Why Clearwater Homeowners Call Us
Gas log installation sets a burner, valve and ceramic log set into an existing fireplace so it runs on gas instead of wood. In Clearwater our crew installs vented sets, which keep the damper open, and vent-free sets where the fireplace and room allow them; the logs are placed exactly as the maker's diagram shows.

Signs You May Need Gas Log Installation
A gas log set turns a working masonry or factory-built fireplace into a gas fireplace without replacing it. The ceramic logs sit over a burner, with a valve and pilot below. The big choice is vented or vent-free, and the fireplace you have decides a lot of it.
- A wood fireplace you no longer want to tend
- A working chimney and an existing gas supply
- Old logs that are cracked or crumbling
- A log set that burns sooty or yellow
Vented gas logs installation
Vented gas logs burn with tall, yellow flames that look most like a wood fire, and they send their exhaust up the chimney. Because of that, the damper must be held open with a clamp whenever the set is installed, as the log set instructions require. Vented sets need a working, unobstructed chimney.
Vent free gas logs installation
Vent-free logs burn cleaner and release their exhaust into the room, so they can be used with the damper closed. They come with an oxygen depletion sensor and limits on room size and use. Some local rules and some fireplaces do not allow them, and we check before recommending one. Our ventless gas fireplace repair page covers service on these sets.
Gas fireplace log replacement
Ceramic logs crack, crumble and shift over the years. When they are placed wrong, they block flames and cause soot. Gas fireplace log replacement uses logs made for your burner, set in the pattern from the diagram, with fresh embers and a clean burner.
Gas line and setup
If the fireplace has no gas valve yet, a licensed gas contractor brings the line to it. We install the burner and valve, check for leaks, place the logs, light the set and show you how to run it. A gas log set installation also includes a leak check at every fitting.
Gas Log Installation Questions
Do I need to replace my gas fireplace logs?
Replace the logs when they are cracked, crumbling or soot-covered. Missing pieces are another reason, because the logs then no longer sit in the pattern the burner expects. Misplaced or damaged logs cause sooty flames, and cleaning plus correct placement fixes many sets.
Can gas fireplace logs catch fire?
Ceramic gas logs are made to sit in the flame and do not burn the way wood does. Logs that are cracked, misplaced or the wrong type for the burner can soot up or overheat; adding wood, paper or other material to a gas log set is not safe.
What are gas fireplace logs made of?
Most gas log sets use one of two materials, ceramic fiber or refractory cement, each shaped and colored to pass for wood. Ceramic fiber logs are lighter and glow faster above the burner, while refractory cement logs are heavier and more detailed. Both are made to sit in the burner flame of a listed log set.
Do you need logs for a gas fireplace?
A gas log set needs its logs, because they are part of how the burner was tested and how the flames spread. Gas fireplaces with a modern burner may use glass or stones instead; use only the media the maker lists for that burner.
