Planning a gas fireplace for your Colonialtown South home
What our Colonialtown South team covers at every gas fireplace consultation.
Soffits and roof overhangs above the cap
Roof overhangs sit right where a wall vent wants to go. The Novus table gives separate minimums for a ventilated soffit and an unventilated one above the cap, and a larger clearance again for vinyl soffit material, which the heat can distort.
Many homes have vented soffits all the way around. We measure the height from the planned cap to the soffit and check the soffit material, so the cap goes where the table allows it.
The gas line has its own line on the estimate
Running gas to a new fireplace is specialist work. The Novus manual says the supply line should be installed to local building codes, or ANSI Z223.1 where there are none, by a qualified installer approved as the locality requires.
Your estimate lists the gas supply as a separate item and names who will do it. Our team plans the route and the timing with that professional, so the line is in place and checked before the fireplace is finished in.
Wall switches and thermostats
Control options include a wall switch, a wall thermostat, a remote or a combination. The Novus manual says a thermostat on a standing pilot unit must suit a millivolt gas valve, and that low-resistance wire should run from the ignition system to the switch or thermostat, kept as short as possible.
It also says low voltage and 110 volt wiring cannot share the same wall box. We plan the switch location and the wire route with the framing, so the controls end up where you want them and wired as the manual shows.

Colonialtown South homeowners ask about new gas fireplaces
Your question not here? Our Colonialtown South team will answer it on the phone.
Why does the new fireplace smell at first?
The paint and materials cure during the first hours of use, and that gives off an odor. Makers describe a break-in burn with the windows open. The smell fades once the curing is done.
What is the difference between a gas insert and a gas fireplace?
An insert fits inside an existing fireplace and vents through its chimney. A gas fireplace is a complete unit with its own firebox and vent, installed where you choose. We help you decide which suits your home.
