Does the insert fit the opening

Gas inserts are boxes of fixed size, and fireplaces are not. Openings narrow toward the back, lintels sit lower than they look and hearths rise at the front, so an insert that seems right in the showroom can fall short by half an inch on site. Splayed side walls are the usual surprise.

Tape measurements at the tightest points go on the estimate beside the maker's minimums, and the order waits until those numbers agree. Want to know whether a particular insert fits your Lake Asbury fireplace? Book a measuring visit at (904) 920-5495.

Heavy rain and the termination in Lake Asbury

Well inland, the June to November storms still bring heavy rain. A termination fitted as its instructions show keeps that water out of the liners.

We check it after installation and at each service.

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.

Restrictors and when they apply

Direct-vent systems sometimes use a restrictor, a plate that narrows the exhaust to balance the draft for a given vent height and length. One maker's co-linear sheet states that a restrictor is not required when using its co-linear venting.

Other vent layouts, such as tall co-axial runs, may call for one set to a position in the vent table. We follow the insert's own vent instructions on this point rather than a habit from another brand, and the ticket records whether a restrictor was fitted and at which setting. A restrictor fitted where the kit does not call for one can starve the flame, so this detail matters.

Finishes around the fireplace

The surround panels of an insert sit against the fireplace face, and what surrounds them matters too. One maker's co-linear venting sheet states that any finishes applied around the fireplace must be noncombustible.

Tile, stone and brick meet that rule; wood trim close to the opening usually does not. When the fireplace face is being updated at the same time as the insert goes in, we check the planned materials against the manual before the finisher starts, so the new face does not have to come off again. Wood trim can often move a few inches outward instead of coming off entirely.

Gas insert questions from Lake Asbury

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.

How soon can the insert be installed?

Once the chimney is cleaned, the insert and kit have arrived and gas is at the valve. Call (904) 920-5495 and we will lay out the dates for your Lake Asbury installation.
