The practical side of gas fireplace installation in Spring Lake
Written by the family-owned team that installs gas fireplaces across Spring Lake.
A new location or a replacement
Putting a gas fireplace where none exists is a different project from replacing one that is already there. A new location needs framing, a vent route, a gas supply and power planned from scratch. A replacement starts with what the old unit leaves behind.
We treat both as installations in their own right. For a replacement, the existing enclosure, vent and connections are checked against the new model rather than assumed to suit it. For a new location, we map the whole route before you pick a unit.
Framing the hole through the wall
Where the vent passes through an outside wall, the opening is framed to the size the manual gives. The Novus manual says a hole through a combustible wall must be framed with a wall shield firestop, which keeps the clearances and limits cold air infiltration, and its heat shields must overlap by at least an inch and a half.
We cut and frame the opening from inside and out, fit the shield and the termination cap and seal the cap to the siding or stucco. The outside finish is left weather-tight and neat.
Valve settings stay as the factory set them
Gas valves on fireplaces come preset. The Novus manual warns not to change the valve settings, because the valve is set at the factory and changing it may result in a fire hazard or injury.
Flame height and appearance are adjusted in the ways the maker allows, such as the controls, the air shutter where fitted and log placement. The valve itself is left as the factory set it. If the flame still looks wrong, the cause is traced to the pressure, the logs or the burner, which is where the fix belongs.

Gas fireplace installation FAQs for Spring Lake
Your question not here? Our Spring Lake team will answer it on the phone.
How long does a gas fireplace installation take?
It depends on the framing, the vent route and the other trades involved. A replacement into a ready opening can be quick, while a new wall with a roof vent takes several visits. Your estimate lays out the sequence.
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.
