Gas fireplace installation know-how for Andover Lakes
What our Andover Lakes specialists look at, and why it matters to the finished fireplace.
Where the gas line enters the unit
Gas reaches a built-in fireplace through a knockout in its outer shell. The Novus manual lets the line enter from either side, limits the hole in the outer shell to two and a half inches and says it must never penetrate the firebox.
The gap around the pipe is sealed with high-temperature caulk or non-combustible unfaced insulation, and the line must not touch the outer wrap. We plan the entry side before framing, so the supply arrives where the manual wants it.
Noncombustible framing near the front
The area right around the opening gets the most heat. The Novus manual warns that framing or finishing material used on the front of, or in front of, the appliance closer than the listed minimums must be built entirely of noncombustible materials, giving steel studs and concrete board as examples.
That is why a fireplace wall often has a steel-stud and cement-board section around the unit. We build that zone to the manual, then hand it to the tile or stone setter with the clearances already correct.
Keeping the house clean during the work
Fireplace installations involve framing, drywall and pipe cutting inside a lived-in home. Dust travels if nobody contains it, and drywall dust settles far from the room it came from.
Our crew protects floors from the door to the work area, contains the dust where the wall is open and cleans up at the end of each day. The walkthrough happens in a clean room. Leftover lumber, packaging and old parts leave with us.

Questions we hear in Andover Lakes about gas fireplaces
Straight answers with no sales script, as we give them in Andover Lakes homes.
Can you install a gas fireplace I ordered myself?
Usually, provided the model suits the room and the outside wall. Share the model number when you book, and the installer checks its framing and vent requirements before the visit. If it will not work, you know before anything is cut.
Can a wood mantel go above a gas fireplace?
Yes, at the height the manual's mantel chart requires for its depth. Deeper mantels sit higher. We check your mantel against the chart before the framing is set.
