Access for service later

Planning to build the fireplace into a wall of cabinets or stone? The control compartment has to stay reachable for service, and the fuel gas code says panels, grilles and access doors that come off for normal servicing can't be fastened to the building.

So the finish is planned with a lower grille that comes off and a valve, receiver and connections that can be reached. It saves tearing out finish work the first time the unit needs a check. The access is shown on the plan. Ask our pros about building in your gas fireplace in Hawthorne at (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Power outages and gas fireplaces

Want a gas fireplace in Hawthorne that still gives warmth when the power is out? Whether that works depends on the unit's ignition and the manual. Our specialists show you which models can light and run without power, and how to do it with the one you choose. Battery backup packs are checked at handover. You get the manual's outage steps written out.

Vertical rise and horizontal run

Vent tables tie the pipe's horizontal run to its vertical rise. A longer run needs more rise before it, so the exhaust has the lift to carry it out.

Each elbow counts against the allowed length, and the tables set minimums as well as maximums. A route that falls outside the table can starve the fire of air or push exhaust back.

Our pros sketch the route with its rises, runs and elbows and check it against your unit's table before anything is cut. The sketch goes on your quote, so the installer and you are looking at the same plan.

Keeping exhaust away from windows and doors

Exhaust leaving the termination shouldn't find its way back into the house. That's why each manual carries a clearance table, drawn from the national fuel gas code, that sets how far the termination must sit from windows and doors that open.

The distance can depend on the unit's input rating, and permanently closed windows have their own figure.

Every opening near the proposed spot is measured and compared with the table in your unit's manual. If the spot fails, our pros move it or recommend a roof termination. Those measurements are written into the plan. Nothing is cut until the spot passes.

Electrical needs and grounding

Many gas fireplaces need power for ignition, a blower or a receiver, and some run on batteries. The manual lists what the unit needs and requires it to be electrically grounded according to local codes or the national electrical code.

The manual puts the outlet or connection inside the fireplace's electrical compartment, and that's where it's planned.

Any new circuit or outlet is installed by an electrician, and the quote says so. Our specialists also show you how the manual says to light the unit if the power goes out, where the design allows it. Battery backups are shown to you as well.

FAQs

Planning a gas fireplace? Ask us

Who runs the gas line?

A gas contractor does. Our specialists plan the connection point and coordinate the timing, and the quote names each trade.

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.
