Cold Air Coming Out Of Gas Fireplace

How can i fix this.

Cold air coming out of gas fireplace.

I would get some plastic sheeting and tape it up all around the front of the fireplace real good so no air comes through. We recently bought a 1996 house which has a majestic gas fireplace. Fireplace heaters fireplace heaters are another option to. Use good quality duct tape.

It seems that the gas insert s enclosure bottom must sit off of the bottom of the fireplace opening by about an inch. Use our flue cover to stop the outside air from coming in through the flue. Chances are before you had gas logs installed your fireplace was a wood burning fireplace. Use a top sealing damper the purpose of a top sealing damper is to act like a storm door to keep your heated or.

You could use clear or black plastic. Look on the outside of the house near the location of the fireplace and see if you find a small vent near where the bottom of the fireplace would be. The only reason why your vented gas fireplace is drafty is because of the gas logs being installed. I m guessing that that along with a void between the back of the insert and the flue is allowing cold air to come down the chimney past the back of the insert and underneath the insert and out into my family room.

However with vented gas logs cold drafts are quite common. If it is coming from the bottom then it could be make up air.
