Using the insert when the power is out

Storms that knock out power are exactly when a fireplace looks most useful, and gas inserts differ on whether they will light without house current. Some keep going on backup batteries with the fan off; others need power to run at all. Battery backups are cheap to keep stocked once you know the model uses them.

If staying warm in a blackout matters to you, that behavior is checked for the model before you buy it. Want a gas insert that works through a power cut in Jacksonville Beach? Ask about models at (904) 920-5495.

Hookups and first light
The gas and electrical hookups are made, then we light and test the insert with you.

Storm season and the termination in Jacksonville Beach

Storms between June 1 and November 30 bring wind that can loosen a chimney-top termination or pack debris into it. On the coast, that exposure is at its strongest.

After a storm, the insert in Jacksonville Beach stays off until the top has been checked.

Inserts made for masonry fireplaces

Not every gas insert may go into every fireplace. One maker's rating plate states that its insert is for installation into a vented noncombustible appliance only, meaning a masonry fireplace, and adds that it is not for use with solid fuel.

A factory-built metal fireplace has its own listing, and an insert may go into one only where both that fireplace's manual and the insert's manual allow it. We read the rating plates of both before planning anything, and when the answer is no, we say so on the first visit rather than after an order.

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.

The chimney-top termination near salt air

Salt near the coast settles on the co-linear termination and its flashing at the chimney top, and the aluminum liner below it is the part its maker already wants checked for corrosion.

For a coastal installation we lean toward stainless liners and parts where the kit offers them, and we look at the termination and its fasteners on every service visit. Corrosion found early is a small repair; found late, it can mean replacing the top of the vent system. The termination's own instructions list its fasteners, and those are what we use.

Before you switch to gas

Can my fireplace in Jacksonville Beach 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.

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.
