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 condo as well as maybe even your life, then i had a gas fireplace as well as in short, one afternoon the gas fireplace somehow ended up getting out of control as well as caught fire to my carpet! It is a nice thing I was there when it happened as I was able to put out the fire with actually minimal damage done to anything however the carpet, then which thanks to the gas fireplace I now need to replace a piece of… Had I not been there when the gas fireplace went out of control as well as set fire to my carpet, it actually well would have burned my condo down! After this incident was over I got rid of this gas fireplace as well as I entirely demanded a refund from the store I bought it from since I had only had the gas fireplace for a few weeks prior to this happening, however after some fighting with the store, I was able to get a full refund as well as I bought 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 opening if you do not have a real authentic fireplace as well as desire to have a fireplace, but they really should discontinue as well as ban gas fireplaces.
This is my feeling on it based on my experience! Gas fireplaces are a hazard to your health, your life as well as most of all your home!
