Fitting a gas insert to your Florida Center fireplace, explained
What our Florida Center team explains at every gas insert inspection.
Sealing the liner at the collar
Where each flexible liner meets its collar, the joint has to be tight. The Supreme manual says to fix each liner with three screws and, for a good result, seal the joint with stove cement or aluminum foil tape. It adds a specific instruction: do not use silicone at that joint.
Details like that come straight from the manual, and we follow them the same way on every insert. The sealed joints are looked at again at startup, once the insert is running and warm.
Going back to wood later
Undoing an insert conversion takes more than lifting the insert out. The conversion notice says the fireplace cannot be used for burning wood or solid fuels unless all original parts have been replaced and the fireplace is re-approved by the authority having jurisdiction.
That means removing the insert and its liners, restoring the damper and having the fireplace and chimney checked before any wood fire. If you might want a real wood fire again one day, tell us before the conversion so we can talk it through.
Permits and inspections for an insert
Gas appliance installations can involve permits and inspections, and the rules depend on where you live. The Supreme manual itself tells installers to consult the local building inspector, fire officials or the authorities having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection and permits.
We check what applies at your address instead of assuming. If a permit is needed, it goes on the estimate, and the inspection is scheduled into the job. Any comments from the inspection are resolved before we consider the job complete.
Checking the boxes when they arrive
The insert, the vent kit and the front often arrive in separate boxes. Hearth & Home Technologies asks installers to report shipping damage to the dealer, with particular attention to the glass, and says installing a damaged appliance or vent component voids the warranty.
Our crew unpacks and inspects everything before the old fireplace is prepared, so a damaged part is caught while there is still time to replace it. Nothing damaged gets installed to keep a schedule.

Gas fireplace insert FAQs for Florida Center
Questions Florida Center homeowners ask before converting a fireplace, answered by the installers.
Can I put a TV above my gas insert?
Often, if the mantel and the distances in the maker's guidance work and the TV's temperature limit allows it. We check the insert's clearance table and the TV's specifications before the bracket goes up.
Is there a 10% discount on gas inserts?
There is. A gas insert installation booked within 72 hours after your free inspection is 10% off. Ask for it when you call, and the saving is written into the estimate.
