How a new gas fireplace comes together in Stone Crest
How our Stone Crest crew orders the work, and which decisions stay yours.
Framing built to the manual's chart
A built-in gas fireplace sits in a framed opening sized by its maker. The Novus manual gives a rough opening width, height and depth for each model, and notes that if the framed cavity will be finished inside, the framing dimensions must include the finished surface.
We frame to those numbers, square and plumb, and check the opening against the unit before the drywall goes up. A cavity that is a little tight can force the fireplace out of position or crowd its clearances.
A shutoff valve in the same room
Florida's Fuel Gas Code, section 409.5.1, requires each appliance's shutoff valve to sit in the same room as the appliance, within six feet of it, upstream of its connector and with access provided. A valve inside a fireplace firebox follows the maker's instructions.
Built-in fireplaces often put the valve inside the unit's valve compartment. We show you where it is and how it turns, so you can shut the fireplace off without hunting for the valve.
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.

Gas fireplace installation FAQs for Stone Crest
What Stone Crest homeowners ask before adding a gas fireplace, answered by our installers.
Can I have a gas fireplace in Stone Crest without a chimney?
Yes. A direct-vent gas fireplace vents through its own pipe, out through a wall or up through the roof. We trace the route at the free inspection and show you where the cap would go.
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.
