What our Lake Shore Village crew checks on a gas fireplace install
Notes from our gas fireplace installers working in Lake Shore Village.
Rear vent or top vent
Many direct-vent fireplaces can vent from the back or from the top. The Novus manual shows both, with rear-vent layouts that go straight through the wall behind the unit and top-vent layouts that rise before turning out or continuing up.
Rear venting keeps the run short on an outside wall. Top venting helps when the unit sits further in, or when the flame needs to sit higher than a rear pipe would allow. We pick the arrangement that suits your wall and the vent table, then frame for it.
The gas meter and regulator
The gas meter and its regulator often sit on an outside wall, sometimes close to where a fireplace vent would go. The Novus clearance table sets a minimum of three feet in the U.S. from the cap to the service regulator's vent outlet.
We find the meter and regulator during the inspection and check the distance before choosing the cap location. It is a simple measurement that is easy to miss on a busy side of the house.
Checking every connection with solution
Fittings can loosen in shipping and handling, and the Novus manual says so. When the gas line is finished, every connection is tightened and tested with a store-bought, non-corrosive leak check solution, never a flame, and the solution is rinsed away after.
Our technician checks the maker's own fittings as well as the new ones, because a factory joint can work loose on the truck. Only then is the fireplace lit for the first time.

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.
Do I need an electrician for a gas fireplace?
Often, yes. Models with electronic ignition or a blower need power at their junction box, and a new circuit or outlet is electrical work done by an electrician. It appears separately on your estimate.
