Inside a gas insert installation in Parramore
Written by the family-owned crew that fits gas inserts across Parramore.
Two liners up the chimney
A direct-vent gas insert breathes through two pipes. One carries exhaust up and out of the chimney, the other brings outside air down to the burner. In the vent kit for Heat & Glo's Supreme inserts, both are three-inch flexible pipes running from collars on top of the insert to a termination cap at the chimney top.
Because the insert draws combustion air through its own pipe, the glass front stays sealed and the fire stops pulling room air up the chimney. We run both liners, connect each to its collar and secure them before the insert is pushed home.
What an insert is designed to heat
A gas insert warms the room it sits in. Heat & Glo states plainly that its Supreme inserts are not intended for use as a primary heat source, and that they are tested and approved as supplemental room heat or as a decorative appliance.
For many homes, that matches how the fireplace gets used on cool evenings. We help you pick a size that suits the room, and we will never suggest an insert can take the place of your home's heating system.
Gas inserts in bedrooms and baths
Gas appliances have location rules. Section 303.3 of the Fuel Gas Code bars appliances from sleeping rooms and bathrooms unless an exception applies, and one exception covers a direct-vent appliance installed to the conditions of its listing and the maker's instructions.
A sealed direct-vent insert generally fits that exception, but the listing and the manual for your model decide. If your fireplace is in a primary suite, we check both before recommending a model. The same check applies to a fireplace that opens into a bathroom.
Keeping the insert and controls dry
Gas appliance makers are firm about water. A Hearth & Home Technologies manual warns installers to keep the appliance dry, because moisture can lead to mold or rust odors and water can damage the controls. It also says any appliance or gas control that has been under water must be inspected by a qualified technician and its control parts replaced.
Before an insert goes into a fireplace, we look for signs of water coming down the chimney. A leak at the top is fixed first, so the new controls start life in a dry firebox.

Your gas insert questions, Parramore edition
Answers from the family-owned team that fits gas inserts in Parramore.
Can I still burn wood after a gas insert is installed?
No. The converted fireplace is labeled for gas insert use only. Going back to wood means removing the insert and its liners and having the fireplace and chimney approved again.
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.
