Gas Logs
Gas logs are a great option for homeowners who want the look of a fire with clean convenience—no hauling wood, no ash cleanout, and quick on/off operation.
A gas log setup should light reliably, burn cleanly, and operate safely. If ignition is inconsistent, the flame pattern looks off, or you’re planning a new install or replacement,
it’s worth getting a clear, inspection-based recommendation instead of guessing.
Kickin Ash Chimney Pros helps with gas log installs, replacements, and troubleshooting. Our focus is simple: safe operation, clean results, and straightforward communication.
We’ll help you understand what the system needs, what’s optional, and what will actually solve the issue—then we’ll back the work with a warranty.

Gas logs are about convenience—when the setup is safe and the system operates reliably.
Why Homeowners Choose Gas Logs
Many people love the look of a fireplace but don’t want the work that comes with wood burning. Gas logs are popular because they’re easy:
quick starts, consistent flame, and less mess in day-to-day use. They’re also a common choice for homeowners who want to use the fireplace more often,
without worrying about storing wood, hauling it inside, and cleaning ash afterward.
- Instant fires without building a fire or hauling wood
- Less mess (no ash cleanup; typically less soot when operating correctly)
- Simple operation for daily use
- Great for ambiance and occasional comfort
- Flexible upgrade path for many fireplaces

Gas Log Installation, Replacement & Service
Gas logs should be treated like any fuel-burning system: they need correct setup and safe operation. If you’re installing a new set,
replacing an older set, or troubleshooting a system that’s acting up, we focus on the basics that make the system reliable:
ignition, flame quality, stable operation, and safe use in the fireplace environment.
If the fireplace itself is deteriorated or damaged, repair work may be needed before upgrades or changes.
A solid install plan focuses on safe operation and reliability—not shortcuts.
Common Gas Log Problems We Can Help With
When gas logs don’t work right, homeowners usually notice the same handful of symptoms. The fix depends on what’s actually happening,
which is why inspection and safe troubleshooting matter.
Ignition/pilot issues are common—getting them addressed early helps prevent repeat headaches.
What Homeowners Notice
- Pilot won’t stay lit or the unit won’t ignite
- Delayed ignition or “popping” starts
- Weak flames, uneven flame pattern, or inconsistent output
- Odors that seem abnormal or stronger than expected
- Sooting, discoloration, or residue
- The system worked last season but not this season
These issues can have different root causes. We focus on safe evaluation and clear next steps.
Flame Pattern, Soot, and “Something Looks Off”
A gas log setup should burn cleanly and predictably. If you’re seeing heavy soot, a strange flame pattern, or residue around the firebox area,
don’t ignore it. The safest move is to have the system evaluated so you’re not continuing to run a setup that isn’t operating correctly.
If you’re considering other upgrade options, inserts and stoves are worth comparing:
Clean operation and a healthy flame pattern are key—if it doesn’t look right, get it checked.
Fireplace and Chimney Condition Still Matters
Even though gas logs are “easier” than wood burning, the fireplace environment and chimney system still matter. Water intrusion can rust components.
Deterioration can create repeating issues. And if the chimney is blocked or compromised, it can lead to odors and performance problems.
If you’re due for general inspection or want a baseline safety check, start here:
Leaks & Water Damage
Stains, rust, dampness, and musty odors often point to water entry. If water is driving the issue, the leak source needs to be solved—not just the symptom.

Gas Log FAQs
Quick answers to common questions about gas logs and reliable operation.
Do gas logs need service?
They can. If ignition is unreliable, the flame pattern looks off, or you notice abnormal odors or residue, it’s time to have the system evaluated.
Why won’t my pilot stay lit?
Pilot issues can have a few common causes. The safest approach is to evaluate the system and recommend the correct fix—no guessing.
Do you offer free estimates?
We start with inspection before estimates so recommendations and pricing are based on actual conditions—not guesses.
What if I want more heat output?
If your priority is stronger heat, an insert or wood stove may be a better fit than gas logs. We can help you compare options.
