What goes on the installation plan

The plan that comes with the estimate is specific. It names the unit by maker and model and gives its listing, shows the framed opening and header height from the manual, draws the vent route with each elbow and its length, and marks the termination spot with its measured distance to each nearby opening, soffit and corner. It also lists the gas supply and who runs it, any outlet and who adds it, and the facing and mantel limits for the finish. On a job in Lake Asbury, that plan is on site from the first day to the final inspection. Want gas heat in Lake Asbury in a room with no chimney? We check the wall first, and it starts with a call to (904) 920-5495.

How It Works

From vent exit to first burn in Lake Asbury

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

Sizing the gas supply in Lake Asbury

The burner needs its full rated input at the pressure on the rating plate. The supply line is sized for that, with the rest of the house running too.

The gas contractor sizes and runs the line in Lake Asbury, and we check the pressure at start-up.

Distance to windows and doors

The termination of a direct-vent unit has to stay a minimum distance from any window or door that can be opened, so exhaust cannot drift back inside. The distance grows with the unit's input rating in steps set by NFPA 54, and the manual's clearance table repeats them.

A permanently closed window has its own, smaller recommendation in some manuals. We measure from the edge of the termination to the nearest edge of each opening, including windows above and beside it, and mark the spot only when every distance clears. The table also covers doors, including sliding glass doors that open.

Framing the enclosure and the header

Framing starts from the manual's drawing, which gives the width, height and depth of the enclosure and the header height above the unit. The header matters because the space above a gas fireplace gets hot, and the manual sets how high framing can come. Some units have drywall support tabs on their face, and the manuals point out that those tabs are for holding the drywall edge and never for carrying framing or a header.

We build the enclosure to the drawing, square and plumb, so the unit sits where the clearances assume it does. A header set too low means reframing, so it is measured twice.

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 Lake Asbury

Do you run the gas line to the new fireplace?

No. The line to the unit's shutoff valve is a gas contractor's job, or the propane supplier's on a propane system. The estimate says who and when, and start-up follows once gas reaches the valve.

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.
