What our Crown Point crew checks on a gas fireplace install
Worth a read before you approve a gas fireplace project in Crown Point.
Sealing gaps, firestops and holes
Small gaps around a fireplace let air slip in and out. The Novus manual says ceiling firestops should be caulked with high-temperature caulk, and gas line holes and other openings caulked or stuffed with unfaced insulation, to prevent drafts.
It also says not to pack insulation or other combustibles between the firestops around the vent. We seal what the manual says to seal, keep open what it says to keep open and check both before the finishes close them in.
Vertical vents through the roof
A vertical direct vent ends in a cap above the roof, with a minimum height that depends on the roof pitch. The Novus manual gives a table of heights for different pitches, and the vent maker supplies the roof flashing and storm collar.
Roof penetrations need care. The estimate names who seals the roof covering around the flashing, and we coordinate the order so the roof is weather-tight the same day it is opened.
Installed so the warranty stays valid
Manufacturer warranties depend on correct installation. The Novus manual lists actions that void its warranty, including installation other than as instructed, improper positioning of the logs or the glass door, and unapproved parts.
We install to the manual so the maker's warranty stays in force, and our workmanship warranty covers the work we perform. Between the two, you know who stands behind what. If a question about the fireplace itself comes up later, we help you work through the maker's warranty process.

Questions we hear in Crown Point about gas fireplaces
Straight answers with no sales script, as we give them in Crown Point homes.
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.
Can the vent go under my covered patio?
Only where the manual allows. One maker permits a cap beneath a porch or deck only when the space under the floor is open on two or more sides, and never inside a screened porch. We check the space before choosing the route.
