Selling a house with a gas insert
Buyers and their inspectors ask what kind of insert is in the fireplace, how it vents and when it was last serviced. The rating plate, the manual and a record of the venting answer those questions quickly. A service record from the installer carries more weight than a verbal answer.
Our install paperwork lists the model, the venting kit, the pipe sizes and lengths, and the mantel distance we measured, which is the record a buyer's inspector asks to see. Selling a house in Green Cove Springs with a gas insert, or putting one in first? Call (904) 920-5495.

A chimney with two flues in Green Cove Springs
A chimney in Green Cove Springs with two flues needs sorting out first, since the gas insert gets a flue to itself.
We trace each flue first.

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.
One gas, set at the factory
Natural gas or propane is decided at the factory, and the rating plate says which. The orifices, pressures and sometimes the valve differ between the two, and a unit is converted only with its maker's conversion kit.
We confirm the gas at the house and the gas on the plate before the insert is delivered. Where a conversion is needed, the kit is ordered with the insert and fitted as its instructions say, with the conversion label applied. Running an insert on the wrong gas is not something to adjust around; it is corrected before first light.
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.
Opening, flue and mantel on paper
- Termination and flashing at the chimney top, with the top checked first
- Mantel height and projection measured against the plate
- Gas supply by the gas trade, with pressures read at the valve
- Liner material chosen with future access in mind
Gas insert questions from Green Cove Springs
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.
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.
