New gas fireplaces for homes in Wynwood
Bedrooms, bathrooms and the fuel gas code
The fuel gas code restricts gas appliances in sleeping rooms and bathrooms. Exceptions include direct-vent appliances installed to their listing and manual, and some vented fireplaces in rooms that meet the code's room volume rules.
If you want a fireplace in a bedroom or bathroom, tell us at the start. We check the model's listing and manual for approval in that kind of room and explain what the code allows. Some units are approved for bedrooms and some are not, so the choice of model follows this question rather than leading it.
Combustion air for units that use room air
A natural-draft gas fireplace burns air from the room it sits in. The fuel gas code sets methods for providing enough combustion, ventilation and dilution air, either from inside the building or brought in from outdoors. Direct-vent units follow their manuals instead, because they draw air from outside.
For natural-draft models, we look at the room and the connected spaces during the project inspection. If the room does not meet the code's indoor air method, outdoor air may be needed. We explain what that means for your plan before the model is ordered.
Wall switches and the appliance circuit
Some gas fireplace manuals call for an unswitched supply to the appliance, meaning the circuit is not turned off by a wall switch. A wall switch for the fire itself is usually wired to the control system, not to the power supply.
We make that distinction clear to the electrician before they wire the room. A fireplace fed from a switched outlet can lose power to its module when the switch is turned off, which leads to confusing faults later. The wiring plan is recorded, so future service knows how the unit is fed.
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 people ask about new gas fireplaces
Who arranges the appliance shutoff valve for a new fireplace?
The gas contractor fits the shutoff valve as part of the supply work, or it is arranged with the utility. We agree its position with them so it stays reachable after the finish. On vented decorative units it may be a remote valve that is permanently identified.
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.
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.
