Folks the answer to most of your questions is: Vent-free gas log set and fireplaces a totally safe if installed by a certified gas technician. It is not a DIY project! Also, Vent-free gas logs have a safety feature an (Oxygen Depletion Sensor) that will automatically shut the appliance off if something goes wrong. Vented Gas Appliances do not. In addition.they do require Annual Service, whether you use it a little or a lot. Failure to do this will cause problems down the road. Also, all vent-free appliances are made to operate on one fuel type. Each burner is set up to run only on Natural Gas or Propane. They are not interchangeable from one gas type to the other. Attempting to do so will cause problems you don't want to deal with. And, finally. Purchasing from a gas log dealer in your area is safer than buying one online or a big box store. Because they should have the knowledge to size the the BTU output to your specific needs. Since Vent-free is 99% efficient, more is not better. By the way, in the past 20 years over a million Vent-free units have been sold and installed in home throughout the country. According to the American Lung Association, there has never been a death related to use of a Vent-free gas appliance. When properly installed and operated according to the Owners Manual requirements.
@@glstevens7186 The gas shutoff valve may be in the OFF position. Therefor, no gas is getting to the pilot. Was this professionally installed or was it a DIY project?
@@glstevens7186 Is it a natural gas or propane unit? Are you following the Owner's Manual instructions for lighting the pilot. Also, is the gas line shutoff valve turned ON?
Hi John. Thanks for talking with me today, I appreciate your time. I'm curious if you can tell me what the model of insert you guys are using in this video? I just purchased a home with this insert and I'd like to know the make and model for my records. Thank you also for the step by step on replacing the logs. I'm not sure if I would be able to put this back together without this video. It's a huge help. Thanks in advance.
You prolly dont care at all but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Sean John thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and im in the hacking process now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I live in an old house that has a "fireplace". It was originally set up to hold a gas stove I believe and not act as a full on fireplace. It has a flu and has brick surround. I do not believe the flooring is fire rated. per a chimney sweep. Do you think it would be safe to use a ventless set up for this fireplace? vent closed or open?
I see some models of ventless fire places offer a circulating fan. Will this give you more heat (BTU/Hour) than a ventless fireplace without the circulating fan installed?
I know this is an old video, but we moved into a home with this type of vent free system but the previous homeowners didn't leave a manual. My unit looks just like the bottom of this unit, can you tell me what the brand of this one is?
When the lower level of my home was finished the contractor put in a gas fireplace and log set, however, it was installed without a vent. Can't use it, as when lit gives off a terrible and I assume toxic smell. Can I convert this gad fireplace to ventless without replacing the firebox. Is it the log that create the toxic smell or the gas itself as it has no vent?
+Dan D. Dirges yes my artificial logs look burnt and there is black soot build up inside the glass insert and under the burner. I have shortness of breath. I suspect but don't know for sure that this is the cause.
Can you replace a vented system with this system? Do you then just run the damper closed? We currently have a vented log set that doesn't work and no damper.
Only if that's all you have available. And the burner must must be setup at the factory for Propane Gas. There is no conversion available to switch from one gas type to the other.
