The flue, the fit and the fire, for Oakshire inserts
What our installers look for, and why it matters, on Oakshire insert jobs.
The listing behind every wood insert
A wood insert is tested under UL 1482 as a solid-fuel room heater, and its label names that standard and the kinds of fireplace it is allowed into. Pacific Energy, for example, prints that listing on the cover of its Pacific Insert guide beside a notice to follow the installation directions.
The label and the manual belong together. Clearances, hearth protection and the flue connection written in them are conditions of the listing, so our crew reads them for your exact model before the tape measure comes out, and the estimate follows them line by line.
Catalytic and non-catalytic inserts
Wood inserts that meet the current limits use one of two approaches. A catalytic unit passes smoke through a coated combustor that burns it at a lower temperature. A non-catalytic unit uses a baffle and heated secondary air to burn the smoke inside the firebox.
Each has its own care. A combustor needs periodic inspection and eventual replacement, while a non-catalytic baffle and air tubes need checking for damage. We explain which your model uses and what the manual asks of you over the years.
Reaching the chimney top safely
A liner is lowered from the top, so part of every full-liner job happens on the roof. That means ladders set properly, footing on the roof covering, and tools and liner coil handled without scraping shingles or tile.
The estimate says how our crew will reach the chimney and how the roof is protected while they are up there. If roof access is difficult, we tell you at the inspection rather than discovering it with a liner halfway down the flue.
No face-seal shortcuts
Some older installations sealed an insert only at the fireplace face, with no pipe carrying the exhaust into the flue. The Travis manual states that face seal connections are not allowed with its insert.
We never install an insert that way. If we remove an old unit and find that arrangement behind it, we show you, because it explains a great deal about how that fireplace has been behaving. The new insert then connects to a liner or a sealed direct connection exactly as its own manual describes.

Fireplace insert questions, answered for Oakshire
Short answers from our insert installers in Oakshire. Anything else, just call.
What happens to the old damper?
Insert manuals direct that it be locked fully open or removed. We secure or remove it during the installation, so it cannot be closed on the exhaust path later.
How far should furniture stay from the insert?
One insert manual we work from says to keep combustibles 36 inches from the front of the unit. Your model's manual sets its own distance, and we point it out at the walkthrough.
