumb: if you already have a gas fireplace, you won’t be able to install gas logs.
