What a gas insert job involves in Dixie Belle
Field notes from our gas insert installers serving Dixie Belle.
A clean firebox before the insert slides in
The preparation list in the Supreme manual starts inside the fireplace. The wood-burning cavity has to be clean and free of ash, soot and other debris before the insert is set. Whatever stays behind ends up trapped behind the surround, where nobody will reach it again without pulling the insert back out.
Our crew brushes and vacuums the firebox, the smoke shelf and the damper area as part of the prep. Floors and the hearth are covered while we work, and the room is left as clean as we found it.
Minimum opening sizes come from the manual
Every insert has a minimum fireplace opening it needs with its standard surround: a width at the front, a width at the back, a height and a depth. The Supreme manual gives a table for each insert size, and a separate one for a deeper surround.
We measure your firebox against the table for the model you like, before you buy it. If the opening is too small for that model, you hear it at the inspection, along with a smaller size or a different insert that will fit properly.
Adding height above a short chimney
Some manuals allow the vent to continue above the existing chimney in rigid direct-vent pipe. The Supreme manual permits it within the maximum vertical limit, using a named adapter and pipe series, and gives a table that balances the length of flexible liner against the rigid pipe needed above it.
It changes how the top of the chimney looks and adds parts to the job, so we show you what it involves before you commit. Every part comes from the system the manual names, and the finished height is measured again.
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.
What if I smell gas after the install?
Get out of the house at once and phone 911 or your gas utility once you are outside, without lighting anything or touching switches or phones on the way. Once the utility says the house is safe, our team will come back and check the installation.
