The flue, the fit and the fire, for Orlo Vista inserts
What our installers look for, and why it matters, on Orlo Vista insert jobs.
The door seal on a new insert
The door and glass of an insert close against gaskets that make the firebox airtight enough for the air controls to work. The Travis manual lists maintaining the door and glass seal among its safety precautions and describes a door that forms an air-tight seal.
At the walkthrough we close the door on a strip of paper to show how a good seal grips. Gaskets wear over the years, and knowing how a new one feels makes it easier to notice when a replacement is due.
Yearly inspection with a liner in place
NFPA 211, the national standard for chimneys, fireplaces, vents and solid fuel-burning appliances, puts chimneys and vents on a yearly inspection for soundness, deposits and clearances, with cleaning and repair when that inspection finds them due.
The Travis manual goes further and asks owners to look at the connector and chimney twice a month during use. We note the install date and the liner type in your records so the yearly visit starts with the facts.
Following the manual protects the maker's warranty
Insert manufacturers tie their warranties to installation and use according to the manual. The Travis manual, for example, warns that burning any fuel other than cord wood voids all warranties and safety listings, and other makers attach similar conditions to how the unit is installed.
Our installers follow the manual step by step, and our own workmanship warranty covers the work we perform. Together, those protect you on both the product and the installation, and we explain at handover which parts of each warranty depend on how the insert is used.
If you ever want the open fireplace back
Removing an insert does not return a fireplace to open burning by itself. The damper may have been removed, a block-off plate or liner may remain, and the metal tag on the back wall is there to record that the fireplace was modified.
If you ever decide to go back to an open fire, the fireplace and chimney should be inspected first and returned to working order. We note this at handover because the house may change hands long before the insert does.

Is the inspection really free?
Yes. The free inspection covers measuring the fireplace, checking the flue and reading the manual for the model you are considering. You get a written estimate with upfront pricing before any work, and booking within 72 hours after the inspection takes 10% off.
Do I need an outside air kit?
It depends on the model. Some inserts can take combustion air from outside through the ash clean-out, with a rodent screen and a sealed surround, while others use room air with the surround left unsealed. We set it up the way your manual describes.
