Installing a gas fireplace in Milk District, explained
What our Milk District specialists look at, and why it matters to the finished fireplace.
Reading the mantel chart
A combustible mantel above a gas fireplace has to sit high enough for its depth. The Novus manual gives a stepped chart, measured from the top of the hood: the deeper the mantel projects, the higher above the hood it must sit.
We measure the mantel you have or the one you plan and place it on that chart for your model. If a deep mantel would need to sit higher than your design allows, you hear it before the framing is set, along with the choices.
The clear zone in front of the glass
Heat travels forward from a gas fireplace. The Novus clearance drawing shows a combustible object distance of thirty-six inches in front of the unit, and its warnings ask owners to keep clothing, furniture, draperies and other combustibles away.
Room layout is part of the plan. We mark the clear zone on the floor at the walkthrough, so a sofa, a rug or a holiday tree does not end up too close.
Working alongside a builder or remodeler
In a new home or a major remodel, the fireplace depends on other trades. Framing, the roof or wall opening, the gas line, the electrical rough-in and the finishes all have to arrive in order.
We give your builder the manual's framing dimensions, vent route and clearances early, and schedule our visits around the other trades. The fireplace then fits the house instead of the house being bent around the fireplace.

Quick answers on gas fireplace installs in Milk District
Straight answers with no sales script, as we give them in Milk District homes.
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.
Will a gas fireplace work when the power is out?
It depends on the ignition. Standing pilot models can usually still run, and some electronic ignition models include a battery pack. We explain how your model behaves before you choose it.
