You don’t need an architect to install a gas fireplace, however if the installation requires the design and build of an enclosure or has a complex flue system, you will need to engage someone that’s qualified to help.
For most straightforward retrofit installations that have an existing cavity, you shouldn’t require an architect or draughtsperson. For multi-level buildings, renovations and new builds, you will need to engage an architect or draughtsperson to ensure the fireplace meets all installation requirements and building codes.
Escea offers a free Architectural Advisory service to help you or your design team with any installation questions you might have.
