How a new gas fireplace comes together in New Malibu
What our New Malibu team covers at every gas fireplace consultation.
Supporting the vent run
Vent pipe needs support along its length so it does not sag or separate. In the Novus manual, horizontal sections are supported every five feet, and vertical sections every eight feet after a maximum unsupported rise of twenty-five feet, using the vent support or plumber's strap.
The same manual warns that the vent must not sag below its connection to the appliance. Our crew installs the supports as the run goes in, so the pipe keeps its line through the wall, the attic or the chase.
Wiring done before the wall is closed
Switch wiring, the junction box feed and any fan or light connections all sit behind the finished wall. Once the drywall and the facing go on, reaching them gets expensive.
We schedule the electrician and the control wiring while the framing is still open, test the connections and only then let the finishes close the wall. It keeps install day predictable and avoids opening a finished wall. A switch that tests fine before the drywall goes on is one nobody has to fish a wire to later.
Recording your fireplace's details
The Novus manual includes a homeowner reference section for the model name, serial number, date of purchase or installation, the dealer and notes, and says the model information is on the rating plate in the control area.
We fill that in with you and leave the manuals with the fireplace. When a part is needed years from now, the right model and serial number are on hand, and the next technician starts from facts.

New Malibu homeowners ask about new gas fireplaces
What New Malibu homeowners ask before adding a gas fireplace, answered by our installers.
Can a gas fireplace go in a bedroom?
It can when the model and room meet the Fuel Gas Code. Direct-vent units installed to their listing are an exception to the bedroom rule, and other vented fireplaces must meet a room volume test. We check both for your room.
Does a gas fireplace need yearly service?
Makers recommend it. A yearly visit from a qualified technician covers the glass gasket, logs, burner, controls and vent cap. We can schedule it ahead of the cooler months.
