Power for the insert's blower

Plenty of wood inserts carry a blower that circulates room air around the steel box and out through the grille, and the blower plugs into an outlet near the fireplace. Where there is no outlet within reach, one has to be added before the insert can run its fan.

Adding an outlet is electrical work, done by an electrician, and the estimate names that part of the job separately so the install day runs in order. Want an insert with a blower in Arlington? Plan the power with us at (904) 920-5495.

Draft on an inland chimney in Arlington

Well back from the coast, an insert's performance comes down to the chimney: its height and the liner size. One maker sets a 15-foot minimum height for its model.

We measure the chimney in Arlington before recommending a unit.

Stainless liners and the UL 1777 listing

Chimney liners are tested and listed under UL 1777, and an insert liner should carry that listing for its use. For an insert in a factory-built fireplace, one maker requires the full-length stainless liner to meet the Type HT rating, tested to 2,100 degrees Fahrenheit, and to be fixed at both the collar and the chimney top.

We order liners by listing, diameter and length, and the liner's own instructions set its bend limits, its insulation where required and its fittings. The liner make and listing go on the ticket beside the insert's model, so anyone servicing it later knows what is in the flue.

Closing the top of the old flue

Above the chimney, a full liner ends in a top plate and a rain cap. One maker's instructions have the plate trimmed to fit the existing flue with an overlap of 1 to 1 1/2 inches on each side, seated firmly on the flue lining, screwed to the liner collar and sealed with RTV silicone.

The cap then goes on the end of the liner. The plate keeps rain and animals out of the space around the liner, and the cap keeps them out of the liner itself. Both are listed on the estimate with the liner, and a cracked flue top that the plate would sit on is noted before the work.

When the surround is sealed to the face

Sealing the surround panels to the fireplace face is not automatic. One maker seals them when the insert draws its air from outdoors, and leaves them unsealed when it draws room air, so enough air reaches the fire through the fireplace cavity.

For a factory-built fireplace, the same maker requires the surround or the damper area around the liner to be sealed so room air does not enter the chimney cavity. We follow the manual of your model and your fireplace type rather than a habit, and the ticket notes how the surround was set so a later service visit leaves it the same way.

Wood insert questions from Arlington

Can I keep my mantel?

Often, if it clears the distance on the insert's label. When it does not, you pick a model with smaller clearances or rework the trim, and we measure before you order.

Do you sell the insert or only install it?

We install to the insert's listing, and the estimate spells out which parts we supply, from the liner to the cap. Call (904) 920-5495 and tell us whether you already have a model for the fireplace in Arlington.
