What our Christmas crew checks on a gas fireplace install
Worth a read before you approve a gas fireplace project in Christmas.
Framing built to the manual's chart
A built-in gas fireplace sits in a framed opening sized by its maker. The Novus manual gives a rough opening width, height and depth for each model, and notes that if the framed cavity will be finished inside, the framing dimensions must include the finished surface.
We frame to those numbers, square and plumb, and check the opening against the unit before the drywall goes up. A cavity that is a little tight can force the fireplace out of position or crowd its clearances.
More than one vent cap on a wall
Homes with two gas fireplaces, or a fireplace beside another direct-vent appliance, can end up with caps near each other. The Novus manual sets minimum vertical and horizontal distances between two horizontal termination caps. Both the vertical and the horizontal spacing count.
We map every existing vent on the wall before adding another. Keeping the caps apart keeps each appliance breathing its own air. Where a water heater, furnace or second fireplace already vents through the wall, we measure to its cap as well.
When a location will not work
Not every wall can take a gas fireplace. A cap that cannot meet the clearance table, a vent route longer than the table allows or a room that fails the location rules can each rule out a spot.
When that happens, we tell you plainly and look for another position or another model. We would rather move the fireplace a few feet on paper than install it somewhere it does not belong.

Gas fireplace installation questions in Christmas
Straight answers with no sales script, as we give them in Christmas homes.
Can a gas fireplace go in a bedroom?
It can when the model and room meet the Fuel Gas Code. Direct-vent units installed to their listing are an exception to the bedroom rule, and other vented fireplaces must meet a room volume test. We check both for your room.
Do I need a hearth in front of a gas fireplace?
It depends on the model. Some allow flooring right up to the front, while others set hearth requirements. We read your model's manual before the flooring is planned.
