I am smelling gas odor when using my ventless gas fireplace..is this normal?
Oct 23, 2006 by Daniel H
I have a ventless fireplace(also called a ventless gas log heater) in my livingroom. The way it is set up, there is a clamp that props open the flue about 1/2 inch. The first time we ran it we immediately got a strong gas odor that filled the whole house. The gas man came out when I reported the smell and he said the odor is normal a by-product of gas burning and I should run the fireplace with the flue closed. But the odor gives us a headache so we run it with the flue completely open ..odor is gone but we get no heat out of it at all. What is he talking about when he says the gas odor is normal..this just doesnt seem right even though he had the co2 wand out and did not detect anything... and running it with the flue closed that really doesnt seem right!!!
help
Concerned Daniel.
Gas leaks and/or vapors will kill you!! The headaches are your body telling you something is wrong. If it is a true gas leak anything that causes a minimal spark could ignite it and blow up your home and kill everyone in it. Turn the fireplace completely off so the pilot goes out. If it is the only thing in the house being fed off of a tank of some sort turn the tank off at the valve till it can be looked at by someone else. If you have natural gas at a meter you do not need to worry about the supply to the rest of the house assuming this is the first and only problem you have had prior to the install of the fireplace insert.
Contact a gas appliance repair person from another company immediately and get them to check it and set the flue damper correctly purge your lines and use a gas sniffer for any leaks in the lines, couplers and valves.
Don't mean to scare you but I have had to be involved in some gas explosion investigations in my state that people had lost their lives in.
Where can i find plans for building a fireplace/mantel for a ventless gas firebox?

Hang on a minute.
As a HVAC professional, I must ask you to please reconsider a vent less fireplace.
Every day in America 1 to 10 people are killed by accidental carbon monoxide poisoning.
A gas appliance is one of the biggest producers of carbon monoxide, thus this is the biggest offender.
When you burn a fossil fuel, you have a by product, and need to vent it outside.
Check with your local building department in your town, or county.
And be safe first.
