Gas Logs FAQ - Part II

How Energy Efficient Are Gas Logs?

On average, gas logs use between 55,000-85,000 BTU’s per hour.

In comparison, seasoned firewood burns at a rate of 18-23 pounds of wood per hour (to put out the same amount of heat).

Statistics from Nashville, Tennessee concluded that average hourly cost of burning gas logs ran about $1.03 per hour, whereas the average hourly cost of burning wood was $1.37 per hour.

That comes out to a savings of 25%!

(Numbers were deduced from 2005 surveys conducted by Tennessee gas companies and firewood distributors.)

Where Can You Install Gas Logs?

Consider installing gas logs in your existing fireplace or hiring a contractor to install gas logs in your master bedroom, great room, or rec room. Gas logs add atmosphere and warmth to any room.

Should I Install Vented or Unvented Gas Logs?

In general:

  • Unvented gas logs put out more heat, create less pollution, and use less gas
  • Vented gas logs smell better, do not require a CO2 detector, and are considered safer (by some) than unvented gas logs

When deciding which type of gas logs to install, you’ll need a professional to come evaluate the following:

  • What type of fireplace you have
  • What size gas logs will be best for your set up
  • How much BTU your fireplace can handle
  • What kind of venting you have available
  • What types of gas logs are legal in your area
