Gas insert installation points for Florida Center North homes

Written by the family-owned crew that fits gas inserts across Florida Center North.

Running the insert in a power outage

Electronic ignition needs power, which raises a fair question for Florida homeowners: what happens when the lights go out? The Supreme insert comes with a battery pack that can run it during an outage, and its manual says batteries are for emergencies and not a long-term power source.

The same manual says not to leave batteries stored in the pack while the insert runs on its transformer. We show you where the pack lives and how to switch it in, so you are not reading the manual by flashlight.

Wired and grounded to the electrical code

The insert's electrical side follows the electrical code. Heat & Glo says the appliance must be electrically wired and grounded in accordance with local codes or, where there are none, the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.

Our crew handles the fireplace work. Any new circuit, outlet or change to your house wiring is done by an electrician and listed separately, so the estimate shows exactly who does what. Before startup, we confirm the insert is connected to the supply its manual calls for.

Small parts that keep the unit sealed

Some inserts include a glass seal plate that must stay in place. The Supreme manual warns that it must be properly installed, because leaving it out raises component temperatures and risks carbon monoxide exposure. It ships already in position.

Parts like this are easy to disturb during installation and service. Our technician confirms the seal plate, the glass latches and the collar slide plate screw before the first lighting, working from the manual's own checklist.

Checking a model before you buy it

Buying an insert first and measuring later can end with a return and a long wait. The minimum opening, the vent height range and the clearances are all in the installation manual, which makers publish online.

Send us the model you like before you order. We read its manual, measure your fireplace against it at the free inspection and tell you whether it fits, needs a custom surround or calls for a different size.

Florida Center North homeowners ask about gas inserts

Questions Florida Center North homeowners ask before converting a fireplace, answered by the installers.

Will a gas insert work during a power outage?

Many electronic-ignition inserts include a battery pack for outages, and Heat & Glo's Supreme series is one. The maker treats batteries as an emergency power source only. We show you how your model handles an outage at handover.

Can the insert be pulled out later for repairs?

Yes. Manuals recommend leaving extra gas line length inside the fireplace so the insert can slide forward for servicing. We plan that slack and keep the liner connections reachable.
