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 LaCrosse at (352) 675-6366.

Retiring an old gas unit in LaCrosse

Time to retire the old gas fireplace in LaCrosse? A new unit may fit the old vent or may need a new one, depending on its manual. Our pros read the old rating plate, check the vent and framing, and show you which replacements fit with what each would take. The old unit and its parts leave with our pros.

Pitch on horizontal runs

The horizontal parts of a gas fireplace vent aren't laid dead level. Each system's manual sets how they're pitched, and the figure differs from one maker's system to another, which is why our pros read it for your unit instead of relying on habit.

A run pitched the wrong way can collect condensation or cause the flame to go out, a problem maker troubleshooting sections point to directly.

Our specialists set the pitch with a level as each section goes in and support the pipe at the spacing the manual calls for, so it stays put. The pitch is checked again before the finish goes on.

The floor beneath a gas unit

Manuals say what can go under the unit. A unit set on carpet, tile or other combustible flooring may need a metal or wood panel beneath it running its full width and depth, while wood flooring may be allowed directly.

The floor also has to carry the unit's weight and hold it level so the logs and burner sit right.

Before the vent is connected, our pros check the floor, fit what the manual calls for and level the unit. On a raised platform or in a wall, the base is framed to the manual's dimensions. The panel's material is named on the quote.

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

Picking the right gas unit

Can it vent straight out the wall?

If the wall is an outside wall and the spot meets the maker's termination clearances, yes, and that's the simplest route. Otherwise, the vent can go up through the roof.

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 LaCrosse at (352) 675-6366.
