What a gas insert job involves in Richmond Estates
The practical side of the job, as our Richmond Estates specialists explain it on site.
Minimum opening sizes come from the manual
Every insert has a minimum fireplace opening it needs with its standard surround: a width at the front, a width at the back, a height and a depth. The Supreme manual gives a table for each insert size, and a separate one for a deeper surround.
We measure your firebox against the table for the model you like, before you buy it. If the opening is too small for that model, you hear it at the inspection, along with a smaller size or a different insert that will fit properly.
Insert vents run straight up the chimney
A built-in gas fireplace can sometimes vent sideways through a wall. An insert in an existing fireplace uses the chimney that is already there. The Supreme manual is plain about it: terminating horizontally is not allowed, and vertical terminations are measured to the top of the chimney.
That is one reason the chimney's condition and height matter so much here. If the chimney cannot carry the vent, an insert may be the wrong project, and we will say so and explain what else could work.
The checks before the first fire
The owner's manual for the Supreme series lists what a qualified service technician should confirm before a new insert is used: shipping materials removed, logs and embers placed correctly, wiring checked, the air shutter adjusted, the connections tight with no gas escaping, and the glass sealed with its barrier in place.
Our technician works through that list on every installation, with you watching if you like. It turns the first lighting into a planned test instead of a hopeful one.
Cleaning up inside the unit
Installation makes dust, and some of it finds its way into the insert. The Supreme manual includes a step to vacuum any sawdust that has collected inside the firebox or underneath in the control cavity, and to remove all shipping materials.
Debris in the control area can interfere with the burner and controls. Our crew cleans the unit and the hearth before the first lighting and again once the surround is on.

Common gas insert questions in Richmond Estates
No sales script, only what we tell homeowners in Richmond Estates at the fireplace.
Will a gas insert fit my fireplace in Richmond Estates?
Many masonry and factory-built fireplaces can take one, but the insert's manual decides. We measure the width, rear width, height and depth of your firebox and check them against the model's minimum opening. You get the answer before you buy anything.
Do I have to remove my mantel for an insert?
Not if it meets the insert's clearance table. We measure its height and depth against the table for your model. If it falls short, we explain the choices before anything is ordered.
