Installing a gas fireplace in Callahan, explained
Worth a read before you approve a gas fireplace project in Callahan.
Level runs and pitched runs
Horizontal vent rules vary by maker. The Novus manual says horizontal runs do not require a vertical rise and may be installed level, while other systems can call for a set pitch on horizontal pipe.
We never apply one maker's rule to another's pipe. The pitch, or the lack of one, comes from the manual for your fireplace, and our installers check it with a level before the wall is closed.
Electronic ignition and the TV circuit
A spark ignition sequence can put a brief blip on a nearby electrical circuit. Heat & Glo notes that its ignition may cause intermittent, non-damaging interference with a TV plugged into the same circuit, and recommends separate circuits for the fireplace and the TV.
With a media wall, the fireplace and the TV often sit a few feet apart. We raise the circuit question with the electrician early, so the screen does not flicker every time the fireplace lights.
Side walls and mantel legs
Walls and mantel legs beside the opening have their own limits. The Novus manual sets a minimum distance from the side of the appliance to a perpendicular wall, a minimum from the fireplace opening to that wall, and a maximum depth for the projection.
Built-in shelving, stone columns and cabinet ends beside a fireplace all fall under those numbers. We check them on the plan, so a custom cabinet does not have to be rebuilt after it arrives.

Questions we hear in Callahan about gas fireplaces
Plain answers from our fireplace team in Callahan. Anything else, give us a call.
Why is there fog on the glass when I start it?
Burning gas produces moisture, and it can condense on cool glass until the fireplace warms up. In summer, glass cooled by air conditioning makes it more noticeable. It clears as the glass heats.
Will a gas fireplace work when the power is out?
It depends on the ignition. Standing pilot models can usually still run, and some electronic ignition models include a battery pack. We explain how your model behaves before you choose it.
