How our Lake Terrace crew fits a gas insert
Each point below comes from the insert manuals and the gas code, and each one shapes your Lake Terrace estimate.
Natural gas or propane, matched to the insert
An insert is built for one gas type, and its rating plate says which. Natural gas and propane versions use different orifices and run at different pressures, so the insert has to match the fuel your home actually has.
We confirm the fuel at the inspection. If there is no gas at the fireplace yet, we note where the nearest supply is and which fuel is available, then help you choose a model built for it.
A TV above a gas insert
Plenty of homeowners want the TV above the fireplace. Heat & Glo publishes good-faith guidelines for TVs above its gas fireplaces, with minimum distances from the top of the opening and a mantel between the two, and states that they do not guarantee compliance with every TV maker's temperature limit.
The TV's own specifications set its maximum operating temperature. We read both documents, check the mantel against the insert's clearance table and give you an honest view before the bracket goes on the wall.
A surround that closes the gap
The surround is what you see around the insert, and it also closes the opening between the insert and the fireplace face. The Supreme manual says to push the insert in until the surround tightly overlaps the fireplace opening, and allows only an approved surround to cover the built-in grilles of a wood-burning fireplace.
It rules out shrouds, sheet metal plates or other parts used to seal off those vents. We fit the surround the maker supplies for your model and adjust the leveling legs until it sits tight against the face all the way around.
Accessories from the approved list
Fans, lights, fronts and remotes are all accessories, and makers limit which ones may be used. The Supreme manual says to use only the maker's approved optional accessories and warns that non-listed accessories could create a safety hazard and void the warranty.
We order accessories from the approved list for your model and install each one to its own instructions. If you want to add one later, we check it against the same list first.

Quick gas insert answers for Lake Terrace
Short, straight answers from our fireplace team in Lake Terrace. Anything else, just call.
Does the fireplace inspection in Lake Terrace cost anything?
Nothing at all. Our installer measures the fireplace in your Lake Terrace home, answers your questions and leaves a written estimate, and you decide in your own time.
Does a gas insert need a new cap on the chimney?
Yes. The insert's liners end at a termination cap from the same vent system, sealed to a plate that closes the top of the old chimney. An old chimney cap cannot do that job.
