Fireplace and venting
The fireplace or insert must suit the planned opening and an approved venting arrangement. The maker's instructions set the requirements.

Gas Fireplace & Firelog Installation in Panama City
Appliance Doctor installs gas fireplaces and natural-gas or LP firelogs for homes in Northwest Florida. We review the appliance, fuel source, venting, gas supply, and site before the work begins.
Fireplaces & firelogs
A gas fireplace set up the right way.
Our dedicated gas team sells and installs gas fireplaces and firelogs for home applications, and can also service fireplace systems. We handle the gas side of the job, including the supply that serves the appliance.
Each project starts with the specific fireplace or firelog, the fuel available at your property, and the maker's installation instructions.

Gas safety
Smell gas? Leave immediately.
If you smell the rotten-egg odor of natural gas, or otherwise suspect a gas leak, leave the area immediately and get to a safe location.
Do not try to find or stop the leak. Do not use matches, lighters, electrical switches, phones, or anything else that could create a spark while you are near the suspected leak.
Once you are safely away from the area, call 911 or your local gas utility. Do not return until emergency personnel or the gas utility says it is safe.
Do not use our website or service-request form to report an active or suspected gas leak.
What we review
What we check before installation
Natural gas or propane
A gas appliance must be approved for the fuel it will burn. Natural gas and propane appliances are not interchangeable. See our natural gas vs. propane guide.
Gas supply and connection
We look at the existing gas piping, the distance to the appliance, and the demand of everything on the line. Where new piping is needed, see gas piping installation.
Permits, inspection and code rules
Permit and inspection needs depend on the job and local rules. We confirm them as part of the project scope.

Questions
Gas Fireplace Installation questions
Do you install gas fireplaces and firelogs?
Yes. Appliance Doctor sells and installs gas fireplaces and natural-gas or LP firelogs for home applications.
Can I use a natural gas fireplace on propane?
Not automatically. A gas appliance must be approved for its fuel, and conversion depends on the maker's instructions and the specific model. Send us the model before you buy or convert anything.
Can you run a new gas line to the fireplace?
Gas piping is part of our gas team's work. We review the route, line size, and total demand for your property before recommending a plan.
Do you service existing gas fireplaces?
We can service fireplace systems. Send us the make, model, and a description of the problem and we will confirm what we can do.
Is a permit required?
Permit and inspection requirements depend on the project and local rules. We review them as part of the job scope.
Planning a gas fireplace?
Tell us what you are planning and where it will go. We review gas project requests during normal business hours (Monday–Friday, 8 AM–4 PM) and reply within one business day.
