Power for the fireplace

Electricity for a gas fireplace? Many need it, for electronic ignition, a blower or a remote receiver, and some run on batteries. The manual says what the unit needs and that it must be grounded to the electrical code.

The outlet or connection gets planned with the unit. If a new circuit or outlet is needed, an electrician installs it, and the quote says so. Our pros also show you how the unit lights during a power outage, if its manual allows it. Outlets go where the manual puts them. Reserve a planning visit that covers power in Bronson at (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Gas heat for an addition

Adding a room to a home in Bronson? Planning a gas fireplace during the addition means the framing, vent route, gas line and power are built in from the start. Our specialists work with your builder, and the quote separates our fireplace work from the construction. Framing, gas and power are planned together with the builder's schedule. Planning early also avoids opening finished walls later on.

Our Process

Planning a gas install in Bronson

Trace the vent routes

Walls, attic and roof are measured against the vent tables and termination clearances.
Choose and plan

You pick a unit, and the plan covers framing, gas, power and every trade involved.
Install to the manual

The unit is set, the vent assembled and pitched, and the gas contractor connects the line.
First flame and a walkthrough

Leak test, pressures, logs and barrier are checked, and you're shown how to use it.

Facing, mantels and the clearance chart

The wall around a gas fireplace has rules. Each manual says which materials must be noncombustible and how far, and gives a chart for mantels: how high above the opening they must be for a given projection.

Some units allow a TV mounted above; others limit what can go there. Choosing a mantel or a TV spot before checking the chart is how people end up with a scorched mantel or a warped screen.

Going through the chart with you before the wall is finished heads that off, and the finish carpentry is named on the quote with its trade. The chart is kept with your copy of the manual.

Running a gas fireplace on propane

Natural gas or propane, a fireplace burns the one its rating plate names. A propane unit either leaves the factory set up for it or gets the maker's conversion kit, and propane tanks stay outdoors, as the manuals say. Some manuals set a minimum tank size for the unit.

Your propane supplier or a gas contractor handles the tank, the regulator and the line to the house.

Our specialists make sure the unit is set up for propane before it's installed, fit any conversion kit to the maker's instructions and set the pressures to the plate. The quote names each part of the job.

The first burns in a new unit

New gas fireplaces smell for a while as paints and binders cure. Makers call it normal and advise opening windows and running a fan until it passes. One maker recommends a long first burn, several hours with the blower off, to get it over with.

Our pros give you your unit's break-in steps noted on the quote, since they vary by maker.

The smell should fade after the first few uses. A rotten-egg smell is different: that's gas, and the manual's steps are to get out and phone the gas supplier once outside. The written steps stay with the manual. Any question during those first fires is one call away.

FAQs

What to ask before a gas install in Bronson

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 Bronson at (352) 675-6366.

Why does my new gas fireplace smell?

Paints and binders cure during the first burns, and makers call that normal. A rotten-egg smell is gas: get everyone out, then phone the gas supplier once you're outside.
