Yes you require a permit for new installations and additions.

[/pb_accordion_item][pb_accordion_item heading="What is the recommended service schedule for gas fireplaces?" icon="" tag="" ]

[/pb_accordion_item][pb_accordion_item heading="Should I clean or maintain my gas fireplace myself?" icon="" tag="" ]

Basic exterior and cosmetic cleaning is ok, but most manufacturers recommend an annual maintenance check by a certified professional.

[/pb_accordion_item][pb_accordion_item heading="If I already have a line for my barbeque and want to add a patio heater or garage heater can I use the same line?" icon="" tag="" ]

Yes, you can run it off the same line. However you should obtain a quote on this as there are restrictions for how much you can add to one line.

[/pb_accordion_item][pb_accordion_item heading="My fan doesn't come on when the fireplace lights, is this normal?" icon="" tag="" ]

Almost all fans run off a temperature sensor. This means your fan will not come on until the fireplace heats for 15 20 minutes. It will continue running until the fireplace cools up to 30 minutes or more.

[/pb_accordion_item][pb_accordion_item heading="Why is there a white film building up on the glass?" icon="" tag="" ]

This is a natural by-product of minerals from natural gas. Cleaning should be done once a year by a qualified technician.

[/pb_accordion_item][pb_accordion_item heading="Why is there soot build up on glass or logs?" icon="" tag="" ]

This means that the fuel-to-air ratio needs to be adjusted. There is likely incorrect log placement. If the logs have been moved, it might cause this problem.

[/pb_accordion_item][pb_accordion_item heading="Will my gas fireplace still operate during power outages?" icon="" tag="" ]

Yes. Your fireplace has a standing pilot that is run off its own millivolt generator therefore during power outages, your fireplace will still run. Fireplace fans will not operate because they run on 110 volts but your flames will.
