Before a gas fireplace goes into your South Semoran wall
From the framing to the vent cap, this is how a gas fireplace is installed in South Semoran homes.
Fixed windows near the cap
Even a window that never opens needs some room. The Novus table calls for twelve inches from a permanently closed window and notes that the distance is recommended to prevent condensation on the glass.
A foggy window above a vent cap is a nuisance you notice every cool morning. We check fixed panes, transoms and sidelights as carefully as windows that open. If a window sits too close, the cap moves or the route changes before any hole is cut.
Clearance from the electrical service
The electrical service entrance has its own clearance. The Novus table calls for six inches from the sides and twelve inches above the electrical service, and says the vent termination must not interfere with access to it.
Meters, disconnects and service panels on an outside wall are easy to spot, and we measure to them before placing the cap. Utility workers need to reach the service without working around a hot vent.
Glass assembly and hood fitted last
The fixed glass assembly and the hood above it close off the firebox and direct the heat. The Novus manual warns against operating the appliance with the glass assembly removed and shows the hood fitted above the glass panel and fastened in place.
Improper positioning of the glass door is another item on that manual's warranty list. We latch the glass as shown, fit the hood and check both before the startup, so the unit is sealed the way it was tested.

Your question not here? Our South Semoran team will answer it on the phone.
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.
Why is there fog on the glass when I start it?
Burning gas produces moisture, and it can condense on cool glass until the fireplace warms up. In summer, glass cooled by air conditioning makes it more noticeable. It clears as the glass heats.
