Gas inserts and TVs above the fireplace
A TV over the fireplace is a popular idea, and gas inserts warm the wall above them. A mantel between the insert and the screen reduces the heat that reaches it, and the TV maker's own temperature limits still apply. A deeper mantel shields more of the wall but needs more height above the insert.
We measure the space above the fireplace against the insert's mantel figures and tell you plainly what its manual says about the wall above. Mounting a TV over a new gas insert in Kings Ferry? Get the clearances checked at (904) 920-5495.

How gas insert installation runs
-
Measure against the plate
Opening, flue and mantel are checked against the insert's rating plate and manual.
-
Clean and check the chimney
The old flue is cleaned, examined and repaired if needed before the liners go up.
-
Liners, insert, surround
The vent kit runs to its termination, the insert is set and the surround fitted.
-
Hookups and first light
The gas and electrical hookups are made, then we light and test the insert with you.
Factory-built fireplaces inland
A metal fireplace in Kings Ferry can take a gas insert only where both manuals allow it, and some inserts are for masonry only.
The rating plates settle it.

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.
Gas pressure at the valve
Every gas insert's rating plate lists the supply pressures its valve needs. One maker's plate gives a minimum of 4.5 and a maximum of 7 inches of water column for natural gas, and 11 to 13 for propane, with manifold pressures set lower.
The gas contractor or propane supplier sizes the piping to deliver that range, and once the supply is at the valve, we connect the insert, leak test every joint we made and read the pressures at the valve's test ports with the burner running. The readings go on the ticket. Pressures outside the plate's range are corrected before the insert runs for any length of time.
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.
Measured in Kings Ferry before a gas insert is ordered
- Fireplace opening width, height and depth against the insert's plate
- Co-linear or co-axial kit chosen from the insert's manual
- Gas supply by the gas trade, with pressures read at the valve
- Liner material chosen with future access in mind
Before you switch to gas
Will the insert work in a power outage?
Some models light and adjust on batteries while the blower stays off; others need house power. We check the model you are considering before you buy.
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.
