Putting it in while the walls are open

A remodel that already has the walls or ceiling open is the easiest time to add a gas fireplace. The framed enclosure, the vent run through open framing, the gas line and any wiring can all go in before the drywall, and the inspector can see each of them.

While the Nassauville remodel is still in planning, we can give your contractor the framing sheet from the unit's manual so the wall is built to fit. Getting the dimensions in early costs nothing and saves cutting into a finished wall later. Tell us the remodel schedule and we fit the fireplace steps into it. We plan gas fireplace installs in Nassauville on a first visit that costs nothing; call (904) 920-5495.

Nassauville sits a short way inland. Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church lies within Nassauville.

How our gas fireplace pros install a unit in Nassauville

Vent exit found first
We find where the vent can leave the house within the manual's clearances, then pick the unit to suit.
Frame and run the vent
The enclosure and header are framed to the drawing, and the vent is run with its supports, pitch and firestops.
Trades, wiring and gas
Wiring goes in before the wall closes, and the gas contractor brings the line to the shutoff valve.
Start-up and inspection
Pressures are read, joints leak checked, the inspector signs off, and we go over the controls with you.

The opening on your Nassauville house stays covered until the termination is fitted and sealed.

Pipe inside a pipe

Direct-vent pipe is coaxial: an inner pipe carries exhaust out, and the space between it and the outer pipe carries fresh air in. The two streams run side by side all the way to the termination, which has openings for both. Because the incoming air surrounds the hot inner pipe, the outer wall stays cooler than a single-wall vent would, and that is part of why the listed clearances to framing are small. The pipe, its joints and its termination are one listed system from the vent maker the manual names, and parts from another system are not mixed in.

The volume rule for B-vent units

A B-vent fireplace takes its combustion air from the room, so the fuel gas code limits where it can go. In a bedroom, it is allowed only when the room has at least 50 cubic feet of volume for each 1,000 Btu per hour the unit burns, the code's standard method.

A small bedroom can fail that test with a modest unit. A direct-vent unit, which takes all its air from outside, is not held to the same volume rule when installed to its listing. We do the arithmetic from the room's measurements before recommending either. Ceiling height counts, so a tall room holds more volume than its floor area suggests.

Choosing termination parts near salt spray

Salt spray speeds up corrosion of exposed steel, and a new vent termination spends its life outdoors. Near the coast, we look at what the vent maker offers for the termination, its trim and its fasteners, including stainless or coated options where the maker lists them, and use those parts on the exterior. The termination is placed where it can be reached for rinsing and inspection, and the manual's clearances still govern its spot. The corrosion-resistant parts chosen are recorded, so they can be matched if anything is replaced later. Rinsing the cap with fresh water now and then slows the salt down.

Before the vent hole is cut

Can a gas fireplace be installed in a house in Nassauville 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.

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.
