What our East Park crew checks on a gas fireplace install
Notes from our gas fireplace installers working in East Park.
What the fireplace sits on
The floor under a gas fireplace matters. Hearth & Home's Novus manual says to install the appliance on a hard metal or wood surface extending the full width and depth of the unit, and not directly on carpet, vinyl, tile or any combustible material other than wood.
On a slab or a finished floor, that usually means a wood platform built to the right height. We build it as part of the framing, so the fireplace sits level at the height you want to see the flame.
Vinyl siding and alcoves outside
Siding material and the shape of the wall both change the numbers. In the Novus table, a cap in an alcove needs more room from a vinyl sidewall than from other sidewalls, and much more room from a vinyl soffit or overhang than from other materials.
Vinyl softens with heat, so its clearances are generous. We note the siding and soffit material on the estimate and place the cap to the vinyl figures wherever vinyl is present.
Grounding and the electrical code
Gas fireplace manuals require the electrical side to meet the electrical code. Heat & Glo, for example, requires its fireplaces to be electrically wired and grounded to local codes or, where there are none, to the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.
Our crew does the fireplace work, and the electrician does the house wiring. Each shows up on its own line, so you know who is responsible for which connection.

Gas fireplace installation questions in East Park
Straight answers with no sales script, as we give them in East Park homes.
Natural gas or propane, which should I choose?
Usually the fuel your home already has. If there is no natural gas service, propane from a tank works well. The fireplace must be built for, or converted with the maker's kit to, the fuel it will burn.
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.
