Gas insert know-how for Windermere homeowners
The practical side of the job, as our Windermere specialists explain it on site.
Natural gas or propane, matched to the insert
An insert is built for one gas type, and its rating plate says which. Natural gas and propane versions use different orifices and run at different pressures, so the insert has to match the fuel your home actually has.
We confirm the fuel at the inspection. If there is no gas at the fireplace yet, we note where the nearest supply is and which fuel is available, then help you choose a model built for it.
The logs that come with the insert
Gas inserts come with their own log set, designed for that burner. The manual gives a numbered position for each log, including how it rests against locating pins and where it must stay clear of burner ports.
Log placement affects the flame pattern and soot on the glass. Our installer sets each log to the diagram and checks the flame at startup. These logs belong to the insert itself, which makes this a different job from adding a loose log set to an open fireplace.
Blue flames that turn yellow
When a gas insert first lights, the flames often look blue. The owner's manual explains that this is normal operation and that the flames begin to turn yellow once the appliance has burned for twenty to forty minutes.
We let the insert run long enough at startup to see the flame settle. If it stays blue, lifts off the burner or leaves heavy soot, we adjust it before we leave.
Checking a model before you buy it
Buying an insert first and measuring later can end with a return and a long wait. The minimum opening, the vent height range and the clearances are all in the installation manual, which makers publish online.
Send us the model you like before you order. We read its manual, measure your fireplace against it at the free inspection and tell you whether it fits, needs a custom surround or calls for a different size.

Gas insert questions we hear in Windermere
Short, straight answers from our fireplace team in Windermere. Anything else, just call.
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.
Will a gas insert make my room too hot?
That depends on the size you choose and the room. Inserts are listed with a range of inputs, so we match the model to the space and the way you use it. Many models also let you turn the flame down.
