What a gas insert job involves in Piedmont
The practical side of the job, as our Piedmont specialists explain it on site.
What the insert manual asks of the chimney
Before the insert goes in, its manual lists conditions for the chimney it will vent through. The chimney must be built of noncombustible materials, clean and in good working order, with its joints engaged and the structure secured. Cleanouts have to fit properly so air does not leak into the chimney.
Those conditions cannot be judged from the living room. Our technicians look up the chimney, at the top and at any cleanout door, and write down anything that needs attention. Chimney repairs are quoted as their own items, so you can see what belongs to the insert and what belongs to the chimney.
When the chimney is not ready for gas
Now and then the inspection finds a chimney that cannot safely serve a gas appliance as it stands. Section 503.5.6.3 of the Fuel Gas Code covers that case: the chimney is repaired, rebuilt, lined, relined or replaced so that it suits the appliance it will vent.
A direct-vent insert carries its own sealed liners, but they still run inside the old chimney and exit through its top. Damage to the structure or to the top of the chimney is dealt with first. We explain what we found, what it means for the insert and the order the work should happen in.
A yearly service visit
Gas inserts need looking after. The owner's manual recommends annual service by a qualified service technician and lists tasks such as inspecting the gasket seal and glass assembly, checking the logs and ember placement, and looking over the venting and cap.
We can put your insert on a yearly schedule, so the checks happen before the cooler months instead of after something stops working. Book the work in the 72 hours after your free inspection and take 10% off.
Accessories from the approved list
Fans, lights, fronts and remotes are all accessories, and makers limit which ones may be used. The Supreme manual says to use only the maker's approved optional accessories and warns that non-listed accessories could create a safety hazard and void the warranty.
We order accessories from the approved list for your model and install each one to its own instructions. If you want to add one later, we check it against the same list first.

Gas insert questions we hear in Piedmont
No sales script, only what we tell homeowners in Piedmont at the fireplace.
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.
Do you service the insert after it is installed?
Yes. Makers recommend a yearly service by a qualified technician, covering the glass seal, logs, embers, venting and cap. We can schedule yours before the cooler months.
