A1 Gas Logs

Also referred to as “unvented”, “non-vented” or “ventless”.

The vent free ceramic fiber logs are very popular because they burn cleanly and utilize the clean, hot blue flame that is normally associated with other gas appliances such as kitchen stoves and furnaces. If you are looking for an additional heat source for your home the vent free gas logs are the best alternative to choose. While not a appealing aesthetically, they still produce an attractive flame and are far more effective at heating than they vented type of gas logs. Vent free logs can be burned with the damper closed allowing for maximum heat output into a room and in some cases blowers can be used, but we recommend that you test the system prior to continuous use with a blower and also check with the manufacturer of the logs to make sure that using a blower will not cause any problems with burner and flame disruption.

When choosing the vent free gas log systems you need to make sure that you have the correct set up with your fireplace. A vent free log will need a maximum input of 40,000 BTU’s and they must have an oxygen depletion sensor (ODS). This sensor will shut off the gas logs when and if the oxygen level in the room falls before normal (21%). A hood is typically recommended when using a vent free system as well to keep the mantle over the fireplace from becoming excessively hot.
