What decides an insert installation in Rowena Gardens
A closer look at the liner, the surround and the hearth in Rowena Gardens.
Matching the liner size to the insert collar
Every insert manual states the flue size the unit needs, which usually matches its collar. A liner that is too small restricts the exhaust and can push smoke back toward the door, and one that is much larger than the collar lets the gases cool and slow on their way up.
We read the required size from the manual for your model and confirm the existing flue has room for it, paying particular attention to the damper frame, which is often the tightest point. Where that opening is too narrow, the manual's own exceptions decide what may be taken out to pass the liner.
How the blower moves heat into the room
An insert blower draws room air through channels around the firebox and returns it warmer. Pacific's blower starts and stops on a temperature switch, and a manual switch overrides it with a speed control.
We show you both modes at the walkthrough, including how to turn the blower off before you service it or clean around it. A blower that is left running as the insert cools simply moves less warm air, and the manual explains how the automatic setting handles that.
Why the fireplace is measured before you buy
Buying an insert before the fireplace is measured is the quickest route to a unit that sits on the hearth waiting for a solution. Minimum fireplace size, chimney height, flue size and clearances all need checking against your fireplace first.
The free inspection does that checking. You can buy the unit knowing it fits and knowing what its installation will involve, or ask us to supply it as part of the job. Either way, the model is confirmed before the money is spent.
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.

What Rowena Gardens homeowners want to know about wood inserts
If we missed your question, our Rowena Gardens insert team answers the phone.
Do I need a permit for an insert?
Insert manuals tell owners to check with local building or fire officials, and requirements differ by jurisdiction. We check what applies at your address and list any permit fee separately.
Does the old fireplace need repairs before the insert goes in?
Often, yes. The manuals ask for the fireplace and chimney to be clean and sound, with cracked or loose mortar repaired first. Any repair we find is priced on its own line, so you can see it apart from the insert.
