Inserts and factory-built fireplaces

Metal, factory-built fireplaces raise a separate question. Some gas inserts are listed for masonry fireplaces only, and a factory-built unit's own manual may not allow an insert in it at all. The plate on a factory-built unit usually sits inside the opening or behind the lower grille, and it names the model we look up.

Both rating plates get read before anyone says yes, and a no is given on the first visit along with the options that remain. Factory-built fireplace at your Callahan house and wondering about gas? Check with us first at (904) 920-5495.

The opening the insert needs

Gas inserts list the smallest fireplace they fit. One maker's rating plate gives a minimum width of 28 5/8 inches, a height of 20 15/16 inches and a depth of 14 3/8 inches for its model.

Fireplaces taper toward the back and the top, so we measure at the narrowest points rather than only across the front. The measurements go on the estimate beside the figures for the model you like, and where one dimension falls short, we look for a model that fits rather than cutting into the fireplace to make room for it. A tape at the back corners tells more than one at the front.

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.

A carbon monoxide detector nearby

Exhaust from a direct-vent insert is designed to leave the house entirely, yet its maker still advises a CO detector in that room plus regular service.

A detector near the fireplace is a small cost next to what it protects against, and we point out a sensible spot when we install. If an alarm ever sounds or someone feels headachy or dizzy while the insert runs, everyone leaves the house, 911 is called from outside, and the insert stays off until it has been checked. We test the alarm's position with you rather than leaving it in a box.

Gas insert questions from Callahan

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.

Is the gas insert inspection free?

Yes. Measuring the opening, flue and mantel and writing the estimate are free, and the price you see is the price you pay. The installation comes 10% off when you book it in the three days after that visit.
