Gas fireplace details our Colonial Town Center team never skips
What our Colonial Town Center specialists look at, and why it matters to the finished fireplace.
Natural gas or propane for a new fireplace
Gas fireplaces are built for natural gas or propane, and the rating plate says which. A home on a natural gas service can usually run a line to the fireplace. A home without it can use propane, supplied from its own tank.
We confirm what fuel your home has at the inspection and choose a model built for it. If you plan to switch fuels later, we check whether the model offers a conversion kit before you buy.
Glass assembly and hood fitted last
The fixed glass assembly and the hood above it close off the firebox and direct the heat. The Novus manual warns against operating the appliance with the glass assembly removed and shows the hood fitted above the glass panel and fastened in place.
Improper positioning of the glass door is another item on that manual's warranty list. We latch the glass as shown, fit the hood and check both before the startup, so the unit is sealed the way it was tested.
A full gas fireplace, an insert or a log set
Three gas projects often get confused. A gas log set goes into an existing wood-burning fireplace. A gas insert is a sealed unit that fits inside an existing fireplace and vents through its chimney. A gas fireplace is a complete appliance with its own firebox and vent, installed where you choose.
A complete gas fireplace suits a room with no fireplace, or one where the old unit is coming out. If you already have a working fireplace, an insert or a log set may suit it better, and we will tell you which at the free inspection.

Gas fireplace installation questions in Colonial Town Center
Plain answers from our fireplace team in Colonial Town Center. Anything else, give us a call.
How long does a gas fireplace installation take?
It depends on the framing, the vent route and the other trades involved. A replacement into a ready opening can be quick, while a new wall with a roof vent takes several visits. Your estimate lays out the sequence.
What if I smell gas after the fireplace is installed?
Leave the house straight away and phone 911 or the gas utility only after you are outdoors, lighting nothing and touching no switch or phone while still inside. Once the utility says the house is safe, our team will come back and check the installation.
