Inside a gas insert installation in Horizon West
From the firebox to the chimney top, here is how a gas insert comes together in Horizon West homes.
Full-length intake or a shorter one
Some insert vent kits let the intake liner stop partway and draw air from the chimney space. Others run the intake all the way to the cap. The Supreme manual describes both and notes that, depending on how clean the chimney is, a full-length intake lessens the chance of fouling the flame sensor.
The same manual says the full-length arrangement may perform better, with less cold-air infiltration, in houses with negative pressure. We explain both options for your chimney and recommend the one that suits its condition and your home.
Fewer bends, steadier flame
Flexible liner can snake around offsets, but every bend adds resistance to the exhaust. The venting diagram in Heat & Glo's insert manual carries a plain note: for optimum performance, minimize or avoid bends in the exhaust vent pipe.
Many chimneys run fairly straight once they clear the smoke chamber. We route the liners as directly as the chimney allows and avoid extra loops, which keeps the exhaust moving and the flame steady.
Air in a new gas line
A newly connected gas line holds some air. The manual explains that this small amount of air must be purged, and that lighting the appliance lets it purge through the pilot assembly.
That is why a new insert can take a few tries to light the first time. Our technician handles the first lighting, watches the pilot and the burner come up and stays until the flame is steady. If the pilot will not stay lit after a reasonable number of tries, we stop and find the cause instead of forcing it.
Controls you will actually use
Modern inserts usually light from a remote, a wall switch or both. The Supreme series pairs its electronic ignition with a remote control and an optional wireless wall switch.
At the walkthrough we pair the remote, set the flame and fan levels and show you the manual controls on the unit itself. The owner's manual also asks you to keep remotes out of reach of children, so it is worth deciding where yours will live before the first fire.
