The old chimney gets cleaned first

Years of wood fires leave soot and debris in a flue, and the state fuel gas code wants a chimney that burned solid fuel checked for obstructions and cleaned before a gas unit connects. The insert's liners then go up a clean passage. A chimney that has gone uncleaned for years can hold a pile of debris at the smoke shelf.

Cleaning also shows the inside of the flue and the smoke chamber before they disappear behind the liners, and anything unsound is written up first. Planning a gas insert in Nassauville? Start with the inspection by calling (904) 920-5495.

Co-axial venting, one pipe inside another

With co-axial pipe, exhaust rises through a pipe nested inside a larger intake pipe, and outdoor air comes down the ring of space around it. It is the arrangement many direct-vent fireplaces use through a wall or roof.

Inside a chimney, co-axial pipe needs a straighter, wider path than two flexible liners do. Some installations use co-axial pipe for part of the run and an adapter to co-linear liners for the rest. Which applies depends on the insert's manual and the shape of your flue, and the estimate names the kit chosen. Rigid co-axial sections also need more room at the throat than flexible liners.

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.

Electrical supply for the insert

Blowers, electronic ignition and night lights on a gas insert run on house power. One maker's rating plate lists 115 volts at 60 hertz and under 12 amperes, supplied through an outlet near the fireplace.

Where there is no outlet within reach of the insert's cord, adding one is electrical work under the National Electrical Code, done by an electrician. We plan the outlet position so the cord is clear of hot surfaces and hidden behind the surround, and the electrician's work shows as its own line. A dedicated outlet behind the surround keeps the cord out of sight and away from the heat.

Before you switch to gas

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.

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.
