Fitting a gas insert to your Rowena Gardens fireplace, explained
Plain answers about how gas inserts are installed in Rowena Gardens, and why each step matters.
Old doors, screens and grates come out first
Glass doors, mesh screens, the grate and any andirons all have to go before the insert goes in. Doors often bolt to the lintel or the fireplace face, and their frames can sit right where the surround needs to land.
Our crew removes them carefully and takes them away, unless you want to keep them. Removal and disposal are listed on the estimate, so there is no surprise charge for hauling off the old hardware.
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.
Ember material, placed by the diagram
Glowing ember material adds to the look of a gas fire, and it has rules too. The Supreme manual says embers cannot be placed over marked burner ports or in the pilot area, must be laid loosely in a single layer no more than a quarter inch thick, and should be replaced annually.
Too much ember, or ember pressed into the ports, causes lighting trouble and soot. We place it by the diagram and leave the spare material with you for the yearly service.
Blue flames that turn yellow
When a gas insert first lights, the flames often look blue. The owner's manual explains that this is normal operation and that the flames begin to turn yellow once the appliance has burned for twenty to forty minutes.
We let the insert run long enough at startup to see the flame settle. If it stays blue, lifts off the burner or leaves heavy soot, we adjust it before we leave.

Your gas insert questions, Rowena Gardens edition
Not covered here? Our Rowena Gardens team will answer on the phone.
Will a gas insert work during a power outage?
Many electronic-ignition inserts include a battery pack for outages, and Heat & Glo's Supreme series is one. The maker treats batteries as an emergency power source only. We show you how your model handles an outage at handover.
Can I put a TV above my gas insert?
Often, if the mantel and the distances in the maker's guidance work and the TV's temperature limit allows it. We check the insert's clearance table and the TV's specifications before the bracket goes up.
