Gas insert or gas logs
A gas insert and a gas log set both put gas flames in a fireplace, but they work differently. A sealed insert heats the room and vents through its own pipes; a vented log set burns in the open firebox with the damper held open and is mostly for looks. Both put gas flames in the fireplace, but only one is sealed from the room.
We explain the trade-offs for your fireplace, heat, looks and venting, and price the one you choose. Deciding between a gas insert and gas logs in Brooklyn? Get both options explained free at (904) 920-5495.

Chimney height inland in Brooklyn
Co-linear liners have height limits, and chimneys in Brooklyn vary. One maker sets 10 to 40 feet of vertical liner.
We measure yours before recommending a kit.

Where co-linear liners may run
Placement rules for co-linear liners are narrow. One maker allows the co-linear portion only inside a solid-fuel-burning fireplace and its chimney, and rules out sharing a flue with a separate wood-burning appliance.
In other words, the liners use an existing wood fireplace and chimney as a chase, and the flue they occupy belongs to the insert alone. We check both conditions before planning a co-linear install, and a chimney with a wood stove on another flue gets a careful look at which flue the insert uses. The route is drawn on the estimate.
Mantel clearance above a gas insert
Heat rising from a gas insert reaches the wall and anything fixed to it. One maker's rating plate lists 12 inches from the top of the appliance, as the plate words it, to the underside of a combustible mantel that projects up to 3 inches, and refers to its installation manual for deeper mantels.
Deeper mantels need more height, following a chart in the manual. We measure your mantel's height and projection against the figures for your model before ordering, and a mantel that falls short means a different model, a raised mantel or a noncombustible one. The choice is made on paper first.
The barrier screen on a new insert
Inserts built to the 2015 revisions of the ANSI gas fireplace standards ship with a mesh guard for their glass. One insert plate makes fitting it mandatory and sends you back to the same maker when a guard is damaged.
We fit the barrier at installation and make sure it is seated before the first light. Any screen removed for service goes back on before the insert runs again. The glass behind it stays hot for some time after the flame is out, which is exactly when the barrier earns its place. The guard also comes off for glass cleaning, and it is put back before the next light.
Opening, flue and mantel on paper
- Chimney examined and cleaned before any gas appliance connects
- Surround sized to the face, with noncombustible finishes around it
- Gas supply by the gas trade, with pressures read at the valve
- Liner material chosen with future access in mind
Gas insert questions from Brooklyn
Can I keep my mantel?
Yes, when its height suits its depth under the insert's figures. Otherwise the choice is another model, a higher mantel or a noncombustible one, settled before ordering.
Does a gas insert need yearly service?
Yes. Makers want a yearly check of the insert and its venting by someone qualified, and we can put that on the calendar from the day it goes in.
