How our North Quarter crew fits a gas insert
A few of the things our installers walk North Quarter homeowners through before an insert goes in.
Setting the restrictor for your vent height
A tall vent pulls harder than a short one. To balance that, many inserts have a restrictor that is set by vent height. In Heat & Glo's table, the restrictor openings stay closed on shorter runs and are opened one at a time, then both, as the vertical run gets taller.
The wrong setting can leave the flame lazy or make the insert cycle on and off. We measure the finished vent height, set the restrictor to the manual's table before the first fire and watch the flame during startup.
A seasonal look at the cap
Once the insert is running, the cap at the top of the chimney is the part you are least likely to see. The Supreme owner's manual asks homeowners to check the venting and termination cap each season for blockage from plants, bird nests, leaves or debris, and for corrosion or separation.
You can often see the cap from the yard. If something looks wrong, or you are not sure, our team checks it on a service visit. A blocked cap affects how the insert burns, so it is worth a glance.
Converting an insert to the other gas
Some inserts can be converted between natural gas and propane with a kit. The Supreme manual says the appliance must be compatible with the available gas type, and that conversions must be made by a qualified service technician using the maker's specified and approved parts.
A conversion is never a matter of adjusting a valve by feel. If your insert needs one, it is done with the correct kit, labeled as the manual requires and checked at startup like a new installation.
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.

Common gas insert questions in North Quarter
No sales script, only what we tell homeowners in North Quarter at the fireplace.
Who connects the gas line for the insert?
A qualified gas professional runs and connects the supply, as insert manuals require. It appears on its own estimate line with the name of whoever performs it. Our team coordinates the timing with the rest of the job.
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.
