How a new gas fireplace comes together in Dover Shores East
What our Dover Shores East team covers at every gas fireplace consultation.
The valve and connector at the unit
Makers often supply the last few inches of the gas connection. The Novus manual describes a listed half-inch T-handle manual shutoff valve and a flexible gas connector attached to the control valve inlet, and says to check local codes before substituting either.
The incoming supply is piped into the valve compartment and connected there. We keep the maker's parts in place and coordinate the connection so the supply meets the valve squarely, without strain on the control.
Pressure testing without harming the valve
New gas piping is tested at pressures a fireplace valve cannot tolerate. The Novus manual says to disconnect the gas supply piping before testing at pressures above half a psig, and to close the manual shutoff valve before testing at half a psig or less.
We sequence the work with whoever tests the line, so the fireplace is protected during the test and connected afterwards. It is the kind of step that only causes trouble when it is skipped.
The smell of a new fireplace
New gas fireplaces give off an odor during their first hours of use as the paint cures and manufacturing oils burn off. One Heat & Glo owner's manual describes a break-in burn with windows open and several hours on high, and notes that finishing materials and adhesives around the unit can add to the smell.
We explain the break-in before we leave and suggest running it on a mild day with the windows open. Once it is done, the smell goes with it.

Before you add a gas fireplace in Dover Shores East
Answers from the family-owned team that installs gas fireplaces in Dover Shores East.
Who runs the gas line to the new fireplace?
A qualified gas professional runs and connects the supply. It is listed on its own estimate line with the name of whoever does it. Our team coordinates the timing with the framing and finish work.
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.
