What our Winter Park crew checks on a gas fireplace install
Some of what our installers explain to Winter Park homeowners before any wall is opened.
Air intakes near the vent cap
A vent cap placed beside an air intake can feed exhaust straight back indoors. The Novus table sets a minimum distance from the cap to a non-mechanical air supply inlet or another appliance's combustion air inlet, and a larger one, three feet in the U.S., to a mechanical air supply inlet.
Fresh-air intakes for ventilation systems and other appliance vents are the ones to watch. We locate them from outside before marking the cap position.
The smell of a new fireplace
New gas fireplaces give off an odor during their first hours of use as the paint cures and manufacturing oils burn off. One Heat & Glo owner's manual describes a break-in burn with windows open and several hours on high, and notes that finishing materials and adhesives around the unit can add to the smell.
We explain the break-in before we leave and suggest running it on a mild day with the windows open. Once it is done, the smell goes with it.
A fit check before you buy
Buying a gas fireplace online and then looking for an installer can work, as long as the model suits your room. Framing dimensions, vent tables and clearances are all in the installation manual.
Send us the model number before you order. We read its manual, check your wall and the outside route at the free inspection and tell you whether it fits, or which model would. It takes a little reading on our side and can save you a return shipment.

Natural gas or propane, which should I choose?
Usually the fuel your home already has. If there is no natural gas service, propane from a tank works well. The fireplace must be built for, or converted with the maker's kit to, the fuel it will burn.
Why does the new fireplace smell at first?
The paint and materials cure during the first hours of use, and that gives off an odor. Makers describe a break-in burn with the windows open. The smell fades once the curing is done.
