Can you add a thermostat to gas logs?
Can you add a thermostat to gas logs?
No, gas fireplaces are very versatile and can be used with any type of thermostat, switch, or remote control. However, when you want a thermostat to control a gas fireplace, a millivolt type is best for ease of installation and overall functionality.
Is there a difference between gas logs and propane logs?
What’s the difference between Natural Gas and Liquid Propane gas logs? Gas Logs are either made to burn Natural Gas or Liquid Propane. Because these two gases burn differently, the burner systems must be made specifically for the type of gas that you will burn.
Is it cheaper to run gas logs or heat?
A modern furnace is more efficient in turning gas into heat than a gas fireplace. This means that although a furnace costs more to run per hour than a gas fireplace, it turns more of that energy into heat and can warm a whole house rather than a single room.
Which gas logs are the most realistic?
H. Peterson Real Fyre Gas Logs are the most realistic gas logs because they are meticulously hand-crafted to resemble natural wood and carefully designed and arranged to produce a flame that looks just like a real wood fire.
How do I control the heat on my gas fireplace?
To keep any excess gas from escaping into the room, cover your fireplace with the front panel you removed earlier. Once the cover is secure, you can safely control the fireplace using the gas valve key, turning it counter-clockwise to increase the flames and clockwise to decrease them.
Do gas logs use a lot of gas?
Not at all. Using natural gas is one of the most inexpensive ways to heat your home. That’s why gas fireplaces, gas fireplace inserts, outdoor gas fireplaces, even gas furnaces are such cost-effective heating options. Realistically, most gas-powered fireplaces will burn through about $1 worth of natural gas per day.
How much propane does a gas fireplace use per hour?
As a general rule, a propane fireplace uses about one gallon of propane for each 100,000 BTU. So if you install a propane fireplace that is rated 50,000 BTU, you’ll be using about one gallon of propane for every two hours that it’s in use.
Which gas logs produce the most heat?
Vented gas logs are best for customers that require only a small amount of radiant heat but like the appearance of a roaring fire. While vented gas logs will produce the most realistic flames, they can be quite inefficient in comparison to vent free logs.
What is the difference between a millivolt thermostat and a 24 volt thermostat?
A line voltage thermostat needs to be connected to a power supply of fewer than 30 volts, while a millivolt thermostat needs only 0.75 volts and a line voltage thermostat needs 120 to 240 volts. A millivolt thermostat consumes the least amount of energy while the line voltage type consumes the highest.
Is there a millivolt thermostat?
A millivolt heating system is commonly found in floor heaters and wall heaters that have no external electrical power source. Such heaters include gas-fueled wall heaters or gas fireplaces. This millivolt heating system can only be regulated by a millivolt thermostat.
