That’s why we’re such proud providers of Real Fyre products at Owens Chimney. Thanks to their immaculate attention to detail, Real Fyre gas logs give off such a similar ambience to wood-burning systems, that you might forget your fire is fueled by gas!

What’s the Difference Between a Gas Fireplace & Gas Logs?

So, you’ve been reading all about these different gas log sets – how nice they burn and how realistic they look, but you’re not quite sure what the difference is between gas logs and gas fireplaces…or if there is any notable distinction at all. The truth is that while similar, sets of gas logs and actual gas fireplaces are, in fact, different products, but two that go hand in hand.

Depending on your specific setup, gas logs can either be hooked up and installed within a more traditional, open-facing hearth or within an enclosed gas fireplace itself (hence the differentiation between vented and ventless). Basically, when you’re shopping for a gas fireplace, you’re looking to purchase a whole new appliance – logs and all – versus buying a set of gas logs to replace the ones on the floor of your firebox.

Clear as mud? We get it…this industry is notorious for its convolution. The good news for homeowners looking for a fireplace store near Charlotte, NC, is that Owens Chimney is here to help. We’re always happy to answer questions that help guide you in the right direction for your home and family. Contact us right here online, or give us a call at 704-554-9595 to learn more.

How Long Do Gas Fire Logs Last?

That’s a great question. Unfortunately, the answer is not that straightforward. Gas log lifespan depends on a handful of different factors including those like system operational habits, general wear and tear, and more. For instance, if you follow the manufacturer instructions and only use your fireplace accordingly, your set of gas logs will certainly last longer than if you didn’t care for them properly.

That said, depending on your fireplace model (whether it is vented or ventless) your gas logs will still have a lifespan to be mindful of. Generally speaking, vented gas logs can last upwards of 10 years with the right care and maintenance (which we’ll go into more detail on in the next section), but if you’re using a vent-free fireplace, your logs’ longevity is about halved and you can expect a solid three to five years of performance before looking into replacements.

If you’re not sure how old your gas logs are and when you should think about shopping for a replacement, here are some signs that you might want to consider investing in a new set:

• Noticeable cracks, breaks, or chips
• Dull, dirty, or dingy appearance
• Strange sounds and smells that weren’t there before
• Issues igniting the flame or staying lit
• Bizarre or different performance in heat and flame production

If I Use Gas Logs, Does My Chimney Still Need To Be Cleaned Regularly?

Absolutely. You might be surprised to hear how often we get asked about gas appliances and their annual maintenance. While gas-fueled fireplaces, inserts, and stoves are certainly considerably less maintenance than any of their wood-burning counterparts, it’s important to not confuse less maintenance with no maintenance.  Sure, gas doesn’t produce the same amount of harmful, particulate byproduct matter as wood, but it’s still a fire. And with any fire comes noxious gases and harmful fumes that, especially over time, can wreak havoc on chimney systems and open the gateways for a bunch of different dangers to enter your space.

Regardless of appliance specifics and fuel type, preventive, routine maintenance services such as chimney cleanings and inspections are required each and every year.

Not only do these tasks remove any existing buildup that might hinder the exhaust’s smooth exit from the system and ensure everything is as it should be, but they also serve as a way to detect danger before it becomes a bigger issue. Luckily, Owens Chimney System can help with that, too. If you’re in need of one of these vital services, don’t hesitate to reach out and we’ll help you get that taken care of right away.
