Choosing the controls

How a gas fireplace lights and how you run it are part of the choice. A standing pilot with millivolt controls works without house power, and its pilot burns whenever the unit is on standby. Electronic ignition lights the pilot only when called, needs power or a battery backup, and pairs well with a remote or a thermostat. Some units offer both modes. We set out the options each candidate unit offers for your Murray Hill room, including what it does in a power outage, so the controls you get match how you plan to use the fireplace. Want gas heat in Murray Hill in a room with no chimney? We check the wall first, and it starts with a call to (904) 920-5495.

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.

Replacing an old gas fireplace in Murray Hill

An old gas fireplace can be replaced with a new unit, but its vent is only reused when the new manual lists it.

For replacements in Murray Hill, we read both manuals and tell you whether the vent stays or goes.

Keeping clear of the gas meter

The gas meter's pressure regulator has a small vent that can release gas, and a fireplace termination nearby could ignite it or draw it in. The clearance table in the manual sets a minimum distance between the termination and the regulator vent outlet, along with separate distances from mechanical air intakes such as those on air handlers and ventilators.

On the site walk we find the meter and any intake on the same wall, measure to each, and keep the termination away from both. If the best remaining spot is too close, the route changes. Both distances go on the plan.

A vertical termination through the roof

When the vent goes up instead of out, it climbs up past the ceiling and across the attic to a vertical cap, which stands as high above the roof as the manual requires for that roof pitch. The penetration is sealed with the roof flashing and storm collar that come in the vent kit, fitted as its instructions show. Around them, the roof covering itself may need sealing and patching, and we name the trade that does it. In the attic, the pipe keeps its listed clearance to framing and insulation, with the shield the vent maker supplies.

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 Murray Hill

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.

Is a permit needed for a gas fireplace?

Yes. The permit comes from the local building department, and its inspections cover the gas connection, the vent and the framing before the finish closes them in. Both appear on the estimate.
