Our gas fireplace installation service in The Hammocks
Outside walls and short horizontal runs
An outside wall often gives the simplest route for a direct-vent unit, with a short horizontal run straight through to a wall termination. Even then, the termination has to sit where the manual's clearance rules allow, away from openable windows, doors, soffits, corners and service equipment.
We look at the outside face of the wall as well as the inside. Windows, doors, meters, decks and walkways near the planned exit can push the fireplace along the wall or rule a spot out. We settle the exit point before framing, so the inside and outside line up.
Decorative caps and shrouds must be listed
You may want a decorative cover over a roof or wall termination. The manuals allow only listed decorative caps and shrouds used with the approved vent system, and one warns that a decorative cover can change the clearances the cap needs.
If you want a decorative cap, we choose it from the list for your vent system and check its clearances before ordering. A shroud made on site or taken from another product is not used. The chosen cap is recorded with the vent parts, so future service knows what is fitted.
Supply pressure tests and the appliance
When supply piping is pressure tested, the appliance must be protected. One manual requires the appliance and its valve to be disconnected from the supply during tests above a set pressure, or isolated by closing its shutoff valve during lower-pressure tests.
We agree the order of work with the gas contractor, so their test happens before the appliance is connected, or with the appliance isolated as the manual requires. That avoids damage to the appliance valve before the fireplace has ever been lit. The sequence is noted on the record.
No substitute parts during the installation
One manufacturer disclaims responsibility, and voids its warranty, where the appliance or vent system is modified, installed other than as instructed, or fitted with parts it has not approved. Log and glass positions set incorrectly are on the same list.
We install only the parts supplied or listed for your model and vent system, placed as the manual shows. If a site condition seems to call for a different part, we stop and find a listed answer. That keeps the manufacturer's warranty in place and the appliance within the listing it was tested under.

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.
Do you install gas log sets or vent-free fireplaces under this service?
No, those are separate services. Log sets have their own installation service, and vent-free fireplaces have their own requirements. This installation service covers vented gas fireplaces, either direct-vent or natural-draft.
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.
