How our Lake Mary Jane crew fits a gas insert
The practical side of the job, as our Lake Mary Jane specialists explain it on site.
Two liners up the chimney
A direct-vent gas insert breathes through two pipes. One carries exhaust up and out of the chimney, the other brings outside air down to the burner. In the vent kit for Heat & Glo's Supreme inserts, both are three-inch flexible pipes running from collars on top of the insert to a termination cap at the chimney top.
Because the insert draws combustion air through its own pipe, the glass front stays sealed and the fire stops pulling room air up the chimney. We run both liners, connect each to its collar and secure them before the insert is pushed home.
How a wall switch is wired
A wall switch for a gas insert is a low-voltage control. The manual is specific: do not wire 110 to 120 volts to the wall switch, and do not connect the power cord of an electronically controlled insert to a switched circuit, because that can override its safety lockout.
If you want a wall switch, we fit the maker's switch kit and connect it as the diagram shows. Power to the insert stays constant, and the switch simply tells the control when to light.
A yearly service visit
Gas inserts need looking after. The owner's manual recommends annual service by a qualified service technician and lists tasks such as inspecting the gasket seal and glass assembly, checking the logs and ember placement, and looking over the venting and cap.
We can put your insert on a yearly schedule, so the checks happen before the cooler months instead of after something stops working. Book the work in the 72 hours after your free inspection and take 10% off.
Replacing an older gas insert
An insert at the end of its life can usually be replaced with a new one, but the new model brings its own requirements. Its minimum opening, vent kit, collar positions and gas connection may all differ from the old unit.
We remove the old insert and look at what it leaves behind. Old liners are reused only when the new model's manual lists them as part of its system and they are in good condition. Otherwise the new insert gets the vent it was tested with.

Common gas insert questions in Lake Mary Jane
Short, straight answers from our fireplace team in Lake Mary Jane. Anything else, just call.
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.
Do you service the insert after it is installed?
Yes. Makers recommend a yearly service by a qualified technician, covering the glass seal, logs, embers, venting and cap. We can schedule yours before the cooler months.
