How our Bel Air crew fits a gas insert
Field notes from our gas insert installers serving Bel Air.
Sealing the liner at the collar
Where each flexible liner meets its collar, the joint has to be tight. The Supreme manual says to fix each liner with three screws and, for a good result, seal the joint with stove cement or aluminum foil tape. It adds a specific instruction: do not use silicone at that joint.
Details like that come straight from the manual, and we follow them the same way on every insert. The sealed joints are looked at again at startup, once the insert is running and warm.
When a deck or addition goes in later
Clearances around the cap are set when the insert goes in, but houses change. The owner's manual lists something easy to miss: verify the termination cap's clearance to later construction such as building additions, decks, fences or sheds.
For an insert venting through a chimney top, that mostly means new rooflines or taller structures beside the chimney. If you are planning an addition near the fireplace wall, tell us, and we will check the cap against the manual before the plans are final.
Running the insert in a power outage
Electronic ignition needs power, which raises a fair question for Florida homeowners: what happens when the lights go out? The Supreme insert comes with a battery pack that can run it during an outage, and its manual says batteries are for emergencies and not a long-term power source.
The same manual says not to leave batteries stored in the pack while the insert runs on its transformer. We show you where the pack lives and how to switch it in, so you are not reading the manual by flashlight.
Controls you will actually use
Modern inserts usually light from a remote, a wall switch or both. The Supreme series pairs its electronic ignition with a remote control and an optional wireless wall switch.
At the walkthrough we pair the remote, set the flame and fan levels and show you the manual controls on the unit itself. The owner's manual also asks you to keep remotes out of reach of children, so it is worth deciding where yours will live before the first fire.

Quick gas insert answers for Bel Air
No sales script, only what we tell homeowners in Bel Air at the fireplace.
What happens to my old damper?
It is locked fully open or removed, as the insert manual directs, so the liners can pass through. The gap around the liners is then closed with the material the manual allows.
Can the insert be pulled out later for repairs?
Yes. Manuals recommend leaving extra gas line length inside the fireplace so the insert can slide forward for servicing. We plan that slack and keep the liner connections reachable.
