The parts of a gas fireplace project

Controls, remotes and ignition options

Gas fireplaces offer different ignition systems and controls, from standing pilots to on-demand pilots with remotes, thermostats and timers. The model decides which options are available, and some need household power or batteries.

We explain the control options for the models you are considering and what each needs from the house. If you want a wall switch or a remote in a particular place, we plan the wiring route with the manual in mind. Controls are chosen from the maker's own list for the model, not from general accessories.

Side walls, shelves and cabinets near the opening

Manuals set clearances from the fireplace opening to side walls, shelves and built-in cabinets, as well as to projections above. Combustible materials close to the opening can overheat if these clearances are not kept.

If you plan built-ins beside the fireplace, share the design early. We compare it with the manual for the chosen model and mark the limits for the cabinetmaker or builder. After installation, we check the finished built-ins against the same figures before the fireplace is lit.

Power vent kits for difficult routes

Some manufacturers offer power vent kits for certain models, allowing routes that would not work with natural draft or a standard direct-vent run. A power vent adds a fan, its own electrical supply and its own installation rules.

One manual asks for a safety inspection of the venting system before and after a power vent is installed. It also requires the power vent to be reachable through an access panel. We explain whether a power vent is listed for your model and what it adds to the project before you decide.

Closing an old vent or opening properly

When a gas fireplace moves or is replaced by a model with a different route, the old vent and termination may no longer be needed. They should be taken out or closed off properly so they do not let water or air into the house.

We explain what should happen to the old parts and which trade handles the wall, roof or finish repair. Our part of that work is priced on the estimate. Leaving an unused termination in place without sealing it is not part of a finished job.

Questions from Fontainebleau about new gas fireplaces

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.

Can you install a propane fireplace?

Yes, where the model is supplied for propane or converted as its manual allows. Your propane supplier or a gas contractor handles the tank, regulator and piping. We confirm the fuel on the rating plate before the unit is set in place.

What if I smell gas after the new fireplace is installed?

Get everyone out of the house, leaving switches and the fireplace controls untouched. From the yard or the street, ring 911 or the gas utility, and stay out until they confirm the building is safe.
