Fitting a gas insert to your Tangerine fireplace, explained
From the firebox to the chimney top, here is how a gas insert comes together in Tangerine homes.
Slack in the line for future service
Unlike a wall, an insert does not stay put forever. Parts such as the blower sit behind or under the unit, and some service jobs mean sliding the insert forward. The Supreme manual recommends leaving extra gas line length inside the fireplace so the insert can be removed for servicing.
We plan that slack with the gas professional, so a future repair does not begin with cutting and re-running the supply. It is a small allowance on install day that saves time and money later.
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.
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.
Keeping the insert and controls dry
Gas appliance makers are firm about water. A Hearth & Home Technologies manual warns installers to keep the appliance dry, because moisture can lead to mold or rust odors and water can damage the controls. It also says any appliance or gas control that has been under water must be inspected by a qualified technician and its control parts replaced.
Before an insert goes into a fireplace, we look for signs of water coming down the chimney. A leak at the top is fixed first, so the new controls start life in a dry firebox.

Tangerine homeowners ask about gas inserts
Answers from the family-owned team that fits gas inserts in Tangerine.
What if I smell gas after the install?
Get out of the house at once and phone 911 or your gas utility once you are outside, without lighting anything or touching switches or phones on the way. Once the utility says the house is safe, our team will come back and check the installation.
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.
