Two pipes up the chimney
A direct-vent insert breathes and exhausts through the chimney without using the chimney itself. Two flexible pipes, one for fresh air coming down and one for exhaust going up, usually do the job inside an old masonry flue, joined to the insert at the bottom and to a cap at the top.
The pipe lengths and route are measured before ordering, and the chimney top is checked because the cap sits there. Want to know what goes up your chimney with an insert in Mayport? Walk through it with us at (904) 920-5495.

Aluminum or stainless liners
Aluminum and stainless are the two flexible liner choices in co-linear kits. One maker wants aluminum liners looked at by a professional from time to time for corrosion and damage, and calls for stainless wherever the liners could not be reached again later.
A liner hidden behind a finished chimney or a sealed top is one that cannot easily be reached later, and that pushes the choice toward stainless. We decide with you on the visit, and the estimate names the material and why it was chosen. Where the top of the chimney stays open to inspection, aluminum can be a reasonable choice.
Pressure relief doors stay closed
Some gas inserts have pressure relief doors, which let the firebox vent a sudden pressure rise. One maker warns that these doors must be kept closed while the appliance runs, because exhaust containing carbon monoxide could otherwise enter the home, and the hot gases could overheat nearby materials.
On install day we check that relief doors seat properly and show you what they look like, so no one props one open or removes it. A relief door that will not stay closed is a reason to shut the insert off and call for service. They are part of the design, not a loose panel.
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 Mayport
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.
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.
