Planning a Gas Fireplace the Right Way

Gas fireplace installs in Ybor City start with a free planning visit and a written price.

Power for ignition, fans and controls

Many gas fireplaces need electrical power for electronic ignition, fans, lights or remote receivers. Makers call for the unit to be wired and grounded to local codes or NFPA 70, and at least one notes that spark ignition can interfere with a TV on the same circuit.

New wiring or a new circuit is a job for an electrician, and our estimate names that work. Our pros plan the receptacle or junction box location to the manual.

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.

The mesh barrier over the glass

Fireplace glass on a gas unit runs hot enough to cause burns. The 2015 revisions of ANSI Z21.88 and ANSI Z21.50 brought in a barrier requirement for units whose glass passes a set temperature, which is why many newer models ship with a mesh screen in front.

Our pros install the barrier your model came with and show you how it comes off for cleaning. It stays on whenever the fireplace is in use.

Gas in an existing wood fireplace opening

If you already have a masonry fireplace, a built-in gas fireplace is only one option. A gas insert fits inside the existing opening and vents through a liner, and a log set turns the fireplace to gas with less work.

Our pros explain those choices plainly. Gas fireplace insert installation and gas log installation are quoted as their own services, so you can compare them side by side.

On any service we offer

Vent, framing and start-up come 10% off booked within 72 hours of the visit.
