The practical side of gas fireplace installation in Whisper Lakes

How our Whisper Lakes crew orders the work, and which decisions stay yours.

Counting elbows and diagonal runs

Elbows change how a vent run is counted. The Novus manual allows two 45 degree elbows in place of one 90, and explains that on a 45 degree run, one foot of diagonal counts as eight and a half inches of horizontal run and eight and a half inches of vertical rise.

Those details decide whether a route around a beam or a window is allowed. Our installers do the arithmetic on paper first and measure from the appliance's outer wrap, as the manual specifies, when the pipe goes in.

Electronic ignition and the TV circuit

A spark ignition sequence can put a brief blip on a nearby electrical circuit. Heat & Glo notes that its ignition may cause intermittent, non-damaging interference with a TV plugged into the same circuit, and recommends separate circuits for the fireplace and the TV.

With a media wall, the fireplace and the TV often sit a few feet apart. We raise the circuit question with the electrician early, so the screen does not flicker every time the fireplace lights.

Logs placed to the diagram

Gas fireplace logs are not decoration you arrange by eye. The Novus manual notes that the logs may be packed separately and installed in the field, and lists improper positioning of the logs among the actions that void the warranty.

Each log has a place on the diagram, and the flame pattern depends on it. Our installer sets the logs to the drawing, lights the fireplace and adjusts only as the manual allows until the flame looks right and the glass stays clean.

Gas fireplace installation FAQs for Whisper Lakes

What Whisper Lakes homeowners ask before adding a gas fireplace, answered by our installers.

Can a gas fireplace go in a bedroom?

It can when the model and room meet the Fuel Gas Code. Direct-vent units installed to their listing are an exception to the bedroom rule, and other vented fireplaces must meet a room volume test. We check both for your room.

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.
