First light with the installer
The first time a new gas insert lights, we are there. The burner should catch across all its ports, the flame should settle into the pattern the manual shows, and the glass should stay clear. A light-up that takes too long or leaves some ports dark is corrected on the spot.
We run it through its controls with you, remote, wall switch or valve, and show you how the barrier comes off for cleaning. The manual stays with the house. Getting a gas insert in Panama Park? Book the install at (904) 920-5495 and we will light it with you.

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.
Gas pressure at the valve
Every gas insert's rating plate lists the supply pressures its valve needs. One maker's plate gives a minimum of 4.5 and a maximum of 7 inches of water column for natural gas, and 11 to 13 for propane, with manifold pressures set lower.
The gas contractor or propane supplier sizes the piping to deliver that range, and once the supply is at the valve, we connect the insert, leak test every joint we made and read the pressures at the valve's test ports with the burner running. The readings go on the ticket. Pressures outside the plate's range are corrected before the insert runs for any length of time.
A carbon monoxide detector nearby
Exhaust from a direct-vent insert is designed to leave the house entirely, yet its maker still advises a CO detector in that room plus regular service.
A detector near the fireplace is a small cost next to what it protects against, and we point out a sensible spot when we install. If an alarm ever sounds or someone feels headachy or dizzy while the insert runs, everyone leaves the house, 911 is called from outside, and the insert stays off until it has been checked. We test the alarm's position with you rather than leaving it in a box.
Measured in Panama Park before a gas insert is ordered
- Inside flue size and route checked for the liners
- Co-linear or co-axial kit chosen from the insert's manual
- Liner bend radius kept through the throat and smoke shelf
- Gas supply by the gas trade, with pressures read at the valve
Before you switch to gas
What is co-linear venting?
Two flexible liners run up the old flue, one bringing outdoor air in and one taking exhaust out. They join the insert at the bottom and a termination at the top.
Does a gas insert need yearly service?
Yes. Makers want a yearly check of the insert and its venting by someone qualified, and we can put that on the calendar from the day it goes in.
