Install/Maintain/Repair

Installing a natural gas appliance can be simple and easy with the right planning. We have several ways to assist with getting the comfort of natural gas into your home. First, our installations team is qualified and ready to assist you with piping and/or venting your appliance. While planning the placement of your natural gas appliance, here are a few installation guidelines to consider:

Fireplace

The new ventless fireplaces offer many location options when installing, however there are still some requirements to follow for installation of any fireplace. Specific questions on installation of vented or ventless fireplaces should be answered according to the manufacture's instructions and the Southern Builders Code.

Water Heater

According to the Standard Gas Code, the following requirements should be followed when installing a water heater:

  • Installation should be at least 18 inches above the floor
  • The water heater cannot be installed inside a bedroom or bath, however it may be enclosed in a closet if properly ventilated and installed according to the Standard Gas Code.

Furnace

Proper ventilation is required when installing a furnace. According to the Standard Mechanical Code, here are a few requirements that should be followed when installing a furnace:

  • The furnace must be enclosed,
  • The combustion air must come from the outside, and
  • The combustion air and the return air must be separated.

Natural Gas Meter

In accordance with the Fire and Safety Codes, we can not set a meter in the following locations:

  • Under a window,
  • Within three feet of a window,
  • Within three feet of any electrical service (or the electric meter), or
  • Within three feet of an air conditioner.
