Planning a gas fireplace for your Mills 50 home
What our Mills 50 team covers at every gas fireplace consultation.
Vents through ceilings and attics
A vertical vent passes through ceilings on its way to the roof. The Novus manual frames a ten-inch square opening with a firestop wherever the vent crosses a ceiling or floor, and calls for an attic insulation shield where the pipe runs through an insulated attic.
It warns in plain terms that insulation or other material against the vent pipe may cause fire. We install the firestops and shields the manual names and look at the attic side of every penetration before we leave.
Service panels that come off easily
A gas fireplace needs servicing, and the parts that come off for it have to stay removable. For decorative vented gas fireplaces, section 604.2 of Florida's Fuel Gas Code says panels, grilles and access doors required to be removed for normal servicing shall not be attached to the building.
In practice, that means tile, trim and cabinetry stop at the fireplace's own panels. We point out the service openings to your finish carpenter and tile setter, so nobody caulks or nails them shut.
What happens at startup
Startup is where the installation proves itself. Our technician checks the connections with leak solution, reads the inlet and manifold pressures at the test ports against the rating plate, confirms the logs match the diagram and the barrier is in place, then lights the fireplace and watches the flame warm up.
Only when the pressures, the flame and the controls all behave as the manual describes do we call the fireplace ready. You are welcome to watch the whole sequence.

Your question not here? Our Mills 50 team will answer it on the phone.
Can you install a gas fireplace I ordered myself?
Usually, provided the model suits the room and the outside wall. Share the model number when you book, and the installer checks its framing and vent requirements before the visit. If it will not work, you know before anything is cut.
Why does the new fireplace smell at first?
The paint and materials cure during the first hours of use, and that gives off an odor. Makers describe a break-in burn with the windows open. The smell fades once the curing is done.
