How Long Will Gas Logs Last?
The lifespan of your gas logs depends on a few different factors. The first is the type of material they are made of. Most gas logs are made of ceramic. This allows them to withstand the high temperatures of a fire. Some logs are made of cement. Cement logs can begin to fade in appearance within 2 to 3 years, depending on use. The type of gas logs you have will also help to determine how long they will last. Vented gas log sets can last over 10 years if well taken care of. Ventless gas logs can also last a long time, however if heavily used, wear can begin to show after 3 to 5 years. So, the short answer is your gas logs should last several years. Obviously the higher the quality of the log and the more infrequent use will add time to your log set.
