Gas Fireplace
Inside a Gas Fireplace Installation
We work from the maker's manual at every step, from the vent table to the start-up checks.
Clearances to framing and finishes
Minimum clearances to combustible framing, sheathing and finishes are listed for every gas fireplace, around its sides, top and front. Those numbers belong to the model, and two units that look alike can have different ones.
Our specialists build to the clearances in your model's manual and check them again before the wall is closed. It is one of the reasons we ask for the exact model number before any framing starts.
Securing the unit in place
Once it is set and leveled, the fireplace is fastened to the floor or the framing at the points the maker provides. A unit that can shift puts strain on its vent joints and the supply connection.
Our specialists secure the unit before the vent and connections are completed, then confirm nothing has moved once the enclosure is closed. The fastening points and method are part of the manual's installation steps, checked off like any other step.
Natural gas or propane
The rating plate shows the one fuel a gas fireplace is set up for, and the unit can only be used with that fuel. Propane tanks belong outdoors, and some manuals set a minimum tank size.
Our specialists confirm the fuel at your home, order the unit set up for it and note in the estimate who handles the supply. If you may switch fuels later, they point you to models the maker allows to be converted.
Adding a blower to move the heat
Many heater-rated units can take an optional blower that pushes warm air out into the room. It needs power and a spot in the manual's accessory list for the model.
Our specialists explain whether a blower suits your room and install the listed kit, with the wiring planned in from the start. Blowers make a soft sound when running, and many can be turned down or off when you want quiet.
