A damper in the way
The old damper sits right where an insert's pipes need to pass. It cannot be left free to swing, so it is either taken out or pinned open, and a tight throat can mean trimming part of the frame. A plate left loose can drop onto the pipes over time, so leaving it as it was is not an option.
The damper and throat are looked at before the pipe route is planned, and what was done goes on the ticket. Old damper in a fireplace in Brentwood that is getting a gas insert? We check it free; call (904) 920-5495.

Co-linear venting, two liners side by side
A co-linear system uses two separate flexible liners inside the old flue: one brings outdoor air to the insert, the other carries exhaust away. One maker's kit uses a 3-inch liner for intake and a 4-inch liner for exhaust, both two-ply flexible liner approved for venting gas appliances.
At the bottom, an adapter joins them to the insert's collar; at the top, a co-linear termination kit and its flashing close the chimney. Co-linear kits are common in fireplace conversions because two small flexible liners get past a narrow throat more easily than one large rigid pipe.
Pressure relief doors stay closed
Some gas inserts have pressure relief doors, which let the firebox vent a sudden pressure rise. One maker warns that these doors must be kept closed while the appliance runs, because exhaust containing carbon monoxide could otherwise enter the home, and the hot gases could overheat nearby materials.
On install day we check that relief doors seat properly and show you what they look like, so no one props one open or removes it. A relief door that will not stay closed is a reason to shut the insert off and call for service. They are part of the design, not a loose panel.
Inspection before use and every year
Yearly inspection by a qualified service person is part of one insert maker's instructions, along with a check before first use. Burners, control compartments and circulating air passages are to be kept clean, and lint from carpets and pet hair can call for more frequent cleaning.
A yearly visit covers the termination at the chimney top, the liner connection, the burner and pilot, the logs, the glass seal and the barrier. We can set that schedule up when the insert is installed, and each visit is recorded on the ticket. Lint from pets and rugs is a common reason the burner needs attention between visits.

Gas insert questions from Brentwood
Can my fireplace in Brentwood 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.
Who runs the gas line?
The gas trade does: a gas contractor, the gas company or your propane supplier. Their part is on the estimate with a date, and our hookup follows once gas reaches the valve.
