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 Tallulah-North Shore, that plan is on site from the first day to the final inspection. Want gas heat in Tallulah-North Shore in a room with no chimney?

How our gas fireplace pros install a unit in Tallulah-North Shore
-
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.
Rear vent or top vent in Tallulah-North Shore
Some direct-vent units ship as rear-vent models and can be converted to top vent. The choice sets the framing, so it is made before anything is built.
We pick the vent direction for your Tallulah-North Shore install from the route to the outside wall or roof.

Supports, thimbles and firestops
A vent run needs support along its length, at the spacing the manual sets, so joints do not pull apart over time. Where it passes an outside wall, a wall thimble or firestop from the vent maker holds the pipe centered and keeps its clearance to the framing. Where it passes a ceiling or floor, a firestop spacer does the same job.
Horizontal pipe keeps the clearance the manual lists, which on some systems is larger above the pipe than beside it. Air spaces around the pipe stay open, with no insulation packed in. Joints are locked as the vent maker's instructions show.
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.
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.

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 10% discount cover a gas fireplace installation?
It does, when you book the installation within 72 hours of the free inspection. The written estimate shows the 10% off as its own line.
