Fitting a gas insert to your Tangelo Park fireplace, explained
How our Tangelo Park crew orders the work, and which decisions stay yours.
A path for the gas line in a factory-built firebox
A factory-built fireplace may have no hole for a gas line. The Supreme manual allows an access hole of one inch or less to be drilled through the lower sides, back or bottom of the firebox, within its lower half, and says the hole must be plugged with non-combustible insulation once the line is through.
We mark the location with the gas professional before anyone drills, so the line reaches the insert's connection without crowding the surround. The sealed hole is checked again at the end of the job.
Converting an insert to the other gas
Some inserts can be converted between natural gas and propane with a kit. The Supreme manual says the appliance must be compatible with the available gas type, and that conversions must be made by a qualified service technician using the maker's specified and approved parts.
A conversion is never a matter of adjusting a valve by feel. If your insert needs one, it is done with the correct kit, labeled as the manual requires and checked at startup like a new installation.
Protecting the valve during pressure tests
Gas piping is pressure tested when it is installed, and test pressures are far higher than an insert's valve can take. Heat & Glo warns that pressure above half a psig will damage the gas valve control, and tells installers to disconnect the appliance and its shutoff valve before line pressure testing.
We coordinate the order with whoever tests the line, so the insert is isolated during the test and connected afterwards. It is one of those steps that only matters if someone forgets it.
Running the insert in a power outage
Electronic ignition needs power, which raises a fair question for Florida homeowners: what happens when the lights go out? The Supreme insert comes with a battery pack that can run it during an outage, and its manual says batteries are for emergencies and not a long-term power source.
The same manual says not to leave batteries stored in the pack while the insert runs on its transformer. We show you where the pack lives and how to switch it in, so you are not reading the manual by flashlight.

Your gas insert questions, Tangelo Park edition
Questions Tangelo Park homeowners ask before converting a fireplace, answered by the installers.
How long does a gas insert installation take?
Once the insert, vent kit and surround are on site and any gas and electrical work is ready, the installation itself is usually a single visit. Chimney repairs or a new gas line add time. Your estimate shows the order of work.
Can an insert go into a factory-built fireplace?
Often, when the insert's manual allows it. Heat & Glo, for example, designs its Supreme inserts for masonry fireplaces and for factory-built fireplaces listed to UL 127. We confirm your fireplace's type and listing at the inspection.
