Fitting a gas insert to your Eatonville fireplace, explained
Written by the family-owned crew that fits gas inserts across Eatonville.
Old doors, screens and grates come out first
Glass doors, mesh screens, the grate and any andirons all have to go before the insert goes in. Doors often bolt to the lintel or the fireplace face, and their frames can sit right where the surround needs to land.
Our crew removes them carefully and takes them away, unless you want to keep them. Removal and disposal are listed on the estimate, so there is no surprise charge for hauling off the old hardware.
A TV above a gas insert
Plenty of homeowners want the TV above the fireplace. Heat & Glo publishes good-faith guidelines for TVs above its gas fireplaces, with minimum distances from the top of the opening and a mantel between the two, and states that they do not guarantee compliance with every TV maker's temperature limit.
The TV's own specifications set its maximum operating temperature. We read both documents, check the mantel against the insert's clearance table and give you an honest view before the bracket goes on the wall.
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.
Swapping a wood insert for a gas one
Some fireplaces already hold a wood-burning insert. Replacing it with gas means taking out the wood insert and its chimney liner, then installing the gas insert with its own listed vent system.
They are different appliances with different vents, and the old wood liner cannot stand in for the gas insert's direct-vent liners. We clean and check the chimney once the wood insert is out, before the gas insert goes in.

Your gas insert questions, Eatonville edition
Questions Eatonville homeowners ask before converting a fireplace, answered by the installers.
Do you service the insert after it is installed?
Yes. Makers recommend a yearly service by a qualified technician, covering the glass seal, logs, embers, venting and cap. We can schedule yours before the cooler months.
Will a gas insert make my room too hot?
That depends on the size you choose and the room. Inserts are listed with a range of inputs, so we match the model to the space and the way you use it. Many models also let you turn the flame down.
