Your Lake Avalon gas insert estimate, item by item
An insert has to suit the firebox, the chimney and the gas supply. In Lake Avalon, we confirm points like these at the free inspection.
- Exhaust and intake liners from the insert collars to the chimney top
- Outlet inside the firebox or a cord route to a nearby outlet
- Hearth and floor covering in front of the insert
- Conversion notice label fixed inside the firebox
Gas insert details our Lake Avalon team gets right
Written by the family-owned crew that fits gas inserts across Lake Avalon.
How high the cap has to sit
Vent caps need a minimum height above the roof, and that height changes with the roof pitch. The Supreme manual includes a table of minimum heights for different pitches, measured up to the cap's lowest discharge opening.
On an existing chimney, the chimney usually sets the height. We still check the cap against the table and against nearby walls or higher roof sections, so the exhaust clears the roof the way the manual intends.
Protecting the valve during pressure tests
Gas piping is pressure tested when it is installed, and test pressures are far higher than an insert's valve can take. Heat & Glo warns that pressure above half a psig will damage the gas valve control, and tells installers to disconnect the appliance and its shutoff valve before line pressure testing.
We coordinate the order with whoever tests the line, so the insert is isolated during the test and connected afterwards. It is one of those steps that only matters if someone forgets it.
A film on the glass after the first fires
A white or cloudy film on the glass after the first few hours is normal. The owner's manual explains it as part of the curing of the paint and logs, and says the glass should be cleaned within three to four hours of the initial burn, sometimes with a non-abrasive gas fireplace glass cleaner.
Left too long, that film can bake on. We show you how to remove the glass assembly safely, which cleaner to use and when, so the view stays clear.
Young children and a hot insert
Owner's manuals are direct about children. The Supreme owner's manual says to keep children away, supervise them in the same room as the appliance and consider an adjustable safety gate to keep toddlers and young children back from the fireplace.
The barrier screen protects against touching the glass, but the surround and front still get hot. We talk through the room layout with families and point out the parts that stay warm after the fire is off.

Gas fireplace insert FAQs for Lake Avalon
Answers from the family-owned team that fits gas inserts in Lake Avalon.
Does the chimney need cleaning before the insert goes in?
Yes. Florida's Fuel Gas Code says a chimney that vented a wood fire must be examined and cleaned before a gas appliance is connected to it. We clean it as part of preparing the fireplace.
Does the fireplace inspection in Lake Avalon cost anything?
Nothing at all. Our installer measures the fireplace in your Lake Avalon home, answers your questions and leaves a written estimate, and you decide in your own time.
