Professional Gas Log Service in St. Louis

Gas logs turn a masonry fireplace into an easy, no-mess fire. Over time the burner holes clog, the pilot gets dirty, and logs get bumped out of place. Logs placed even slightly wrong can block the flame, causing black soot on the logs, the firebox and sometimes the walls of the room.

We clean the burner and pilot, check the gas valve and connections, re-set the logs and embers exactly the way the manufacturer intended, and make sure the chimney damper is properly open or clamped for vented sets. When logs are cracked, crumbling or the burner is rusted through, we can help you choose and install a replacement gas log set that fits your fireplace.

Vented vs. Vent-Free

Know Which Gas Log Set You Have

Vented gas logs burn with a tall, yellow, realistic flame and must be used with the chimney damper open, so the exhaust can go up the chimney. They need a clean, working chimney and a damper clamp or stop.

Vent-free gas logs burn hotter and cleaner and are designed to be used with the damper closed, but they release combustion moisture into the room and have strict limits on room size and run time. They also include an oxygen depletion sensor (ODS) that shuts them off if the air quality drops. A dirty ODS pilot is a common reason vent-free logs shut off.

Not sure which one you have? We will tell you during the visit. Pair it with a chimney inspection if you have not had the chimney checked recently. Contact us to book.
