What a proper insert installation involves in Falcon Trace
From our family-owned crew, the details that decide how an insert burns.
Taking out an old insert
Removing an insert means lifting away its surround, disconnecting the connector or liner from the collar, disconnecting any blower wiring and sliding the unit out without damaging the hearth. Behind it, the firebox and damper area may be seeing daylight for the first time in years.
Our crew handles the removal and hauls away the old unit when that is part of the scope. We then look at what the old insert was hiding, which is often the most useful ten minutes of the whole visit.
Reaching the chimney top safely
A liner is lowered from the top, so part of every full-liner job happens on the roof. That means ladders set properly, footing on the roof covering, and tools and liner coil handled without scraping shingles or tile.
The estimate says how our crew will reach the chimney and how the roof is protected while they are up there. If roof access is difficult, we tell you at the inspection rather than discovering it with a liner halfway down the flue.
The chimney top once the liner is in
A liner finishes with its own top plate and cap. An existing chimney cap sized for the old flue may sit in the way, or may no longer close the top properly once the liner passes through it.
We look at the existing cap during the inspection and explain whether it stays, gets modified or is replaced. Any change is written into the scope, so the top of the chimney is closed and protected when the crew climbs down.
Reading the air control
Insert air controls are marked for their ranges, with high for starting and fresh loads and lower settings for steady burning. The Pacific guide uses these markings in its operating instructions.
We set the control with you on the first fire and explain the signs of too little air: lazy flames, dark glass and smoke at the chimney top. Those signs are your cue to open it up a little. A few evenings of watching the flame teach more than any chart.

What Falcon Trace homeowners want to know about wood inserts
If we missed your question, our Falcon Trace insert team answers the phone.
What if my mantel is too close to the opening?
We measure it against the model's clearance table. The options are usually a model with a smaller mantel clearance, raising or replacing the mantel with noncombustible material, or a protection method the manual itself describes.
How should I get rid of the ashes?
Scoop them into a metal container with a tight-fitting lid, and leave it on a noncombustible surface, clear of anything that burns, until the ashes are cold. Insert manuals give the same instruction.
