Gas insert details our Mercy Drive team gets right
Plain answers about how gas inserts are installed in Mercy Drive, and why each step matters.
Liners that run tight and straight
Flexible liner is easy to push into a chimney and just as easy to leave with a loop or a sag in it. The manual says the vent must not sag below its connection to the appliance, and that excess liner is pushed back up into the chimney without sagging.
A sag can hold condensation and restrict the flow. Our crew sizes the liner to the chimney, keeps it straight through the smoke chamber and checks it from below before the insert is set in place.
Power for the blower and ignition
Many gas inserts need household power for a blower, lights or electronic ignition. Heat & Glo shows an outlet box fitted in a bottom back corner of the existing fireplace, or the supplied cord routed out onto the hearth to a nearby outlet.
An outlet inside the firebox keeps the cord out of sight, and it is electrical work done by an electrician. We plan its position around the insert's cord length and list it on its own estimate line.
How close a wood mantel can sit
A wood mantel above the fireplace is a combustible projection, and an insert puts out real heat at its face. Insert manuals give minimum distances from the top of the surround to a combustible mantel, and those distances grow as the mantel sticks out further.
We measure your mantel's height and depth and check them against the table for the insert you want. If the mantel is too low for that model, you hear it at the inspection, together with the choices, such as a different insert or moving the mantel.
The standard behind a vented gas insert
A direct-vent gas insert is listed as a vented gas fireplace heater. Section 605.1 of Florida's Fuel Gas Code says vented gas fireplace heaters must be listed to ANSI Z21.88 and installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The Supreme insert's manual shows its listing to that standard.
In practice, that makes the installation manual the rulebook for the job. We work from the manual for your exact model, keep it with your records and leave it in the home when we finish.

Gas fireplace insert FAQs for Mercy Drive
Questions Mercy Drive homeowners ask before converting a fireplace, answered by the installers.
Will you fit an insert I already purchased?
Gladly, as long as it suits your fireplace. Give us the model number when you call, and the installer reviews its opening and vent requirements before arriving. If it cannot fit, you find out while there is still time to return it.
Can a gas insert go in a bedroom fireplace?
Florida's Fuel Gas Code bars gas appliances from bedrooms, though a direct-vent unit installed to its listing is one of the allowed exceptions. Sealed inserts are generally direct vent, but your model's manual decides. We check before recommending one.
