Replacing a gas insert that is years old
Older gas inserts wear out: burners corrode, valves fail and parts go out of production. Replacing one is also the time to look at the pipes up the chimney, since a new insert may need different sizes or a different kit. Model changes can also move the gas connection to a different side.
The existing pipes and cap are checked before quoting, and the estimate says whether they can be reused or must be replaced for the new model. Old gas insert in Oceanway that has stopped being worth repairing? Have it looked at free at (904) 920-5495.

How our gas insert pros install an insert in Oceanway
-
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.
A TV above an insert in Oceanway
A TV over a gas insert in Oceanway depends on the mantel figures and on the TV maker's heat limits.
We measure the wall above before you mount anything.

What the insert's listing means
Florida's fuel gas code, in section 605.1, requires vented gas fireplace heaters, the category most direct-vent inserts are listed under, to be listed to ANSI Z21.88 and installed according to the maker's instructions. It also points to 602.2 for how the flame is lit and proven.
In practice that ties every step of the installation to the manual of the exact model: the fireplace it may go into, the vent kit, the clearances and the gas supply. We work from that manual on site, and when a figure in it cannot be met, the answer is a different model or plan, not a shortcut.
Only the fronts made for the insert
Decorative fronts and doors for gas inserts are sold separately, and not all of them fit every model. One maker's manual allows only the doors and optional fronts approved with the unit to be installed on it.
A front from another model can block air openings, change how the glass seals or overheat, even if it looks like it fits. We order fronts from the parts list for the insert's model, and when a customer already has a front, we check its part number against that list before it goes on. The part numbers on the front and the plate should agree.
Nothing added to the flame area
Decorative glass, stones and extra embers are tempting additions to a gas insert, but one maker warns against adding any material that will come in contact with the flames other than what it supplied with the appliance.
Material that does not belong on the burner can disturb the flame, cause soot and crack the glass. We set the logs, embers and media exactly as the manual shows on install day, and if you want a different look, we check the maker's list of approved media for that model before anything is changed. Approved media swaps are a simple job when the list allows them.
