Gas Burner Installation in Houston, TX

No — this service installs the combustion hardware: the burner, its pan, and the matched ceramic log set the flame plays across. The gas valve that meters fuel and the pilot or electronic ignition that lights it are separate components with their own jobs. We connect to whatever valve and ignition you already have; if those need work or you want a remote added, that's a different service.

It's sized in BTU to your firebox volume, not to the biggest set on the shelf. A burner rated above the firebox throws flame against the back and sides, scorches the panels, and soots the logs black; one rated below it looks thin. We measure depth, width, and height and match the input to it, because an over-fired burner can't be tuned back to safe.

Yes, and it's the part most often gotten wrong. LP runs at roughly three times natural-gas pressure and needs a much smaller orifice to meter it, so an NG burner fired on propane over-gasses and soots while an LP burner on natural gas starves to a weak flame. We confirm your fuel at the meter or tank and fit or drill the correct orifice — it's a parts change, never a knob adjustment.

Because a single ceramic log a half-inch off the manufacturer's diagram makes the flame strike it, and an impinging flame quenches, soots, and streaks the firebox black within a season. We lay every log to the placement diagram and dress the ember bed so the fire rises clean and glows like real coals — that layout is the craftsmanship you actually see, and it can't be bought off a shelf.

Not always, but the chimney is the most common culprit on a masonry home, and it's the one most people skip checking. Gulf downpours expose four intrusion paths — a cracked crown, failed flashing at the roofline, a saturated brick face, and (on prefab chimneys) a rusted-through chase cover. We run a moisture meter and a controlled dye test to find which one is actually leaking before we quote, so you fix the real path instead of caulking the wrong spot.

That's efflorescence — mineral salts the Gulf humidity has drawn out through saturated masonry. It's not just cosmetic; it tells us water is moving through the brick freely, which is the early stage of spalling. The premium fix is a breathable waterproofing membrane that stops liquid intrusion while still letting the wall dry, never a hardware-store sealer that traps the moisture in.

In Houston, yes — arguably more than in a cold climate. Your enemy here isn't freeze-thaw, it's constant saturation: nine months of humidity plus tropical rain keep masonry wet, which rots mortar, feeds spalling, and rusts the firebox and damper from inside. Sealing is the highest-value preventive dollar you can spend on a Houston chimney, and we do it with a breathable system to manufacturer spec.

Treat an open flue as urgent in Houston, because the next rain band is rarely far off. We prioritize same-day cap and chase-cover re-secures after named storms, document the damage for your insurance file, and follow up with a proper fabricated cap sized to your flue rather than a generic part. An exposed flue takes on water fast here, so closing it is step one.

Houston spans century-old masonry in The Heights and River Oaks to sprawling prefab-firebox new-build across its suburbs. The humid Gulf climate means the dominant work is animal and nest removal, chase-cover and cap corrosion, and moisture intrusion — not the freeze-thaw of colder metros. Gas Burner Installation is part of keeping that local housing stock safe, efficient, and up to code.
