Gas Wall Heater Installation Instructions

The following are some of the steps that the licensed gas fitters perform while installing Gas Wall Heaters at your property:

Step 1: Optimal Location Selection

Prior to initiating the installation process, an appropriate spot is carefully chosen for your gas wall heater. Factors such as room size, home layout, personal preferences, and existing gas connections should be considered. For optimal heat distribution, a central location is advised to distribute the heat evenly throughout the space. Sufficient clearance around the unit needs to be ensured in order to guarantee proper ventilation.

Step 2: Essential Tools and Materials

For a successful gas wall heater installation, the following tools and materials are needed:

• Gas wall heater unit
• Gas pipe
• Pipe fittings
• Venting materials (if necessary or needed)
• Screwdriver
• Wrench
• Drill
• Level
• Measuring tape

Step 3: Wall Preparation

Preparing the wall is vital before installing the gas wall heater. The precise location for mounting is marked using a level to ensure accuracy. After that, holes are drilled into the wall for the mounting brackets or screws as indicated.

Step 4: Gas Pipe and Fittings Installation

If an existing gas line is available, it can be used to connect the gas pipe from the source to the new gas wall heater. Alternatively, our licensed technician at DGB Refrigeration Heating & Cooling can create a secure and proper new connection. Given the complexity of gas line handling, professional expertise is crucial to prevent leaks or hazards. So, the new connections should always be done by licensed gas fitters.

Step 5: Secure Heater Mounting

After the gas pipe connection, the gas wall heater is mounted onto the prepared wall. Our gas fitter will proceed to install the Gas Wall Heater according to industry standards for proper bracket or screw installation. The heater will then be fastened to the wall to avoid accidents or damage.

Step 6: Venting Materials Connection (if needed)

Certain gas wall heaters require venting to expel combustion byproducts. If venting is necessary, our gas fitter will connect the venting materials with extreme care. Proper venting ensures safety and optimal gas wall heater functionality. If the byproducts are not expelled, this can pose a serious threat to the well-being of you and your loved ones.

Step 7: Testing and Calibration

Upon completing the installation, our certified gas fitter will conduct a test to confirm the proper operation of the gas wall heater and assess for any unusual sounds or odours. After that, you can adjust the thermostat and fan settings as needed to achieve your desired comfort level.
