What a gas insert job involves in Avalon Park
Field notes from our gas insert installers serving Avalon Park.
Air in a new gas line
A newly connected gas line holds some air. The manual explains that this small amount of air must be purged, and that lighting the appliance lets it purge through the pilot assembly.
That is why a new insert can take a few tries to light the first time. Our technician handles the first lighting, watches the pilot and the burner come up and stays until the flame is steady. If the pilot will not stay lit after a reasonable number of tries, we stop and find the cause instead of forcing it.
The reset switch on the surround
Some inserts have a switch that must be on before anything works. The Supreme series has a reset switch and battery plug attached to the side of the surround, and its manual says the reset switch must be installed and in the on position for the appliance to operate.
It is the kind of detail that causes a service call a month after installation. We point it out at the walkthrough, so if the insert ever seems dead, the first thing you check is a switch you already know about.
The conversion label inside the firebox
Once a wood-burning fireplace holds a gas insert, it has changed for good. Heat & Glo includes a fireplace conversion notice, to be permanently attached inside the lower back of the firebox, stating that the fireplace has been converted for use with a gas insert only.
That label protects the next owner or technician as much as you. We attach it where the manual shows, with silicone or mechanical fasteners if needed, so it stays put.
Checking the boxes when they arrive
The insert, the vent kit and the front often arrive in separate boxes. Hearth & Home Technologies asks installers to report shipping damage to the dealer, with particular attention to the glass, and says installing a damaged appliance or vent component voids the warranty.
Our crew unpacks and inspects everything before the old fireplace is prepared, so a damaged part is caught while there is still time to replace it. Nothing damaged gets installed to keep a schedule.

Common gas insert questions in Avalon Park
No sales script, only what we tell homeowners in Avalon Park at the fireplace.
Can I still burn wood after a gas insert is installed?
No. The converted fireplace is labeled for gas insert use only. Going back to wood means removing the insert and its liners and having the fireplace and chimney approved again.
Is there a 10% discount on gas inserts?
There is. A gas insert installation booked within 72 hours after your free inspection is 10% off. Ask for it when you call, and the saving is written into the estimate.
