A carbon monoxide alarm near the insert

Carbon monoxide comes with burning gas, and a sealed insert is built to send all of it outside. An alarm in the room still makes sense as a backstop, and one insert maker suggests one alongside yearly service. Headaches, dizziness or nausea while the insert runs mean everyone leaves the house and 911 gets the call from the driveway.

We suggest a spot for the alarm on install day, and every later service visit checks the vent and the seal. Adding a gas insert to a home in Bayard with no CO alarm near the fireplace? Mention it when you book at (904) 920-5495.

How our gas insert pros install an insert in Bayard

Measure against the plate
Opening, flue and mantel are checked against the insert's rating plate and manual.
Clean and check the chimney
The old flue is cleaned, examined and repaired if needed before the liners go up.
Liners, insert, surround
The vent kit runs to its termination, the insert is set and the surround fitted.
Hookups and first light
The gas and electrical hookups are made, then we light and test the insert with you.

Mantels over inland fireplaces

Mantels in Bayard homes come in every height and depth, and each insert's plate sets how close one may be.

We measure before you order.

Height and offset limits on co-linear liners

Height and offset limits come with every co-linear kit. One maker's sheet sets a minimum of 10 feet and a maximum of 40 feet of vertical liner, and allows offsets of up to 8 feet only where the liners stay at least 45 degrees from horizontal.

A chimney shorter than the minimum may not draw the exhaust well enough, and a long offset at a shallow angle can trap it. We measure the height and the route of your flue against the figures for your insert's kit, and a chimney outside them gets a different plan before anything is ordered.

What happens in a power cut

Outages affect gas inserts in different ways. One maker's system lets batteries in the receiver control the flame height and turn the insert on and off during an outage, while the blower and night light stay off until power returns.

Other models with standing pilots can light without house power at all, and some cannot run without it. If heat during an outage is part of why you want an insert, we check how the model behaves before you buy it, and show you where any backup batteries go on install day. Spare batteries kept in a drawer near the fireplace save a cold evening.

Nothing added to the flame area

Decorative glass, stones and extra embers are tempting additions to a gas insert, but one maker warns against adding any material that will come in contact with the flames other than what it supplied with the appliance.

Material that does not belong on the burner can disturb the flame, cause soot and crack the glass. We set the logs, embers and media exactly as the manual shows on install day, and if you want a different look, we check the maker's list of approved media for that model before anything is changed. Approved media swaps are a simple job when the list allows them.

Before you switch to gas

Can a gas insert go in a metal fireplace?

Some inserts are listed for masonry fireplaces only. Others may go into a factory-built unit whose own manual permits it, and we read both first.

How soon can the insert be installed?

Once the chimney is cleaned, the insert and kit have arrived and gas is at the valve. Call (904) 920-5495 and we will lay out the dates for your Bayard installation.
