Before a gas fireplace goes into your Timberleaf wall
What our Timberleaf team covers at every gas fireplace consultation.
Level runs and pitched runs
Horizontal vent rules vary by maker. The Novus manual says horizontal runs do not require a vertical rise and may be installed level, while other systems can call for a set pitch on horizontal pipe.
We never apply one maker's rule to another's pipe. The pitch, or the lack of one, comes from the manual for your fireplace, and our installers check it with a level before the wall is closed.
Checking every connection with solution
Fittings can loosen in shipping and handling, and the Novus manual says so. When the gas line is finished, every connection is tightened and tested with a store-bought, non-corrosive leak check solution, never a flame, and the solution is rinsed away after.
Our technician checks the maker's own fittings as well as the new ones, because a factory joint can work loose on the truck. Only then is the fireplace lit for the first time.
Converting between natural gas and propane
Some fireplaces can be converted from one gas to the other. The Novus manual says any natural or propane gas conversion must be made by a qualified technician using the maker's specified and approved parts, and that the appliance must be compatible with the available gas.
A conversion is a job with its own kit, labels and startup checks. We never adjust a fireplace to run on a gas it was not set up for.

Gas fireplace installation FAQs for Timberleaf
What Timberleaf homeowners ask before adding a gas fireplace, answered by our installers.
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.
Do you handle the drywall and tile around the fireplace?
The estimate spells out the finish work and who does it. We build the framing and noncombustible zone to the manual and coordinate the facing, so the finishes go on without breaking a clearance.
