Fitting a gas insert to your Malibu Groves fireplace, explained
Written by the family-owned crew that fits gas inserts across Malibu Groves.
When a deck or addition goes in later
Clearances around the cap are set when the insert goes in, but houses change. The owner's manual lists something easy to miss: verify the termination cap's clearance to later construction such as building additions, decks, fences or sheds.
For an insert venting through a chimney top, that mostly means new rooflines or taller structures beside the chimney. If you are planning an addition near the fireplace wall, tell us, and we will check the cap against the manual before the plans are final.
Mantel legs and side walls
Clearance rules apply at the sides as well as the top. The Supreme manual has tables for mantel legs and wall projections beside the opening, with minimum dimensions for each insert size and surround model.
Stone columns, wood pilasters and built-in shelving beside a fireplace all count. We measure them with the mantel, so the whole face works with the insert and nothing has to be torn out after the fact.
Checking a model before you buy it
Buying an insert first and measuring later can end with a return and a long wait. The minimum opening, the vent height range and the clearances are all in the installation manual, which makers publish online.
Send us the model you like before you order. We read its manual, measure your fireplace against it at the free inspection and tell you whether it fits, needs a custom surround or calls for a different size.
Swapping a wood insert for a gas one
Some fireplaces already hold a wood-burning insert. Replacing it with gas means taking out the wood insert and its chimney liner, then installing the gas insert with its own listed vent system.
They are different appliances with different vents, and the old wood liner cannot stand in for the gas insert's direct-vent liners. We clean and check the chimney once the wood insert is out, before the gas insert goes in.

Your gas insert questions, Malibu Groves edition
Answers from the family-owned team that fits gas inserts in Malibu Groves.
How long does a gas insert installation take?
Once the insert, vent kit and surround are on site and any gas and electrical work is ready, the installation itself is usually a single visit. Chimney repairs or a new gas line add time. Your estimate shows the order of work.
What happens to my old damper?
It is locked fully open or removed, as the insert manual directs, so the liners can pass through. The gap around the liners is then closed with the material the manual allows.
