Framing the opening

Building a wall or a box for the new fireplace? The maker's manual spells out the opening size, where the header sits and the space the unit needs, and the framing has to match.

Our pros frame to the manual or check the framing another trade has built, before the unit goes in. The drywall tabs on many units help hold the finish but aren't meant to carry framing, so the unit gets fastened down to the floor or framing as its manual shows. Getting the frame right is what lets the finish look good later. Reserve a framing check in Bell: (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Tight houses and direct-vent units

Is your home in Bell tightly sealed, with strong kitchen and bath fans? A direct-vent gas fireplace takes its air from outside, so the house's pressure doesn't upset it.

That's one reason our pros recommend direct-vent units in most rooms, and they'll explain why for your house. Rooms with strong exhaust fans don't upset a sealed unit's flame. That steadiness is one of their biggest advantages.

Venting out the back or out the top

Many direct-vent units ship set up to vent out the back and can be converted to vent out the top, following the manual's steps. Rear venting suits a unit on an outside wall; top venting lets the pipe rise before it turns out the wall or goes up through the roof.

Which one your installation uses depends on the wall, the framing and the vent table.

Our specialists choose the setup that gives the cleanest route, convert the unit if needed, and note it on the plan. A top-vented unit may need a taller frame, and that's planned in. Either way, it's the manual's steps.

Soffits, porches and decks

The termination table in each manual also covers what's above and around the vent: ventilated and unventilated soffits, porches, verandas and decks, inside corners and gas meters. Some of those are allowed with more distance; some aren't allowed at all.

A vent tucked under a porch roof, for example, can trap exhaust where people sit.

The whole area around the proposed termination is measured against the table, well beyond the nearest window. Vinyl soffits and siding may need extra clearance or a heat shield, and the maker's instructions settle that. The final spot is marked on the plan, with the distances to each feature.

The gas line and its shutoff

A fireplace's gas supply is sized for its input and run to the fuel gas code, with a shutoff valve where the manual shows, so the unit can be isolated for service. That work belongs to a gas contractor.

Planning the fireplace so the connection point is clear, and timing it so the line is ready on installation day, our pros also check with the gas contractor that the supply matches the unit's rating plate.

Once connected, the unit's side is leak-tested and started up to the manual, and each trade's part is named on the quote. Nothing is lit until the connection passes its test.

FAQs

What to ask before a gas install in Bell

What's the difference between a heater and a decorative unit?

Heaters are listed to ANSI Z21.88 and built to warm the room; decorative units are listed to ANSI Z21.50 and put the look of the flame first. Our pros show you both. Talk to us about which suits you in Bell at (352) 675-6366.

Is a gas fireplace install covered by a warranty?

The install gets our workmanship warranty, and the maker's warranty on the unit applies under its own terms. Reserve your free planning visit in Bell at (352) 675-6366.
