A gas fireplace log set can add the aesthetic beauty of a natural fire without the hassle of wood. Gas log sets are now designed to provide basic radiant heat which adds comfort and coziness to your room, but will not heat your home. They offer fingertip controls - from match lighting in the basic unit to the simple twist of a knob or to the total convenience of a remote control.
Operating costs for Natural Gas run from 40 cents to $1.20 per hour based on the BTUH input of the log set's burner and is higher for Propane. Maintenance is minimal - no more ashes! Initial costs range from $500 to $900 for most installations
including the log set and gas piping
Current building codes require the fireplace damper to be fixed in the open position for safety and a glass set installed (an additional cost) for energy conservation while the log set is not in operation.
Environmentally Safe and Clean
Gas Logs burn clean. They don't use up precious forest resources or pollute the air like an open wood burning fire. And, they don't affect indoor air quality.
Convenient and Easy
With Gas Logs, you can start your fire by turning a variable flame control, throwing a switch or pressing a button on a remote control.
Economical
Gas Logs eliminate the high expense of firewood. Your log set will continue to provide enjoyment and comfort year after year.
Efficient
Laboratory tests prove Gas Logs heat twice as efficiently as a wood fire.
