If you take a look at the choices of gas logs available in the market today, you will be surprised at the huge number of options that you can choose from. The choices available differ a lot in terms of style, installation, functions, and price. Georgetown Fireplace & Patio being in the fireplace business for quite a long time already wants to share their knowledge about gas logs.
Gene Henry, the owner of Georgetown Fireplace & Patio, has noticed that a lot of people tend to make their gas logs as the focal point of a room, which means that they place it in an area where it’s going to be highly visible. “If you plan on doing this, you need to pick a set that will perfectly compliment the look of your décor”, Gene says. Before you buy a set of logs, you should first see them work. Most mass markets do not burn the sets they sell and on top of that they buy regionally in volume which gets great pricing on cheaper product but are limited in function. For instance surrounding states require standing pilots (natural gas) while Texas does not. This limits the scope of choice and pulls an already low flame down more leaving little heat and poorer flame. In your living room, is price the number one item? If the look, heat and function are still at the top, you need to look closer.
Once you have chosen the set you like you still have some decisions. We are living in the world of “immediate” and “remote control”! If you have natural gas in the Texas, Louisiana, or Oklahoma area you can simply match light (natural gas). This will give you years of trouble-free use without service calls or expense. However, if you are like a large part of the market then a “flick of the button” interests you. Setting up and protecting the valve and the remote receiver of the remote system is very important so that you get good life out of the components. Sometimes people do not like the advice we give! But believe it or not we do not like to do service calls any more than customers do! So sometimes we can explain the function and how to protect the components in the process. And remotes can approach the price of the logs so time well spent!
The styles of logs do change very slowly. Most people identify with the look that they grew up with or that were used in grandpa’s house. The logs that Georgetown Fireplace & Patio offer all start with a real branch and a mask is lifted from that branch. You can see every little detail in the bark, split or burned areas. Also each piece is finished by hand with two to seven colors that are hand applied. Absent will be bubbles (from the pouring process) and ugly product because details are important!
They strive to have gas logs installed in a very short time. Sometimes out of town installations do take longer than we like. However each set is treated with extreme importance. The finishing cosmetic appointments and placements are very important. Although the logs can be re-arranged we recommend the placement for best results. They do hundreds of gas log installations and pride ourselves on understanding and knowing the products. They do not change product lines every year. In fact they have sold Hargrove since 1985. The logs have a lifetime warranty against cracking, crumbling or just plain breakage. Most lifetime warranties are not worth the paper written on, but this one is!
