Planning a gas fireplace for your Lake Avalon home
What our Lake Avalon team covers at every gas fireplace consultation.
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.
Hot glass and young children
Every gas fireplace manual carries the same message about children. The Novus manual warns that hot glass will cause burns, asks owners to keep children away and carefully supervise them in the same room as the appliance, and to alert both children and adults to the hazard of high temperatures.
For families, we talk through the room layout, the barrier and a safety gate before the first fire. The glass and surround stay hot after the flame goes out, and it helps to know that on day one.
Permits and inspections for a new fireplace
New gas appliances can require permits and inspections, and the rules depend on the address. Gas fireplace manuals tell installers to consult local building and fire officials, or the authorities having jurisdiction, about restrictions, installation inspection and permits.
We check what applies to your home instead of assuming. If a permit is needed, it is on the estimate and the inspection is part of the schedule, so the finished fireplace is signed off properly.

Lake Avalon homeowners ask about new gas fireplaces
What Lake Avalon homeowners ask before adding a gas fireplace, answered by our installers.
Can I put a TV above the new fireplace?
Often, with the right mantel and distances. We check the fireplace maker's guidance and the TV's own temperature limit and plan the wall before anything is built.
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.
