Gas fireplaces in bedrooms

The fuel gas code lists bedrooms among the rooms where gas appliances are not allowed, then writes exceptions that cover fireplaces. A direct-vent unit qualifies when it is installed to its listing, since it takes no air from the room. A B-vent unit qualifies only in a room big enough for the code's volume test, which compares the room's cubic footage with the unit's input. For a bedroom in Fruit Cove, we measure the room, take the input from the unit's specifications, and put the arithmetic on the estimate so you can see whether a B-vent model passes or a direct-vent unit is the answer. Ring (904) 920-5495 with the room you have in mind, and our gas fireplace pros will plan the Fruit Cove install on a free visit.

How It Works

Vent out, frame, wire, start up

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

Wall openings in Fruit Cove in the storm months

Hurricane season lasts from June through November. A new opening through the wall or roof has to be weathertight before any storm arrives.

Exterior work on installs in Fruit Cove is timed to the forecast, and the opening is covered until the termination is sealed.

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.

What the unit sits on

The manuals we install from let a unit sit directly on wood flooring or a subfloor. When it would sit on carpet, tile or another combustible surface other than wood flooring, the manuals call for a metal or wood panel under the full width and depth of the unit. The unit is then secured to the floor or to the framing with the fasteners and points the manual shows, so it cannot shift when the facing is installed or the glass is removed for service. Raised platforms are built to the same rule, with the panel on top. The panel goes on before the unit is slid into place.

Wiring before the wall is closed

Remote receiver, wall switch and blower wiring are run before the finish goes on, as the manuals ask, because running it afterward means cutting into the new wall. A millivolt wall switch needs its own low-voltage wire to the valve, sized and limited in length as the manual shows.

A blower or an electronic-ignition unit needs an outlet in the location the manual gives, added by an electrician. We rough in the low-voltage wiring during framing and confirm the outlet is in place before the drywall goes up. The wire runs are labeled at both ends for whoever services the unit later.

FAQ

Gas fireplace install questions from Fruit Cove

Can a gas fireplace be installed in a house in Fruit Cove without a chimney?

Yes. A direct-vent unit uses its own listed vent pipe through a wall or the roof, so no chimney is needed. The site visit checks where the termination can go.

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.
