New gas fireplaces for homes in Coral Shores
The listing printed on the rating plate
The Florida fuel gas code expects gas appliances to be listed and labeled for the application in which they are used. For a fireplace, the rating plate and manual tell you what the unit is listed as and how it must be installed.
We read the listing before the design is fixed. It decides the vent systems the unit accepts, the clearances it needs and the rooms it may go in. An appliance installed outside its listing can lose that protection, so the listing guides every later decision on the project.
Drawings, builders and other trades
Gas fireplace projects often involve a builder, an electrician, a gas contractor and a finish trade. Each needs the manual's requirements that affect their work, such as framing sizes, clearances, noncombustible zones and supply positions.
Bring any drawings you have to the project inspection. We mark up the requirements for the chosen model and share them with the other trades before they start. When everyone works from the same manual, the finished opening fits the appliance and the appliance fits its listing.
Adding a gas fireplace during a renovation
A renovation that opens walls or ceilings is a good moment to add a gas fireplace, because routes and framing can be built before finishes go on. It also means coordinating with trades already on site.
Tell us the renovation schedule and which walls will be open. We plan the appliance, vent and supply positions to fit it, and flag anything the manual requires that the renovation plan does not yet show. The fireplace work is priced as its own item, separate from the rest of the renovation.
Firestops at each wall and ceiling crossing
Where a gas fireplace vent passes through a combustible wall or ceiling, the manuals require firestops or wall shields. These parts hold the specified air space around the pipe and close the opening between spaces.
We fit the firestops and shields supplied for the chosen vent system at every penetration, on each side of a wall where the manual calls for it. The installation checklist in many manuals includes a line for firestops, and we complete it before the walls and ceilings are closed.
The gas fireplace project scope you approve

Questions about installing a gas fireplace
Is there a discount on a gas fireplace installation?
Yes. Once the free inspection is done, you have 72 hours to approve the installation, or any service we quote, at 10% off. The window counts from your own inspection and is shown on the estimate.
What stays with me after the installation is finished?
The installation and owner's manuals, a walkthrough of normal operation and a written record of the work listing the model, vent parts and checks. Keep them together near the fireplace or with your house papers.
Can you move an existing gas fireplace to another wall?
Moving a unit is treated as a new installation at the new position, with its own vent route, framing and supply coordination. The old opening and vent need closing properly, which may involve other trades.
