Before a gas fireplace goes into your Clear Lake wall
Written by the family-owned team that installs gas fireplaces across Clear Lake.
Standoffs and the space around the unit
Factory-built gas fireplaces have standoffs that hold framing at the right distance, including a top standoff on the Novus. The manual then adds minimum clearances from the appliance and the vent pipe to combustible materials, often an inch or less, which are easy to lose during framing.
Our framers work from the manual's drawings, keep studs and headers out of the clearance zones and leave the standoffs doing their job. A clearance lost behind drywall is hard to find later.
Supporting the vent run
Vent pipe needs support along its length so it does not sag or separate. In the Novus manual, horizontal sections are supported every five feet, and vertical sections every eight feet after a maximum unsupported rise of twenty-five feet, using the vent support or plumber's strap.
The same manual warns that the vent must not sag below its connection to the appliance. Our crew installs the supports as the run goes in, so the pipe keeps its line through the wall, the attic or the chase.
Air intakes near the vent cap
A vent cap placed beside an air intake can feed exhaust straight back indoors. The Novus table sets a minimum distance from the cap to a non-mechanical air supply inlet or another appliance's combustion air inlet, and a larger one, three feet in the U.S., to a mechanical air supply inlet.
Fresh-air intakes for ventilation systems and other appliance vents are the ones to watch. We locate them from outside before marking the cap position.

Clear Lake homeowners ask about new gas fireplaces
Answers from the family-owned team that installs gas fireplaces in Clear Lake.
Do I need an electrician for a gas fireplace?
Often, yes. Models with electronic ignition or a blower need power at their junction box, and a new circuit or outlet is electrical work done by an electrician. It appears separately on your estimate.
Can I use the 72-hour discount on a new fireplace?
You can. A new gas fireplace installation booked within 72 hours after your free inspection is 10% off. Mention it on the phone and the saving is written into your estimate.
