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 San Marco 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 San Marco on a first visit that costs nothing; call (904) 920-5495.
San Marco is one of the named neighborhoods of Jacksonville. San Marco is in Duval County.

How It Works
How gas fireplace installation runs
-
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
Propane installs in San Marco
A propane fireplace runs from a tank outside the house, and the manuals are clear that the tank never goes inside a structure.
For propane installs in San Marco, the supplier sets the tank and runs the line, and we coordinate the start-up with them.

Soffits, eaves and porch ceilings
Heat and exhaust rise, so the manual sets how far below a soffit or eave a termination has to sit. A ventilated soffit, with openings that could take exhaust into the attic, needs more distance than a solid one. Porches and decks are handled separately: a termination may sit under a veranda, porch or deck only when it is open on the sides the manual specifies, and at the height it gives. Vinyl soffits can deform from heat, and some makers warn against terminating beneath them.
We check each overhead surface near the chosen spot. The measurements go on the plan.
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.
No shortcuts through an old flue
An existing chimney or flue in the wall can look like a free vent path, but a vented gas fireplace uses the vent system its manual lists, run from the unit to its own termination. A vent tied into a wood-burning chimney, or shared with a water heater or furnace, is outside what the manuals permit.
Where an old chimney is to carry a gas vent, that is an insert or liner job with its own listed parts. The new vent route is drawn in full, from the unit to its own termination. That keeps each appliance's draft and exhaust separate. No existing flue is borrowed.

FAQ
Before the vent hole is cut
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.
