Planning a gas fireplace for your The Willows home
From the framing to the vent cap, this is how a gas fireplace is installed in The Willows homes.
Outside wall or inside wall
The wall you choose changes the vent. On an outside wall, a direct-vent fireplace can often vent straight out through the wall behind it. On an interior wall, the vent has to travel up and over, or up through the roof, within the limits of the vent table.
We show you both options at the inspection, with what each means for framing, the view from outside and the finish work. Sometimes a few feet along the same wall makes the vent much simpler.
Vertical vents through the roof
A vertical direct vent ends in a cap above the roof, with a minimum height that depends on the roof pitch. The Novus manual gives a table of heights for different pitches, and the vent maker supplies the roof flashing and storm collar.
Roof penetrations need care. The estimate names who seals the roof covering around the flashing, and we coordinate the order so the roof is weather-tight the same day it is opened.
A supply line sized for the load
Gas lines are sized for the total demand of every appliance on them and the length of the run. A fireplace added to an existing system adds to that load, and an undersized line shows up as low pressure when other appliances run.
The gas professional sizes the line to the fuel gas code, and we give them the fireplace's input from the rating plate. The result appears on your estimate as its own item.

Gas fireplace installation FAQs for The Willows
What The Willows homeowners ask before adding a gas fireplace, answered by our installers.
Who runs the gas line to the new fireplace?
A qualified gas professional runs and connects the supply. It is listed on its own estimate line with the name of whoever does it. Our team coordinates the timing with the framing and finish work.
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.
