No More Stoking The Fireplace With Gas Logs

By Miranda Sweeney


It is snowing outside and you are already in a very comfortable position reading in the couch. Moments later, you do not feel warm anymore. Then you knew, the fire is dying so you get up and add more wood. Then you go back to the couch and resume your reading. Moments later, the fire is dying again and you have to get up and add more wood before you go back and read again. You do that again later and the cycle goes on and on.

A wonderful solution to these lazy days are gas logs Dallas. These are widely used as substitute to real firewood across US in providing warmth for the home without the hassle of starting and maintaining a fire. All it takes is a click in the remote. These come in two types, vented and unvented.

Much similar to that of a real fire created by wood is the vented logs. It creates glowing embers and a yellow flame that makes it more real when you look at it. You will be tricked that the wood is really burning.

As much as how realistic vented types look, they cannot emit the same intensity of heat as that of real wood fire. Not even half of the energy it creates is provided to the house. Take note, only ten percent goes inside the house while the great part of the heat goes outside through the chimney. Now you will wonder who will benefit on the outside. This kind is more commonly used for decorative purposes.

Meanwhile, unvented logs do not look real despite the yellow flame and glowing embers, but provides the warmth similar to that of a real fire. Ninety five percent of the heat goes inside the house. Imagine how warm is that compared to the ten percent of the vented type.

However, no matter how ideal the heat is, the intensity can start a fire. This can happen when any object near it that is combustible caught the power of the log set. Although the wood is not really burning, the heat is strong enough to create a reaction that is why people who are considering having this kind of log set should be aware of this danger. The best thing to do is to keep away everything flammable from the set.

People with asthma or weak lungs might also suffer from the effects of this. One potential danger of this log type is that it causes the oxygen level to drop and another is that it expels a weird odor. However, you need not worry because this type has a built in sensor that will detect when the oxygen level reaches a critical level. If it happens, the sensor will then shut down the power.

Although the unvented type pose more potential danger than the vented, it is the ideal type of gas logs that will provide more heat for your home. However, it all depends on your needs. If the heating system in your home is running perfectly fine and you just need something that will complete the atmosphere, the vented one will do. However, if your purpose is to really make your house cozy and warm, the unvented one will do the job best.

If you do not want to repeat the cycle of lying comfortably, getting up to add more wood and lying back again, you now know what to do. Just do not forget to prepare a place for the remote that is just within your reach. If you want to get lazy, make it all the way.
