I have to tell you that I will never ever again buy or mess with a gas fireplace! These things are potentially dangerous as well as could do a lot of damage to your home as well as maybe even your life; I had a gas fireplace as well as in short, one morning the gas fireplace somehow ended up getting out of control as well as caught fire to our carpet! It is a good thing I was there when it happened as I was able to put out the fire with entirely minimal damage done to anything but the carpet, and which thanks to the gas fireplace I now need to update a piece of.
Had I not been there when the gas fireplace went out of control as well as set fire to our carpet, it entirely well would have burned our home down! After this incident was over I got rid of this gas fireplace as well as I genuinely demanded a refund from the store I obtained it from since I had only had the gas fireplace for a few weeks prior to this happening, after some fighting with the store, I was able to get a full refund as well as I obtained myself an electric fireplace.
At least with the electric fireplace it will not catch anything on fire unless you threw something directly into it! Much safer option if you do not have a real authentic fireplace as well as desire to have a fireplace, and they entirely should discontinue as well as ban gas fireplaces. This is our feeling on it based on our experience; Gas fireplaces are a hazard to your health, your life as well as most of all your home!
