What the install day looks like
Install day follows a set order: the chimney has already been cleaned, the pipes go up and connect to the insert, the insert slides in, the gas and electrical hookups happen, and the surround goes on. Then the insert is lit and tested with you in the room. The surround goes on last so the connections stay reachable until they are tested.
The estimate shows the order and who is there for each step, so the day holds no surprises. Hoping to have a gas insert running by a certain date in Neptune Beach? Share the date with us when you call (904) 920-5495.

How our gas insert pros install an insert in Neptune Beach
-
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.
Aluminum liners near salt air
Aluminum pipes in a coastal chimney are the ones to watch, and their maker already wants them checked for corrosion from time to time. On the coast in Neptune Beach, salt reaching the top of the liners makes that inspection more than a formality.
We choose liner material with that in mind.
10% off any service booked within 72 hours of inspection
Gas inserts are larger jobs, and the 10% discount covers the whole install.
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.
Where co-linear liners may run
Placement rules for co-linear liners are narrow. One maker allows the co-linear portion only inside a solid-fuel-burning fireplace and its chimney, and rules out sharing a flue with a separate wood-burning appliance.
In other words, the liners use an existing wood fireplace and chimney as a chase, and the flue they occupy belongs to the insert alone. We check both conditions before planning a co-linear install, and a chimney with a wood stove on another flue gets a careful look at which flue the insert uses. The route is drawn on the estimate.
The chimney-top termination near salt air
Salt near the coast settles on the co-linear termination and its flashing at the chimney top, and the aluminum liner below it is the part its maker already wants checked for corrosion.
For a coastal installation we lean toward stainless liners and parts where the kit offers them, and we look at the termination and its fasteners on every service visit. Corrosion found early is a small repair; found late, it can mean replacing the top of the vent system. The termination's own instructions list its fasteners, and those are what we use.
Measured in Neptune Beach before a gas insert is ordered
- Inside flue size and route checked for the liners
- Chimney examined and cleaned before any gas appliance connects
- Termination and flashing at the chimney top, with the top checked first
- Barrier screen fitted and relief doors checked
Before you switch to gas
Do you clean the chimney before the insert goes in?
Yes. A flue that carried wood smoke gets checked and cleaned under the state fuel gas code before any gas appliance is hooked to it, so that is step one.
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 Neptune Beach installation.
