Gas Fireplace Installation Details That Matter in Tampa Palms
Each gas fireplace installed in Tampa Palms is covered by our workmanship warranty.
Direct-vent and B-vent gas fireplaces
A direct-vent fireplace is sealed from the room. It draws all of its combustion air from outside through one part of its vent and sends exhaust out through the other, as described in the Florida fuel gas code (section 303.3) and the makers' manuals. A B-vent unit takes its combustion air from the room and vents up through its own pipe.
For most new installations, direct-vent is the practical choice because it leaves room air alone and can vent through a wall or roof. Our pros explain which type your model is and why it suits your room.
Heater-rated or decorative
Vented gas fireplaces come in two broad groups. Units tested to ANSI Z21.88 are gas fireplace heaters, meant to warm the room, while units tested to ANSI Z21.50 are vented decorative fireplaces, chosen mainly for the flame. The fuel gas code (sections 604.1 and 605.1) ties each type to its standard and to the maker's instructions.
If you want real warmth on cool evenings, a heater-rated model makes sense. If the fireplace is mostly for looks, a decorative unit may fit better. Our specialists read the rating plate with you before you decide.
Using an existing chimney as the vent path
Some direct-vent units can vent through an existing masonry chimney, using a liner or conversion kit the manual lists for that purpose. The manual also warns that a gas vent must not connect to a chimney that serves a solid-fuel appliance.
Our specialists check whether your chimney can serve as a vent path for the model you want and which listed kit it would take. If it cannot, a wall or roof vent is priced instead.
Replacing an older gas fireplace
A new fireplace in an old opening is not always a straight swap. The replacement may need a different vent size, different framing or a new termination, and the existing vent can be reused only when the new manual allows it.
Our specialists compare the old setup with the new model's requirements and price what has to change. If removal uncovers damage, they show you before the work goes further.
