Heat without the smoke smell
Outdoor air feeds a sealed insert through one pipe while the second pipe carries its exhaust away, so room air does not pass through the fire, and the glass stays shut the whole time.
Done right, that means warmth in the room without the smell of an open fire. Done wrong, with a loose pipe joint or a door not sealed, it means the opposite, which is why we test the seal before leaving. Want a gas insert installed properly in Oakleaf Plantation? Call us at (904) 920-5495.

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.
The old damper and the liner route
The fireplace throat, where the damper plate sits, is the gateway for the liners. The plate is taken out or pinned wide open so the liners pass freely, and on some fireplaces part of the damper frame has to be trimmed to give them room.
Removing or fixing the damper is part of the install, done after the chimney is cleaned and before the liners go up. We write down what was done to the damper on the ticket, since anyone who later pulls the insert out needs to know the fireplace was altered before lighting a wood fire in it.
The barrier screen on a new insert
Inserts built to the 2015 revisions of the ANSI gas fireplace standards ship with a mesh guard for their glass. One insert plate makes fitting it mandatory and sends you back to the same maker when a guard is damaged.
We fit the barrier at installation and make sure it is seated before the first light. Any screen removed for service goes back on before the insert runs again. The glass behind it stays hot for some time after the flame is out, which is exactly when the barrier earns its place. The guard also comes off for glass cleaning, and it is put back before the next light.

Gas insert questions from Oakleaf Plantation
Can my fireplace in Oakleaf Plantation take a gas insert?
It depends on the opening size, the flue and the mantel above it, measured against the insert's rating plate. We check all three on a free inspection before you choose a model.
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.
