Gas Logs

Vent free gas log fireplaces are self-contained systems that can be installed in walls or open areas, and are not connected to the house or the outdoor air. These units can range from tightly sealed wood versions which need to be replenished to wall-mounted fireplaces that are connected to a old chimney where the flu has been sealed shut.

Vented fireplaces are connected to a flu or chimney that leads through the house and outside, creating a channel of open air to the fireplace. These type of gas logs are usually installed where a traditional, wood burning fireplace used to be. On occasion a chimney can be installed specifically for a gas fireplace, although this is most common in new houses.
