GBDo Not Buy - Poor product, even poorer customer experience Would not recommend RealFyre by RH Petersen. Ordered two sets of the same product in late Nov 2023. - Real Fyre G9 Vent-Free Burner with Variable Flame On/Off Remote, Natural Gas G9-20/24/30-15 - Real Fyre Split Oak Gas Log Set They arrived on time, no problems. My state-certified plumber installed one in the basement. That seems to work fine - not top notch quality, but adequate. Two downsides - 1) low, flicker/"whooshing" sound whenever it's on 2) pilot flame is huge and can't be turned down at all. However, the one upstairs has never worked - the pilot flame would light, but would not stay on. Called technical support - they said I needed a part and I would need to call the Real Fyre dealer. 12/6/23: Called the dealer - they said they could ship the part, but I would need to pay. Asked about warranty, so they submitted a warranty request. Received an email the next day (12/7/23) asking a bunch of questions and for pictures. No response until 12/21/23 stating that the manufacturer requires me to send back the whole unit for inspection! In the meantime, I have no operating fireplace in my upstairs fireplace in the middle of the coldest months of the year... I was a little delayed sending it back until after the holidays, but it's now February and still haven't heard anything. Instead of making this right and delivering a great customer experience, they're trying to prove that the buyer (or the plumber) did something wrong. In a nutshell, I would not recommend Real Fyre RH Peterson www realfyre dot com.

GBRetailer doesn't take responsibilities for their own shortcomings... Purchased an item that according to the description on their website was compatible with my system. System failed after a month of use, sent detailed photo's and video to Peterson. They initially stated the unit I ordered wasn't compatible with my system, to which I showed that nowhere in the purchase process was this indicated. They then moved to instructions, stating I hadn't followed the instructions correctly. They sent me an example from the instructions. Issue here, they didn't send me the instructions they shared with me. The instructions I received with the unit DID NOT provide the example they showed. Ultimately, they did not by any stretch of the imagination provide information to make the correct purchase decision or execute the installation correctly. Now, I've got a dead unit and a retailer that refuses to accept any responsibility on their end.

GBPeterson Is Our Only Choice Had Peterson Firelogs io our prior home for 20+ years and enjoyed them every time we turned it on - which was quite often in the Pennsylvania winters. Moved to a new home in SC which had another brand log-set and one of our first home improvements was to replace it with another Peterson Logset. I was concerned that we were switching from natural gas to propane but in the end, no worries - the fire is as robust as ever and maybe even better, But then the technology has improved too. Peterson is our only choice.

BEValue of product is only fair Value of product is only fair. Flame does not burn clean through gas regulator and sand base. It should be a bluish flame but is yellow.

GBEveryone loves our new log set! We love our log set we’ve had almost a year now. I was happy to see this reminder to review pop up in my email only after we’ve had some time to use and enjoy our purchase. We had our log set professionally installed by a plumber who previously worked for a gas log company on their installs. He was really impressed with the set and the burner stating it was probably the nicest he’s ever installed! We and our guests all agree. We added black lava rock to cover sand and bright burning faux embers below the logs. We get to enjoy this vented set even more with the remote start. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for the ambiance of a real fire with a classic look and ease of use. Thank you!
