Planning a gas fireplace for your Holden Heights home
Clear answers about gas fireplace installation in Holden Heights, from the crew that does the work.
Clearance between the vent and the framing
The vent pipe runs hot, so it keeps its distance from wood. For horizontal pipe, the Novus drawings show three inches of clearance above the pipe and one inch at its sides and bottom, with no combustible framing inside that zone.
We frame around the vent with those gaps built in and use the maker's firestops and shields where the pipe passes through walls and ceilings. The clearances stay open, with no insulation packed into them.
Too much pressure, too little pressure
Gas pressure has to sit inside a window. The Novus manual warns that high pressure may cause an overfire condition and damage the valve, calls for a regulator upstream of the valve if line pressure is above half a psig, and warns that low pressure can also create a hazard.
We compare the readings at the test ports with the rating plate on every installation. If either end is off, the fix happens before the fireplace goes into regular use.
The barrier screen stays on
Gas fireplace glass gets hot enough to burn skin. The Novus manual says the appliance comes with an integral barrier to prevent direct contact with the fixed glass, warns not to operate it with the barrier removed and asks owners to contact the dealer if the barrier is missing.
We fit or confirm the barrier before the first fire and explain why it stays in place, even when a bare glass front looks cleaner in a photo online.

Gas fireplace installation FAQs for Holden Heights
Your question not here? Our Holden Heights team will answer it on the phone.
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 does the Holden Heights consultation cost?
It costs nothing. Our installer looks at the room and the outside wall at your Holden Heights home, explains the options and follows up with a written estimate you can take your time over.
