Our gas fireplace installation service in Lauderdale Harbours

Checking the unit and parts on arrival

Appliances and vent parts can be damaged in shipping. Manuals ask installers to tell the dealer about damaged parts and not to install them. A dent or crack can affect how the unit seals or vents.

We inspect the appliance, glass, logs, vent pipe and termination when they arrive, before they are built in. If anything is damaged, we tell the dealer and wait for a replacement rather than fitting it and hoping for the best. That check is recorded, along with the serial number of the unit.

What the installation estimate includes

The estimate names the appliance, the vent system and route, the framing or chase work in our scope, the accessories, the commissioning checks and the handover. Every item appears on a line of its own, which shows what the installation covers.

Work carried out by other trades, such as supply piping, electrical circuits, roofing beyond the flashing and finish materials, is listed as their responsibility rather than hidden inside our price. If you want us to arrange part of that work, we say which trade will do it and how it is priced.

Inserts and log sets have their own services

A gas insert slides into an existing fireplace and vents through liners, and a gas log set sits in a working wood fireplace. Both are gas appliances, but their planning, venting and requirements differ from a built-in gas fireplace.

We handle inserts and log sets under their own installation services. If your plan involves an existing fireplace opening, tell us, and we start with the service that fits. This installation service is for new vented gas fireplaces framed into a wall, a chase or a new opening.

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.

What the gas installation quote includes

  • Vent route checked against the vent tables
  • Clearances to combustibles marked out
  • Control and service access planned
  • Pressure readings and operating check

Before you plan a gas fireplace

What happens on the day the new fireplace is lit?

We check the appliance connection for leaks, take pressure readings, light the unit and watch it through its sequence. Then we show you the controls, the barrier and the maintenance list in the manual.

Do you handle the drywall, tile or stone finish?

No. The finish is done by your builder or a finish trade. We give them the manual's requirements for materials and clearances and check the result where it affects the appliance before we light it.

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.
