Inside a gas insert installation in Colonialtown North
How our Colonialtown North crew orders the work, and which decisions stay yours.
Two liners up the chimney
A direct-vent gas insert breathes through two pipes. One carries exhaust up and out of the chimney, the other brings outside air down to the burner. In the vent kit for Heat & Glo's Supreme inserts, both are three-inch flexible pipes running from collars on top of the insert to a termination cap at the chimney top.
Because the insert draws combustion air through its own pipe, the glass front stays sealed and the fire stops pulling room air up the chimney. We run both liners, connect each to its collar and secure them before the insert is pushed home.
Each liner on its own collar
Out of the box, the exhaust liner and the intake liner look alike. They do different jobs. The installation manual says to connect the exhaust vent only to the appliance's exhaust collar and the center collar of the termination cap, and the intake only to the inlet air collars.
Our installers mark the two liners before they go down the chimney and check both ends before anything is sealed. It is a simple habit that prevents a fault you would otherwise meet only when the insert refused to run properly.
Full-length intake or a shorter one
Some insert vent kits let the intake liner stop partway and draw air from the chimney space. Others run the intake all the way to the cap. The Supreme manual describes both and notes that, depending on how clean the chimney is, a full-length intake lessens the chance of fouling the flame sensor.
The same manual says the full-length arrangement may perform better, with less cold-air infiltration, in houses with negative pressure. We explain both options for your chimney and recommend the one that suits its condition and your home.
What your insert estimate spells out
A clear estimate for a gas insert reads a lot like the manual's checklist: the model and surround, chimney cleaning and any repairs, liners and cap, damper work, gas supply, electrical work, removal of old doors and grate, and startup.
Each line has upfront pricing and a name beside it, whether that is our crew, a gas professional or an electrician. The visit that produces it is free, and booking within 72 hours after it puts 10% off on the same page.

Your gas insert questions, Colonialtown North edition
Not covered here? Our Colonialtown North team will answer on the phone.
How long does a gas insert installation take?
Once the insert, vent kit and surround are on site and any gas and electrical work is ready, the installation itself is usually a single visit. Chimney repairs or a new gas line add time. Your estimate shows the order of work.
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.
