Swapping out a tired gas unit
Gas fireplace old, hard to light or missing parts the maker no longer makes? Replacing it can be simpler than you'd think if a new unit fits the old opening and vent, or it can mean a new vent too, depending on what the new unit's manual allows.
The old rating plate, the existing vent and the framing narrow the choice, and you'll see the replacement units that fit, with what each would take. The old unit is removed and the new one installed to its listing. Call our pros about replacing your gas fireplace in Starke at (352) 675-6366.
Starke recorded a population of 5,796 in the 2020 Census. Starke is an inland service location, separate from the sea coast.

Local Conditions
Insects and nests in a new termination
A termination on a home in Starke that sits unused for months can attract wasps and nesting birds, which can block the vent. Our specialists ask the vent maker's list about guards for your termination and show you how to check it before the first cool evening of the season. Checking the termination before the season starts takes a minute and saves a service call.

The bedroom question
Sleeping rooms come with restrictions on gas appliances under the fuel gas code. Direct-vent units that take all their combustion air from outside can go in a bedroom where their listing allows it, and vented gas fireplaces can only under conditions the code sets, including room volume.
Unvented appliances have their own, tighter rules.
No model gets recommended until your unit's listing and the room's size are checked against those rules. If the room doesn't qualify for the unit you like, our pros show you one that does. The rule and the reasoning go on the quote. Unvented units get a closer look still.
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.
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.

FAQs
Picking the right gas unit
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 Starke 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.
