Why Should You Choose a Gas Log Fireplace?
Are you thinking of adding a fireplace or wood stove to your home? Perhaps you’re considering converting your older, inefficient fireplace into a high-efficiency GreenSmart® gas or wood insert.
If you’re still on the fence about whether you should consult a fireplace contractor, here are some benefits you should consider:
PROPANE Gas log fireplaces generally run off of propane which is a cheaper and cleaner alternative to wood-burning fireplaces. As well as being energy efficient, the risk of leaks is also greatly reduced; along with less ash clean up.
NON-COMBUSTIBLE Gas log fireplaces are made of non-combustible material (ceramic) that is safer for you and your home. This also eliminates the risk of burning embers being thrown onto your carpet or floor.
APPEARANCE Gas logs are generally handmade and painted. They can be painted in your choice of colors and are beautifully crafted to reflect your taste!
CONTROL With a gas log fireplace, gone are the days of wrestling with matches trying to get your wood stove working. Propane fireplaces are usually controlled with a flip of a switch.
LONGEVITY Unlike wood-burning fireplaces, where you have to continue to repurchase wood, a gas log fireplace can last up to 10 years plus. There is also the added bonus of being able to keep your fireplace going for as long (or as short) as you would like!
MAINTENANCE Fireplace maintenance should also be a consideration. Gas log fireplaces take very little maintenance compared with a traditional fireplace. Depending on how often you use your gas log, it should be cleaned at least once a year. Using a vacuum, and a toothbrush is all that is needed.
Signs Your Gas Log Fireplace Needs Repair
As mentioned above, gas log fireplaces do require less maintenance than a traditional fireplace, but that does not mean they will not require some attention. Gas log fireplaces should be inspected annually. Though they are safe, gas logs can have serious consequences if not inspected and maintained properly. Fire, explosions, and carbon monoxide poisoning can occur with a faulty system. That being said, there are things you can look for that may indicate an issue:- Strange Odor - If you notice an odor that smells like eggs, you could potentially have a gas leak. It’s important to note that new gas logs will have a faint smell of eggs when you first turn them on and off; this is normal and okay. However, if the odor persists, you should have a professional look into it right away.
- Ventilation - If you have a gas log fireplace in conjunction with a chimney, you could experience a ventilation block. Usually, the block is made by birds or animals nesting in your chimney. Unfortunately, when there is a block, the gases can eat away at the inner walls of your chimney. Allowing those gases to build up in your home can cause potential health risks and costly repairs.
- Pilot Light - If your pilot light continues to turn off, you may have an issue with the thermocouple. A thermocouple is what covers your pilot light when it is off. This is going to stop any gas from being released when your fireplace is not in use.
