Installing a gas fireplace in South Apopka, explained
Worth a read before you approve a gas fireplace project in South Apopka.
Height above the ground or deck
A vent cap needs height above whatever is under it. Novus asks for at least twelve inches between the cap and the ground, a veranda, a porch, a deck or a balcony below it.
Planting beds, raised patios and future decks all count. We measure from the finished grade or deck surface, and if you are planning to raise the ground or build a deck later, tell us so the cap goes high enough now.
Sediment traps and gas fireplaces
Most gas appliances need a sediment trap in the supply just before the unit. Section 408.4 of Florida's Fuel Gas Code lists exceptions, and gas fireplaces and decorative vented appliances for vented fireplaces are among the appliances that need not be so equipped.
It is a small detail that shows how specific the code is about each appliance type. We follow the requirement that applies to your fireplace instead of copying the fittings from a water heater or a furnace.
A media wall with a fireplace and a TV
Media walls put the fireplace and the TV in one built surface. Heat & Glo publishes good-faith guidelines for TVs above its gas fireplaces, and says they do not guarantee compliance with every TV maker's maximum operating temperature, which should be checked at installation.
We plan the wall with both documents on the table: the fireplace's mantel and clearance rules and the TV's own temperature limit. Where the two disagree, we adjust the layout on paper, well before the wall is built.

Questions we hear in South Apopka about gas fireplaces
Straight answers with no sales script, as we give them in South Apopka homes.
Can the vent go under my covered patio?
Only where the manual allows. One maker permits a cap beneath a porch or deck only when the space under the floor is open on two or more sides, and never inside a screened porch. We check the space before choosing the route.
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.
