Inside a gas insert installation in Waterford Lakes
What our Waterford Lakes 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.
Who runs the gas line
The gas supply to an insert is a piece of work in its own right. Heat & Glo's manual says gas line installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer or plumber following the applicable codes, which it names as NFPA 54 and the current International Fuel Gas Code.
Your estimate lists the gas line as a separate item and names who will do it, so you know before install day. Our team coordinates the timing, so the line is ready when the insert is set and the connection can be checked before the surround goes on.
Small parts that keep the unit sealed
Some inserts include a glass seal plate that must stay in place. The Supreme manual warns that it must be properly installed, because leaving it out raises component temperatures and risks carbon monoxide exposure. It ships already in position.
Parts like this are easy to disturb during installation and service. Our technician confirms the seal plate, the glass latches and the collar slide plate screw before the first lighting, working from the manual's own checklist.
Controls you will actually use
Modern inserts usually light from a remote, a wall switch or both. The Supreme series pairs its electronic ignition with a remote control and an optional wireless wall switch.
At the walkthrough we pair the remote, set the flame and fan levels and show you the manual controls on the unit itself. The owner's manual also asks you to keep remotes out of reach of children, so it is worth deciding where yours will live before the first fire.

Waterford Lakes homeowners ask about gas inserts
Questions Waterford Lakes homeowners ask before converting a fireplace, answered by the installers.
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.
Will you fit an insert I already purchased?
Gladly, as long as it suits your fireplace. Give us the model number when you call, and the installer reviews its opening and vent requirements before arriving. If it cannot fit, you find out while there is still time to return it.
