Gas Logs Types & Installations
Fireplace technology has come a long way over previous generations, particularly with gas logs. With the addition of fuel sources like natural and propane gas, people have more flexibility in picking the type of fireplace that fits their needs. Wood and coal are no longer the only choices. In just the past 25 years, advancements in gas log technology have led to a multitude of options for modern fireplaces and upgrades for older appliances like basic masonry fireplaces.
Gas logs are one of the most increasingly popular fireplace upgrades. More and more people are converting from wood to gas to enjoy the convenience and ease of operation gas logs provide. Maintenance is easier as well as there is no wood and ash to deal with and gas creates buildup in the chimney at only a fraction of the rate of wood-burning appliances.
There are more variations and applications for gas log sets than ever before. They come in various sizes and types to fit almost any fireplace that allows gas as a fuel type. Most can also now be used with remote controls for the ultimate in convenience and comfort. Building a fire doesn't get any easier than clicking a remote from the comfort of your recliner.
The installation for a gas log set is usually hassle-free taking only a couple of hours, especially if a gas ignitor is already installed in an existing wood-burning fireplace being converted. A-1 Chimney Pro technicians are CSIA certified to install gas log sets and can inspect your fireplace to determine what options are available for you and help you pick the log set that best fits your needs.
