Are gas logs safe?

A gas log set is an easy and relatively inexpensive way to upgrade an older, open-burning wood fireplace. A gas line is installed into the fireplace and connected to a gas burner.

Specially designed logs are carefully positioned on the burner, and gas flames are designed to dance between the logs.

Properly installed and operated, gas logs are perfectly safe and can provide a wonderful atmosphere in your living room. Ensure an NFI-certified professional performs the installation and follow all requirements in the owner’s manual for proper operation. Note that the damper in your fireplace will have a clamp installed to prevent it from completely closing.

Please note: these are not legal in Canada.
