Gas insert installation points for Wadeview Park homes

What our Wadeview Park team explains at every gas insert inspection.

Why the back of the firebox matters

Many fireboxes are wider at the front than at the back, with angled side walls and a back wall that leans forward near the top. The insert itself is a rectangular unit, so its rear corners and top have to clear those angles, which is why manuals list a rear width as well as a front width.

Our technicians measure at several points, front to back and floor to lintel, and compare every number with the manual. The face of the opening alone says little about whether an insert will slide in and sit level.

Fewer bends, steadier flame

Flexible liner can snake around offsets, but every bend adds resistance to the exhaust. The venting diagram in Heat & Glo's insert manual carries a plain note: for optimum performance, minimize or avoid bends in the exhaust vent pipe.

Many chimneys run fairly straight once they clear the smoke chamber. We route the liners as directly as the chimney allows and avoid extra loops, which keeps the exhaust moving and the flame steady.

Wired and grounded to the electrical code

The insert's electrical side follows the electrical code. Heat & Glo says the appliance must be electrically wired and grounded in accordance with local codes or, where there are none, the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.

Our crew handles the fireplace work. Any new circuit, outlet or change to your house wiring is done by an electrician and listed separately, so the estimate shows exactly who does what. Before startup, we confirm the insert is connected to the supply its manual calls for.

What an insert is designed to heat

A gas insert warms the room it sits in. Heat & Glo states plainly that its Supreme inserts are not intended for use as a primary heat source, and that they are tested and approved as supplemental room heat or as a decorative appliance.

For many homes, that matches how the fireplace gets used on cool evenings. We help you pick a size that suits the room, and we will never suggest an insert can take the place of your home's heating system.

Wadeview Park homeowners ask about gas inserts

Not covered here? Our Wadeview Park team will answer on the phone.

Can a gas insert go in a bedroom fireplace?

Florida's Fuel Gas Code bars gas appliances from bedrooms, though a direct-vent unit installed to its listing is one of the allowed exceptions. Sealed inserts are generally direct vent, but your model's manual decides. We check before recommending one.

Why does a new insert smell during the first fires?

The paint and materials cure during the first long burns, and that gives off a smell. Makers describe a break-in burn with the windows open and the fireplace on high for a few hours. The smell fades once the curing is done.
