What a gas insert job involves in Hibiscus
The practical side of the job, as our Hibiscus specialists explain it on site.
Converting an insert to the other gas
Some inserts can be converted between natural gas and propane with a kit. The Supreme manual says the appliance must be compatible with the available gas type, and that conversions must be made by a qualified service technician using the maker's specified and approved parts.
A conversion is never a matter of adjusting a valve by feel. If your insert needs one, it is done with the correct kit, labeled as the manual requires and checked at startup like a new installation.
The reset switch on the surround
Some inserts have a switch that must be on before anything works. The Supreme series has a reset switch and battery plug attached to the side of the surround, and its manual says the reset switch must be installed and in the on position for the appliance to operate.
It is the kind of detail that causes a service call a month after installation. We point it out at the walkthrough, so if the insert ever seems dead, the first thing you check is a switch you already know about.
Choosing an insert size for the room
Inserts come in sizes, and the manual lists each one's maximum and minimum input in BTUs per hour. A bigger unit is not automatically a better one. In a small room or a tightly sealed house, a high input can make the space uncomfortably warm.
We weigh the floor area, the ceiling height, any wide openings into other rooms and how you use the fireplace, then suggest a size that fits your firebox and your comfort. The rating plate on the insert you choose is what we check against.
Blue flames that turn yellow
When a gas insert first lights, the flames often look blue. The owner's manual explains that this is normal operation and that the flames begin to turn yellow once the appliance has burned for twenty to forty minutes.
We let the insert run long enough at startup to see the flame settle. If it stays blue, lifts off the burner or leaves heavy soot, we adjust it before we leave.

Common gas insert questions in Hibiscus
No sales script, only what we tell homeowners in Hibiscus at the fireplace.
Do I have to remove my mantel for an insert?
Not if it meets the insert's clearance table. We measure its height and depth against the table for your model. If it falls short, we explain the choices before anything is ordered.
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.
