Gas fireplace installation know-how for Bal Bay
Worth a read before you approve a gas fireplace project in Bal Bay.
What the rating plate tells us
Every gas fireplace carries a rating plate, located in the control area. On the Heatilator Novus it lists the model, the gas type, the maximum and minimum input, and the pressures the unit needs. That manual also says the appliance is only for use with the gas type shown on the plate.
We read the plate before planning anything else. It decides the fuel connection, the pressure checks at startup and, with the manual, the vent system the fireplace can use.
The vent table decides the route
Direct-vent systems are tested with specific combinations of vertical rise, horizontal run and elbows. The Novus manual says all vent configuration specifications must be followed, because the product is tested and listed to them and performance suffers otherwise.
We lay out the proposed route and check it against the table for your model before cutting any hole. If a route falls outside the table, it changes before installation day instead of after the fireplace refuses to run well.
Grounding and the electrical code
Gas fireplace manuals require the electrical side to meet the electrical code. Heat & Glo, for example, requires its fireplaces to be electrically wired and grounded to local codes or, where there are none, to the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.
Our crew does the fireplace work, and the electrician does the house wiring. Each shows up on its own line, so you know who is responsible for which connection.

Gas fireplace installation questions in Bal Bay
Plain answers from our fireplace team in Bal Bay. Anything else, give us a call.
Natural gas or propane, which should I choose?
Usually the fuel your home already has. If there is no natural gas service, propane from a tank works well. The fireplace must be built for, or converted with the maker's kit to, the fuel it will burn.
Can the vent go under my covered patio?
Only where the manual allows. One maker permits a cap beneath a porch or deck only when the space under the floor is open on two or more sides, and never inside a screened porch. We check the space before choosing the route.
