Start-up and handover
Lighting the burner is not the end of an installation; the readings are. At start-up the gas pressure is measured coming into the valve and going to the burner and compared with the rating plate, each connection gets a leak-detection solution, and the pilot and main flame are compared with the manual's drawings once the unit is warm. Logs and embers go onto the diagram and the barrier screen goes on.
Before we leave the Green Cove Springs house, you run the unit yourself, find the shutoff valve with us, and keep the manual. A year later, the first service is due. Ring (904) 920-5495 with the room you have in mind, and our gas fireplace pros will plan the Green Cove Springs install on a free visit.

Local Conditions

Facing materials and the heat they see
The metal face around the opening of a gas fireplace runs hot enough that the manual controls what goes over it. Only noncombustible finishes the manual accepts qualify, which rules out wood, paneling and ordinary drywall on that surface. Facing goes on with a high-temperature adhesive of the rating the manual names, and any joint sealed between the facing and the wall uses a high-temperature sealant. Wood trim and combustible board stay outside the zone the drawing marks.
Choosing a facing that meets those rules before it is bought avoids tearing it out after the inspection. Metal trim kits from the maker can frame it.
Service access that stays open
Service is part of owning a gas fireplace, and for vented decorative units the fuel gas code keeps the way in open: panels, grilles and access doors removed for normal servicing are not to be attached to the building. In practice that means the lower grille, the control compartment and the glass frame stay removable after the finish goes on, with no tile, trim or caulk sealing them in. We point out those parts to whoever does the finish and check them before handover, so the next service visit does not start with a pry bar. The access is also what keeps yearly service quick.
The first long burn
A new gas fireplace gives off an odor the first time it runs, as the paint and materials cure, so plan on open windows during that burn-off, as the manuals advise. One maker recommends running the unit for an extended period the first time, with the fan switched off. We start that process at handover, open the windows, and tell you what to expect over the first few fires.
An odor that persists after the burn-off, or any smell of gas, is a different matter and a reason to call. Children and pets are best kept out of the room while it happens.

FAQ
Gas fireplace install questions from Green Cove Springs
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.
Can I choose the tile or stone around the fireplace?
Yes, within the manual's rules. Only noncombustible materials may cover the metal face, set with the adhesive rating the manual gives, and a mantel follows the manual's chart.
