Gas insert or gas logs
A gas insert and a gas log set both put gas flames in a fireplace, but they work differently. A sealed insert heats the room and vents through its own pipes; a vented log set burns in the open firebox with the damper held open and is mostly for looks. Both put gas flames in the fireplace, but only one is sealed from the room.
We explain the trade-offs for your fireplace, heat, looks and venting, and price the one you choose. Deciding between a gas insert and gas logs in Murray Hill? Get both options explained free at (904) 920-5495.

From wood fireplace to gas insert in Murray Hill
-

Hookups and first light
The gas and electrical hookups are made, then we light and test the insert with you.
Mantels over inland fireplaces
Mantels in Murray Hill homes come in every height and depth, and each insert's plate sets how close one may be.
We measure before you order.

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.
Resealing after service
The intake and exhaust of a direct-vent insert form a sealed path from outdoors to the firebox and back. One maker warns that the vent-air intake system has to be properly reinstalled and resealed after any servicing.
When an insert is pulled forward for service, the liner connections at its adapter are the joints most at risk. We reconnect them as the instructions show, check each joint and run the insert with the glass latched before leaving. A service call that leaves a liner loose behind the surround is worse than no call at all.
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.

- Co-linear or co-axial kit chosen from the insert's manual

Gas insert questions from Murray Hill
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.
What is co-linear venting?
Two flexible liners run up the old flue, one bringing outdoor air in and one taking exhaust out. They join the insert at the bottom and a termination at the top.
