Adding a gas fireplace

Like the look of a fire with a switch instead of a log pile? A gas fireplace can go on an outside wall and vent straight through it, or vent up through the roof where the wall won't work.

Unit, vent route and the framing around it are planned together, following the maker's installation manual. The gas line to the unit is a gas contractor's job, and your quote says who does it and when, so the pieces come together on schedule. You'll see the whole plan priced before anything is ordered. Talk to our specialists about a gas fireplace in Bell at (352) 675-6366.

Our Bell coverage is inland from the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. From the Gainesville reference point, Bell is about 31 miles away in a direct line.

Additions and new rooms

Adding a room to a home in Bell? That's the easiest time to plan a fireplace, with the footing, framing, chimney route and air supply built in from the start. Our specialists work with your builder, and the quote separates our fireplace work from the builder's construction. Planning early saves opening finished walls later, and it keeps the fireplace in proportion with the new room.

Our Process

Building your fireplace in Bell

  1. Look at the room

    The wall, floor, attic and roof are looked at, then the fireplace options that fit are laid out.

  2. Plan and price

    You choose a unit, and the quote lists every part, trade, permit and inspection.

  3. Install and check

    The unit and its chimney or vent go in to the manual, with clearances checked before walls close.

  4. Test and hand over

    The unit is tested, you're shown how to use it, and you get the break-in steps noted on the quote.

What a masonry fireplace stands on

Masonry fireplaces and their chimneys weigh enough to need a foundation of their own. The Florida Building Code has it poured in concrete or built of solid masonry, with a minimum thickness of 12 inches and a margin of 6 inches or more around the whole footprint.

It goes in before any brick does, which is one reason masonry fireplaces are planned for the ground floor.

Our specialists lay out the footing with the fireplace design, check the ground conditions they can see, and explain what the building department will want to inspect before the masonry goes up. The footing is priced as its own stage.

How deep a masonry firebox has to be

Firebox proportions depend on the fireplace design. Standard masonry and Rumford-style arrangements have different requirements, and depth must be considered with the opening, throat and flue. Our pros discuss the proposed design before choosing dimensions or pricing the masonry.

Opening size, depth, throat and flue need to be planned together. Our pros explain the proposed arrangement and any questions that must be resolved before construction, rather than promising draft performance from a single dimension.

A Rumford-style fireplace has its own proportions and may be worth discussing where that design suits the project. Its appearance, construction and venting requirements belong in the planning conversation before it is compared with a standard masonry fireplace.

The gap between masonry and framing

Combustible framing must remain outside the clearances required for the masonry fireplace. The design also determines the appropriate fireblocking. Concealed details need to be established before finishes cover them, with any required inspection planned into the work.

Our specialists establish the required separation for the proposed fireplace and check the framing arrangement before surrounding finishes conceal it.

Trim and facing near the opening have their own limits, and those are checked too, so the finish work doesn't undo the clearances hidden behind it. The checks are noted on your quote along with the framing plan.

FAQs

What to decide before an install in Bell

Will an electric unit need its own circuit?

Some plug into a standard outlet; larger or built-in units may need a dedicated circuit. The unit's manual decides, and an electrician runs any new circuit.

Will the new fireplace need a permit?

Generally yes, and the local building department inspects the framing and the finished install. Our pros put on the quote who pulls the permit and whether the fee is included.
