Power for the blower and ignition

Many gas inserts carry a fan and an electronic ignition that run on house current, so the insert plugs into an outlet tucked behind its surround. No outlet within reach means adding one first. A fan can also be left off the order if you would rather not add an outlet.

Adding an outlet is an electrician's job, and it appears separately on the estimate. We also explain what the model does during a power cut before you buy it. Planning power for a gas insert in Ponte Vedra Beach? Talk it through at (904) 920-5495.

A coastal chimney top in Ponte Vedra Beach

A gas insert's termination sits on the chimney top, so the top itself has to be sound. Right on the coast, the metal around it corrodes sooner.

We repair the top before the termination goes on.

10% off any service booked within 72 hours of inspection

Gas inserts are larger jobs, and the 10% discount covers the whole install.

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.

Sizing the surround

A gas insert's surround panels come in set sizes, chosen to cover the gap between the insert and the edges of the fireplace opening. Too small and the gap shows; too large and the panels may not sit flat on an uneven face.

We measure the face as well as the opening, including any brick that bows out or a hearth that sits high, and order the surround to suit. Where the face is uneven, the estimate says how the panels will be fitted. The surround is also what gets taken off for service, so it is set to come away cleanly.

Inspection before use and every year

Yearly inspection by a qualified service person is part of one insert maker's instructions, along with a check before first use. Burners, control compartments and circulating air passages are to be kept clean, and lint from carpets and pet hair can call for more frequent cleaning.

A yearly visit covers the termination at the chimney top, the liner connection, the burner and pilot, the logs, the glass seal and the barrier. We can set that schedule up when the insert is installed, and each visit is recorded on the ticket. Lint from pets and rugs is a common reason the burner needs attention between visits.

Before you switch to gas

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.

Is the gas insert inspection free?

Yes. Measuring the opening, flue and mantel and writing the estimate are free, and the price you see is the price you pay. The installation comes 10% off when you book it in the three days after that visit.
