New gas fireplaces for homes in Colee Hammock
Choosing the wall for the fireplace
The wall you choose decides the vent route, the framing and the finish. Outside walls often allow short horizontal runs to a termination. Interior walls may need a vertical run through the ceiling and roof, or a longer path that the vent tables may not allow.
During the project inspection we look at each candidate wall in turn. We check what is inside it, where the vent could go and what the termination would sit near. You then choose with a clear picture of what each position involves, rather than finding out after the wall is opened.
Gas fireplaces in new construction and additions
In new construction or an addition, the fireplace can be planned while the framing is open, which makes routing and blocking simpler. The appliance still dictates the framing, clearances and termination, so the model should be chosen before the frame goes up around it.
We work with your builder on the sequence. The rough framing, vent route and supply positions are set to the manual, then checked before insulation and wall covering. Late changes to the model can mean reframing, so we confirm the choice in writing before that stage.
Routing a vent through the attic
When a vent passes through an attic, it needs firestops at the ceiling, an attic insulation shield, support and the clearances the vent system specifies. Ducts, trusses and wiring in the attic can affect where the pipe can go.
We check the attic during the project inspection and plan the route around what is already there. Trusses are not cut to make room for the vent. The attic section of the route, including the shield position, is described on your installation record.
What happens at the free project inspection
The free project inspection is where the plan begins. We look at the room, the walls you are considering, the space above and behind them, the outside where a termination could go and the fuel supply situation.
You leave with a clear view of which positions work, which models suit them and which trades are involved. The written scope that follows separates our work from other trades' work. Nothing is ordered until you have read it and approved it. Bring any drawings, product ideas or questions you already have.

Planning questions for a gas fireplace in Colee Hammock
Can the new vent run through a closet or storage space?
It can, where the route allows. The vent is enclosed and the enclosure blocked as the manual describes, so stored items and insulation cannot reach the pipe. We explain what should be kept clear of that enclosure once the job is finished.
Can you replace my old gas fireplace with a new model?
Yes, as a planned installation. The new model's requirements are checked against the existing framing, vent and supply. Old vent parts stay only where the new manual lists them for that appliance.
Do you keep the manual on site for a code inspection?
Yes. The Florida fuel gas code expects the installation instructions to be available on the job site when the installation is inspected. We keep them with the unit during the work and hand them to you at the end.
