Gas fireplace details our Southport team never skips
Notes from our gas fireplace installers working in Southport.
What the fireplace sits on
The floor under a gas fireplace matters. Hearth & Home's Novus manual says to install the appliance on a hard metal or wood surface extending the full width and depth of the unit, and not directly on carpet, vinyl, tile or any combustible material other than wood.
On a slab or a finished floor, that usually means a wood platform built to the right height. We build it as part of the framing, so the fireplace sits level at the height you want to see the flame.
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.
Only approved parts and accessories
Fronts, doors, fans, remotes and vent pieces all come from approved lists. The Novus manual says the warranty is voided by installing any component part not approved by the maker, and Heat & Glo's manuals warn that non-listed accessories could create a safety hazard.
We order from the approved list for your model and keep the part numbers on your records. If you want to add a fan or a new front later, we check it against the same list first.

Questions we hear in Southport about gas fireplaces
Weighing up a new fireplace? Start here, then book the free visit in Southport.
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.
What if I smell gas after the fireplace is installed?
Leave the house straight away and phone 911 or the gas utility only after you are outdoors, lighting nothing and touching no switch or phone while still inside. Once the utility says the house is safe, our team will come back and check the installation.
