Gas insert details our Mills 50 team gets right
Written by the family-owned crew that fits gas inserts across Mills 50.
Why the chimney is examined before hookup
Florida's Fuel Gas Code has a rule for exactly this job. Section 503.5.6 says that before an appliance is connected to a chimney, the passageway must be examined to confirm it is clear and free of obstructions, and cleaned if it previously vented a fireplace or another solid- or liquid-fuel appliance.
A chimney that carried wood smoke for years will almost always need that cleaning. We do it as part of the preparation, or list it on the estimate when it is a bigger job, before the insert's liners go down. A new gas appliance never gets connected to a passage that has not been cleaned and checked.
Fewer bends, steadier flame
Flexible liner can snake around offsets, but every bend adds resistance to the exhaust. The venting diagram in Heat & Glo's insert manual carries a plain note: for optimum performance, minimize or avoid bends in the exhaust vent pipe.
Many chimneys run fairly straight once they clear the smoke chamber. We route the liners as directly as the chimney allows and avoid extra loops, which keeps the exhaust moving and the flame steady.
A shutoff valve within reach
Every gas appliance needs its own shutoff valve. Section 409.5.1 of Florida's Fuel Gas Code says the valve must be in the same room as the appliance, within six feet of it, upstream of the connector and accessible. Valves placed in a fireplace firebox follow the appliance maker's instructions.
Inserts often put the valve behind a removable panel or low in the firebox area. We show you where yours is at the walkthrough and how to reach it, including any tool the maker supplies for turning it.
Reaching the blower years from now
Blowers and lights sit inside or behind the insert. Heat & Glo explains that servicing the fan on an installed unit may mean removing the decorative front and the insert, detaching the liner at the collar slide plate or working through the valve plate opening.
Knowing that, we leave the connections reachable, the gas line with slack and the liner attachment easy to get at. A future service visit then starts with a screwdriver instead of a saw.

Answers from the family-owned team that fits gas inserts in Mills 50.
Does the fireplace inspection in Mills 50 cost anything?
Nothing at all. Our installer measures the fireplace in your Mills 50 home, answers your questions and leaves a written estimate, and you decide in your own time.
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.
