Choosing, framing and venting a gas unit
Begin with the room and how you use it
A gas fireplace project starts with the room. Tell us where you picture the fire, where people sit and whether the unit is mainly for the look or for warmth as well. Those answers narrow the models worth considering before any vent or framing question comes up.
We then look at what sits behind and above that wall. The best spot for the view is not necessarily the easiest spot for a vent route or an enclosure. Seeing both early keeps the design honest and avoids a plan that works on paper but not in the building.
Workmanship warranty on the installation
Our workmanship warranty covers the installation work we carry out, such as setting the unit, assembling the vent and completing the connections and checks. The appliance and vent parts carry their manufacturers' own warranties.
Manufacturers set conditions for their warranties, often including installation to the manual and use of listed parts. Installing to the manual protects both. If a fault traces back to our installation work, tell us and we will come back to check it. The estimate explains which warranty covers what.
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.
Sealing upstairs air leaks for a natural-draft unit
Air leaking out of the upper parts of a house can pull air in lower down and work against a natural-draft fireplace. One manual lists recessed lights, attic hatches and leaking ducts among those leaks, and it suggests sealed light cans, sealed hatches and taped duct joints.
We point out those conditions when a natural-draft model is on the table. Sealing work belongs to the builder or the air handling trade, and we do not price it as fireplace work. If the conditions make natural draft doubtful, we explain why a direct-vent unit may suit the house better.

Before you plan a gas fireplace
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 the fireplace go on an interior wall?
Sometimes. The vent route has to reach a permitted termination within the vent tables for the model. Longer routes and extra elbows can rule some positions out, so we check the route before you commit to that wall.
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.
