Fireplace insert know-how for Holden Heights homes
How the manual, the flue and your fireplace shape the plan in Holden Heights.
A television above the fireplace
Warm air from an insert rises past the mantel and the wall above. The manual's clearances cover combustible materials such as a mantel and top facing; a television has its own limits from its maker.
When a screen hangs above the opening, we measure its position against the insert's mantel and top-facing clearances and explain how the heat will reach it. Sometimes the answer is a model with a lower top clearance, and sometimes it is a shelf that deflects heat.
A rain cap on the end of the liner
The last step of a full-liner installation in the Pacific guide is a rain cap attached to the liner end, with a storm collar allowed as well. Without a cap, rain falls straight down the liner and into the insert, where it rusts steel and softens firebrick.
We fit a cap made for your liner and check that it sits clear of any existing cap on the chimney. When the old cap is in the way, the change is written into the scope so you know exactly what the chimney top will look like afterwards.
Hot glass in a busy living room
An insert's glass and door get hot enough to cause a burn. The Travis manual advises teaching children about the danger of a high-temperature appliance and supervising young children when they are in the same room as it.
We ask where children and pets spend time and whether a free-standing barrier would help your household. It is a short conversation, and it belongs before the first fire rather than after it. The same goes for a firewood basket parked too close to the door, which we flag at the walkthrough.
Water in the firebox before installation
Staining, rust on the old damper or a damp firebox floor are signs that water is entering the flue. An insert placed into a wet fireplace inherits that problem, and its steel body is less forgiving of standing water than brick.
When we see signs of water, we trace the likely source at the top of the chimney and include the fix in the scope. The liner cap then keeps rain out of the insert itself once the work is done.

What Holden Heights homeowners want to know about wood inserts
What people in Holden Heights ask us before an insert is ordered.
Does a new wood insert have to meet EPA limits?
From May 15, 2020, every wood heater made or sold at retail, inserts among them, has had to meet EPA's Step 2 particulate limit. Look for the permanent label on the unit and its listing in EPA's public database.
What is the metal tag on the fireplace back wall?
When a fireplace is modified for an insert, one maker requires a metal tag fastened to the back wall. We fit it whenever your model's manual calls for one, and it stays there for anyone who works on the fireplace later.
