The flue, the fit and the fire, for Timber Springs inserts
What our installers look for, and why it matters, on Timber Springs insert jobs.
Exhaust fans and a tightly sealed house
Insert manuals note that anything causing negative pressure in the home can pull fumes into the living area. Strong kitchen and bathroom exhaust fans, a clothes dryer and tightly sealed windows all compete for the same air the insert needs to draft.
We ask about those appliances during the visit and look at where the insert will sit relative to them. Where the manual offers an outside air route, that can help, and we explain it. Where it does not, we tell you how to run the fans while a fire is burning.
Power for the insert blower
Many inserts carry a circulating blower that pushes heat into the room. The Pacific Insert blower runs on standard household current, and its guide asks for a properly grounded outlet that takes a three-prong plug, with the grounding prong never cut or removed, and wiring to the National Electrical Code.
When no outlet sits within reach of the cord, an electrician adds one as separate work with its own line on the estimate. We plan the cord route so it stays away from hot surfaces and out of sight behind the surround where the manual allows.
Reaching the chimney top safely
A liner is lowered from the top, so part of every full-liner job happens on the roof. That means ladders set properly, footing on the roof covering, and tools and liner coil handled without scraping shingles or tile.
The estimate says how our crew will reach the chimney and how the roof is protected while they are up there. If roof access is difficult, we tell you at the inspection rather than discovering it with a liner halfway down the flue.
Keeping curtains and furniture back from the front
The Travis manual asks for furniture, drapes, curtains, wood, paper and other combustibles to be kept at least 36 inches from the front of its insert. Other manuals give their own figure, and the one for your model is the one that counts.
We point out that distance on the floor at the walkthrough, so the sofa, the rug and the firewood basket can be placed with it in mind. A room arranged around an open fireplace sometimes needs a small rethink once an insert is running.

Answers on wood inserts for Timber Springs households
Short answers from our insert installers in Timber Springs. Anything else, just call.
Will my hearth be big enough?
Insert manuals set how far the noncombustible hearth must reach in front of and beside the opening, and whether a flush hearth needs to reach further. We measure yours and write any extension into the estimate.
Do I need an outside air kit?
It depends on the model. Some inserts can take combustion air from outside through the ash clean-out, with a rodent screen and a sealed surround, while others use room air with the surround left unsealed. We set it up the way your manual describes.
