One of the most frequent questions that potential clients ask us is, “Can you install a gas fireplace yourself?” In short, there are several reasons why we would not recommend doing so yourself; keep reading to learn more.
State Rules & Regulations
As you might imagine, the rules and regulations surrounding fireplace installation and gas line work vary from state to state. In some cases, they differ from city to city or county to county. Most people do not have the time, energy, or expertise to familiarize themselves with all of the state, city, and county regulations involved with this kind of work.
When it comes to the rules and regulations involving gas lines, it is best to hire an expert, such as those at Chimney.com. We are already familiar with all laws and can ensure that you will not run afoul of any legal issues during your gas fireplace installation.
Installation Expertise
In addition to all the legal aspects involved with installing a new gas fireplace, another essential factor to consider is the safety issues involved in turning this into a DIY project.
Gas lines are extremely dangerous when improperly handled, and a mistake could result in injury or death. That’s why it’s critical to realize the value of working with a trusted professional when you consider installing a gas fireplace in your home.
Additional Risks
Unless you are already an expert in fireplace installation, you may make a mistake during the measurement or construction process and very possibly underestimate the cost of completing the entire project.
In short, whether it comes to having a new gas fireplace installed or even having yours repaired or maintained, your best bet is to let a trusted professional help you complete your project.
