Planning a gas fireplace for your Kirkman South home
Written by the family-owned team that installs gas fireplaces across Kirkman South.
Electronic ignition and the TV circuit
A spark ignition sequence can put a brief blip on a nearby electrical circuit. Heat & Glo notes that its ignition may cause intermittent, non-damaging interference with a TV plugged into the same circuit, and recommends separate circuits for the fireplace and the TV.
With a media wall, the fireplace and the TV often sit a few feet apart. We raise the circuit question with the electrician early, so the screen does not flicker every time the fireplace lights.
Nothing flammable stored nearby
A fireplace is not the place for storage. The Novus manual warns against storing or using gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of the appliance, and against placing clothing or other flammable materials on or near it.
Closets and cabinets built beside a fireplace are handy, and they should hold books and games, never paint, fuel or aerosol cans. We mention it at the walkthrough, especially when storage is part of the media wall.
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.
