Is Installation Correct

12 years ago

We have just had a house built and almost everything went wrong. We had vented gas logs installed and the installer left the logs with the on/off switch almost directly in front of the logs in the fireplace. Surely this is not correct? Looks like the knobs would melt over time, and it would be too hot to put your hand right at the fire to turn off? And of course it looks horrible to have the knobs right in front.
