Planning a gas fireplace for your Delaney Park home
Written by the family-owned team that installs gas fireplaces across Delaney Park.
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.
Flooring right up to the fireplace
Some gas fireplaces allow ordinary flooring right up to the front. The Novus drawing notes that combustible flooring may be installed next to the front of the appliance, while the unit itself must sit on a hard metal or wood base.
Rules differ between models, so we read the manual for yours before the flooring installer arrives. Knowing it early saves cutting in a hearth that was never required, or leaving one out that was.
A lesson in the controls on day one
Remotes, wall switches, thermostats and manual valves vary between models, and some fireplaces offer several of them at once. A fireplace nobody is comfortable operating tends to sit unused.
Before our crew leaves, you light the fireplace yourself, raise and lower the flame, try the fan where one is fitted and shut the unit down at its valve. Remotes are paired and set, and the owner's manual stays beside the fireplace.

Before you add a gas fireplace in Delaney Park
Answers from the family-owned team that installs gas fireplaces in Delaney Park.
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 a wood mantel go above a gas fireplace?
Yes, at the height the manual's mantel chart requires for its depth. Deeper mantels sit higher. We check your mantel against the chart before the framing is set.
