Planning the mantel and the finish

The wall around a gas fireplace is where the finish goes, and the manual sets the rules for it. Only noncombustible materials such as tile or stone may cover the metal face of the unit, fixed with an adhesive of the temperature rating the manual specifies.

A mantel has to sit at or above the height the mantel chart gives for its depth. If you have a finish in mind for your Baldwin room, we check it against the charts before anything is bought, and the framing includes blocking for the mantel at the right height. Checking a finish early is cheaper than removing it after the inspection. Natural gas or propane at your Baldwin home? Say which on the call to (904) 920-5495.

How It Works

How gas fireplace installation runs

Unit and vent route chosen
We pick a listed unit for the room and draw the vent route against the manual's vent table.
Framed and vented to the manual
Framing, header and clearances come from the manual, and the vent is run with its firestops and supports.
Gas and power by their trades
A gas contractor or the propane supplier brings gas to the shutoff valve, and an electrician adds any outlet.
Start-up readings and leak check
Pressures are read at the valve, every joint is leak-checked, the flame is checked and the barrier fitted.

Local Conditions

Direct-vent in a room with no chimney in Baldwin

A direct-vent unit brings its own coaxial vent, so it needs no chimney. It can exit straight through a wall or up through the roof.

That makes a gas fireplace possible in many Baldwin rooms that never had one.

Rear vent or top vent, set before framing

Some direct-vent units ship as rear-vent models, with the pipe leaving the back of the firebox straight toward the outside wall, and can be converted to top vent for a route that rises first. The choice depends on where the termination can go. Set against an outside wall, a rear-vent unit gets the shortest possible run.

A top-vent unit set away from the wall, or one that has to climb to a roof exit, needs the vertical rise that the vent table allows. The conversion follows the manual and is done before the unit is set in its framing. The manual lists which configurations the unit allows.

Pitching the horizontal runs

The manual says how a horizontal section of vent is pitched, and different systems ask for different things. One system may allow a level run while another asks for a set rise per foot away from the unit, so the figure comes from the manual in hand every time. The pitch decides how exhaust and any condensate move through the pipe. A section that sags or runs back toward the unit can upset the draft and, on some units, put the pilot out.

We set each section with a level and support it at the spacing the manual gives. Pitch is checked again after the wall is closed around it.

Siding, standoffs and heat

Vinyl siding needs protection from a termination's heat, and vent makers supply a standoff or siding shield for it. The standoff holds the termination out from the siding so the cladding is not in contact with hot parts, and the kit instructions say how it is mounted and flashed into the wall.

On brick or stucco, the termination mounts to the wall surface with its own trim. The manuals also require the termination to sit flush with the wall surface rather than recessed into it, so exhaust can clear the wall. Stucco and brick still need the termination sealed to the wall as the kit shows.

FAQ

Before the vent hole is cut

Does a gas fireplace need an electrical outlet?

Units with electronic ignition or a blower do, in the location the manual shows, and an electrician adds it if one is not there. A standing-pilot unit without a blower can run with no house power.

Does the first-service discount cover a gas fireplace installation?

It does, when the installation is your first job with us. The written estimate shows the 10% off as its own line.
