The engineering behind a gas insert in Aloma
Each point below comes from the insert manuals and the gas code, and each one shapes your Aloma estimate.
How the surround changes the depth you need
The surround, a metal frame fitted around the insert's face, hides the space left between unit and fireplace, and its depth changes how deep the firebox has to be. In Heat & Glo's Supreme manual, standard surrounds are seven-eighths of an inch deep, custom surrounds up to three inches deep reduce the usable depth, and a flush surround built on site adds depth back.
That gives some room to work with a shallow firebox. We match the surround to your measurements and your fireplace face, and name the surround on the estimate so there is no guesswork when the boxes arrive.
Keeping the space in front clear
A gas insert throws its heat forward. The Supreme owner's manual shows a clear space of three feet in front of the fireplace and warns against placing combustible objects there or blocking the louvers. It also advises keeping candles and other heat-sensitive objects off the mantel and hearth.
Furniture layout is part of the plan. We point out the clear space at the walkthrough, so a favorite chair or a rug does not creep too close over the cooler months.
The standard behind a vented gas insert
A direct-vent gas insert is listed as a vented gas fireplace heater. Section 605.1 of Florida's Fuel Gas Code says vented gas fireplace heaters must be listed to ANSI Z21.88 and installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The Supreme insert's manual shows its listing to that standard.
In practice, that makes the installation manual the rulebook for the job. We work from the manual for your exact model, keep it with your records and leave it in the home when we finish.
Accessories from the approved list
Fans, lights, fronts and remotes are all accessories, and makers limit which ones may be used. The Supreme manual says to use only the maker's approved optional accessories and warns that non-listed accessories could create a safety hazard and void the warranty.
We order accessories from the approved list for your model and install each one to its own instructions. If you want to add one later, we check it against the same list first.

Who connects the gas line for the insert?
A qualified gas professional runs and connects the supply, as insert manuals require. It appears on its own estimate line with the name of whoever performs it. Our team coordinates the timing with the rest of the job.
Will I need an electrician for a gas insert?
Only if the insert needs power where there is no outlet. Many inserts use household power for the blower and ignition, and a new outlet in or near the firebox is electrical work done by an electrician. It is listed on its own estimate line.
