Ok, so our house has two sets of gas logs. In the basement we turned them on last winter and they had a major propane (like gas grill going) smell. So, we called someone to look at them and for $75 he looked up the flue and told us it was too small to vent properly and we needed ventless instead of vented logs.
This winter we got 'new' ones (from the inlaws house bc they never use them) that are ventless, and there is STILL a very strong propane smell in the house, even the next floor up! It's not the rotten eggs smell, but propane. We don't have a tank, it's run from a line into the house.
any ideas what's going on? I hate to pay another $75 charge for someone to come out if it's normal or an easy fix, but I am concerned about our wellbeing, especially our 3 month old...
Eta...the ones on the main level have the same smell to them, just not as strong.
