Professional Gas Log Set Installation Services You Can Trust

Transforming your fireplace has never been easier or more stylish. At The Chimney Guards, we specialize in gas log set installation for homeowners across San Francisco and the greater Bay Area. Whether you’re upgrading from a traditional wood-burning fireplace or refreshing an outdated gas setup, our experienced technicians provide safe, precise, and visually stunning installations that bring warmth and comfort to your home.

What Is a Gas Log Set?

A gas log set is a realistic arrangement of ceramic logs designed to replicate the look of a real wood fire β€” without the hassle of chopping, stacking, or cleaning up ash. Available in vented and vent-free models, gas log sets offer flexibility, convenience, and efficient heating while maintaining the cozy ambiance of a traditional fireplace.

Vented log sets produce a beautiful, natural flame and use your existing chimney for exhaust. Vent-free options deliver higher heat efficiency and don’t require a chimney, making them perfect for spaces where venting isn’t possible.
