Gas insert installation points for Camellia Gardens homes
Plain answers about how gas inserts are installed in Camellia Gardens, and why each step matters.
The floor in front of the insert
An insert pushes heat out into the room, and the floor in front of it has to cope with that. Heat & Glo's Supreme manual recommends a small hearth or a set distance where vinyl flooring meets the insert, advises against adhesive-based vinyl because of thermal expansion and notes that floating floors can be used but will get warm, so the flooring maker's specifications should be checked.
A raised stone or tile hearth usually works as it is. Where flooring runs right up to the opening, we check it against the manual for your model and tell you what, if anything, has to change.
One flue for one appliance
Every insert needs a vent of its own. Heat & Glo forbids tying the insert into a chimney flue that already serves another solid-fuel or gas-burning appliance and calls for a separate vent system. Section 503.5.7.1 of Florida's Fuel Gas Code likewise bars connecting an appliance to a flue that serves a separate solid-fuel appliance.
In a chimney with one flue, that is simple. Where a chimney holds two flues, for example serving a second fireplace, we identify which flue the insert will use and keep it apart from the other appliance.
The screen in front of the glass
Insert glass gets hot enough to burn. Heat & Glo requires a decorative barrier front to prevent direct contact with the hot viewing glass, says it must be ordered when the fireplace is purchased and warns against operating the fireplace with the barrier removed.
If a barrier is damaged later, the owner's manual says to replace it with the maker's barrier for that appliance. We put the barrier on your order from the start and fit it before the first fire.
Keeping the insert and controls dry
Gas appliance makers are firm about water. A Hearth & Home Technologies manual warns installers to keep the appliance dry, because moisture can lead to mold or rust odors and water can damage the controls. It also says any appliance or gas control that has been under water must be inspected by a qualified technician and its control parts replaced.
Before an insert goes into a fireplace, we look for signs of water coming down the chimney. A leak at the top is fixed first, so the new controls start life in a dry firebox.

Your gas insert questions, Camellia Gardens edition
Not covered here? Our Camellia Gardens team will answer on the phone.
Will you fit an insert I already purchased?
Gladly, as long as it suits your fireplace. Give us the model number when you call, and the installer reviews its opening and vent requirements before arriving. If it cannot fit, you find out while there is still time to return it.
Does a gas insert need a new cap on the chimney?
Yes. The insert's liners end at a termination cap from the same vent system, sealed to a plate that closes the top of the old chimney. An old chimney cap cannot do that job.
