From the appliance collar to the termination cap
Clearances around a direct-vent wall termination
Through-the-wall terminations have their own clearance table in the fuel gas code, which separates direct-vent terminals from others. Appliance manuals add their own figures for features such as soffits, inside corners, meters and walkways.
We measure an existing wall termination against both and use the stricter figure where they differ. The results are written on your record. If a clearance is not met, we explain which feature is too close and whether the termination, or the feature, is the more practical thing to move.
The discount on vent work after your inspection
Vent repairs, like any other service we quote, come with a 10% discount when you give the go-ahead no later than 72 hours after your free inspection. The clock starts at your own inspection rather than a date on a calendar.
That gives you time to read the estimate, check the parts and ask questions without pressure. The reduced price is shown in writing on the estimate. If you approve after the window, the scope and the work stay the same, and only the price changes.
Booking a gas vent visit in Biscayne Gardens
When you call, we ask for the appliance model if you have it and where the termination is. We also ask whether the vent goes through the roof or a wall, and what you have noticed. Those answers tell us which instructions to bring and whether roof or attic access will be needed.
We then agree a time for the free inspection. If what you describe means the fireplace should stay off, we say so on the call. When the schedule allows, same-day service is available, and we tell you plainly on the days it is not.
Insert liners belong to the insert service
A gas insert placed in an existing fireplace vents through liners that run up the chimney to a termination at the top. Those liners are part of the insert's listed system and are handled under our gas fireplace insert installation service.
If your appliance is an insert, tell us when booking. We still check the termination and any accessible parts during a vent visit, but liner replacement and relining are quoted under the insert service. That keeps the insert's own instructions in charge of the work.

What people ask about gas vents
Do you need to open the wall to repair a vent?
Sometimes. The manuals do not require inspection openings at joints inside walls, so concealed sections may need an access opening. We explain the access needed, and the wall restoration is listed as its own item before you approve.
Is a discount available on vent repairs?
Yes. Approve the vent work, or anything else we quote, during the 72 hours after your free inspection, and it comes with 10% off. The window starts from your own inspection and is written on the estimate.
What records do I get after vent work?
A written record of the work that lists the appliance, the vent maker and system, and the route. It also covers the parts replaced, the checks made and anything that stayed concealed or outside the scope.
