Before the insert goes in, the fireplace gets repaired
Insert makers want the fireplace sound before their unit goes into it, since the insert depends on the masonry around it and on the chimney above. Open firebox joints, cracked firebrick or a damaged throat are fixed first, and so is anything in the flue that would sit behind the new liner.
The free inspection covers the firebox, the damper area and the flue, and each repair goes on the estimate as its own line ahead of the insert, so you see the full picture before deciding. Planning an insert for the fireplace in Orange Park? Start with the inspection by calling (904) 920-5495.

How insert installation runs
-
Measure against the manual
Firebox, chimney height, hearth and clearances are checked against the insert's table before ordering.
-
Repair and clean first
Fireplace repairs are made and cured, and the flue is cleaned before the liner goes up.
-
Liner, plate and cap
A listed stainless liner runs to the top, closed with a top plate and a rain cap.
-
Set, seal and fire
The insert and surround go in as the manual directs, and the first fire is run with you.
An old flue inland in Orange Park
Chimneys well back from the coast in Orange Park can still have cracked flue sections or open joints from years of use. A liner hides them once it is in.
Cleaning and checking the flue before the liner goes up puts anything found on paper first.

Minimum chimney height for draft
Chimneys pull smoke up and air in because warm gas in the flue is lighter than the air outside, and a taller column pulls harder. One insert maker sets a minimum chimney height of 15 feet for its model.
We measure from the hearth floor to the top of the flue, the same measurement the maker uses to size the liner, and compare it with your model's figure. Where the chimney is short, the options are a model with a lower requirement or a different plan for the fireplace, and we set those out before any order is placed, with the measurement written down.
Sizing the liner to the collar
The insert collar sets the liner size. One maker's insert uses a 6-inch stainless liner, and its manual shows the liner attached to a stove connector at the insert and running full length above it.
A liner smaller than the collar chokes the insert, and one larger than needed gives slow, cool smoke the same way the old flue did. We confirm the collar size on the unit itself, check that the flue has room for the liner and any insulation the listing calls for, and order to that size. Where the flue is too tight, the estimate says so before the order.
Clearances measured from the insert body
Labels on inserts list how far combustible materials must stay from them. One model's figures, measured from the insert body, are 20 1/2 inches to an adjacent side wall, 24 inches to a mantel or top facing, and 6 1/2 inches to side facing that projects an inch and a half.
Other models have other numbers, so the label of your insert decides. We measure your mantel, trim, side walls and any shelves near the opening against those figures before ordering, and write down any trim that would have to change or any model it would rule out.

Before you order an insert
Can any fireplace in Orange Park take a wood insert?
No. The fireplace must be at least the size the insert's manual lists, sound or repaired first, with a chimney tall enough and a flue of its own. We check all of it on a free inspection.
How long does an insert installation take?
The install itself is usually one visit once the insert, liner and parts are in. Repairs to the fireplace come first and need their drying time, which the estimate shows.
