Gas Fireplace Installation in VA, DC, and MD

Site Assessment & Layout Review: We begin by evaluating your floor plan or blueprints, taking into account room size, furniture layout, wall structure, ceiling height, and airflow. This helps us determine the ideal placement for both safety and visual impact.

Model Selection Guidance: Not sure which type of gas fireplace suits your space? We’ll walk you through the differences between vented, vent-free, and direct-vent models—explaining how each impacts efficiency, safety, and installation requirements. Our goal is to match your aesthetic vision with practical functionality.

Precise Sizing & Heat Output Calculations: A fireplace that's too powerful can overheat the room, while one that’s underpowered won’t provide enough warmth. We calculate the proper BTU rating based on square footage, insulation, window exposure, and intended use to ensure optimal comfort.

Gas Line Installation or Extension: Whether you already have gas service or need a new connection, we safely install or extend natural gas or propane lines to reach your fireplace. We follow strict safety protocols, obtain required permits, and pressure-test every connection for peace of mind.

Firebox Framing & Surround Prep: Working alongside your general contractor or remodeling team, we help coordinate the build-out for your firebox, chase wall, or custom surround. We ensure clearances, ventilation requirements, and fire-rated materials are all addressed during construction.

Venting Design & Termination: If your fireplace requires venting, we route the appropriate piping—whether horizontal, vertical, or through a chase—and ensure proper clearances to combustible materials. We also handle termination kits, flashing, and weatherproofing for exterior vent outlets.

Appliance Hookup & Leak Testing: Once framing and piping are complete, we connect the fireplace, test for leaks, verify proper pressure, and confirm correct operation. We also test ignition systems and safety sensors to ensure everything is functioning flawlessly.

Final Inspection & Code Sign-Off: Our licensed Master Gasfitters prepare all required documentation, coordinate with local inspectors, and remain on-site during final walk-throughs when needed. Your fireplace won’t just look great—it will meet or exceed every local safety and building code.
