How a new gas fireplace comes together in Waterford Lakes
How our Waterford Lakes crew orders the work, and which decisions stay yours.
What the rating plate tells us
Every gas fireplace carries a rating plate, located in the control area. On the Heatilator Novus it lists the model, the gas type, the maximum and minimum input, and the pressures the unit needs. That manual also says the appliance is only for use with the gas type shown on the plate.
We read the plate before planning anything else. It decides the fuel connection, the pressure checks at startup and, with the manual, the vent system the fireplace can use.
Rear vent or top vent
Many direct-vent fireplaces can vent from the back or from the top. The Novus manual shows both, with rear-vent layouts that go straight through the wall behind the unit and top-vent layouts that rise before turning out or continuing up.
Rear venting keeps the run short on an outside wall. Top venting helps when the unit sits further in, or when the flame needs to sit higher than a rear pipe would allow. We pick the arrangement that suits your wall and the vent table, then frame for it.
The barrier screen stays on
Gas fireplace glass gets hot enough to burn skin. The Novus manual says the appliance comes with an integral barrier to prevent direct contact with the fixed glass, warns not to operate it with the barrier removed and asks owners to contact the dealer if the barrier is missing.
We fit or confirm the barrier before the first fire and explain why it stays in place, even when a bare glass front looks cleaner in a photo online.
