Power for the blower and ignition

Many gas inserts carry a fan and an electronic ignition that run on house current, so the insert plugs into an outlet tucked behind its surround. No outlet within reach means adding one first. A fan can also be left off the order if you would rather not add an outlet.

Adding an outlet is an electrician's job, and it appears separately on the estimate. We also explain what the model does during a power cut before you buy it. Planning power for a gas insert in Arlington? Talk it through at (904) 920-5495.

Arlington sits in Duval County. Arlington does not reach the coast.

Inserts made for masonry fireplaces

Not every gas insert may go into every fireplace. One maker's rating plate states that its insert is for installation into a vented noncombustible appliance only, meaning a masonry fireplace, and adds that it is not for use with solid fuel.

A factory-built metal fireplace has its own listing, and an insert may go into one only where both that fireplace's manual and the insert's manual allow it. We read the rating plates of both before planning anything, and when the answer is no, we say so on the first visit rather than after an order.

The old damper and the liner route

The fireplace throat, where the damper plate sits, is the gateway for the liners. The plate is taken out or pinned wide open so the liners pass freely, and on some fireplaces part of the damper frame has to be trimmed to give them room.

Removing or fixing the damper is part of the install, done after the chimney is cleaned and before the liners go up. We write down what was done to the damper on the ticket, since anyone who later pulls the insert out needs to know the fireplace was altered before lighting a wood fire in it.

The termination at the top

At the chimney top, a co-linear system ends in a termination listed for that vent kit, set in its own flashing over the old flue. The termination keeps intake and exhaust apart so the insert does not draw in its own exhaust.

We check the chimney top before ordering, since the termination and its flashing sit on it. A cracked or loose top is repaired first. Once installed, the termination is fixed as its instructions show, and the ticket records the kit used. A termination blocked by debris gets checked early on any later service call.

Gas insert questions from Arlington

Can my fireplace in Arlington take a gas insert?

It depends on the opening size, the flue and the mantel above it, measured against the insert's rating plate. We check all three on a free inspection before you choose a model.

What is co-linear venting?

Two flexible liners run up the old flue, one bringing outdoor air in and one taking exhaust out. They join the insert at the bottom and a termination at the top.
