Wood insert details our installers explain in Winter Park
Useful to know before you approve an insert installation in Winter Park.
The metal tag that records the change
When a fireplace has been modified to take an insert, the Pacific guide supplies a metal tag to be fastened to the back wall of the fireplace, so that a later owner or technician can see the fireplace was modified for the insert.
We fasten that tag where the manual directs and point it out at the walkthrough. If the insert is ever removed, whoever takes it out will find the tag before anyone lights a fire in the bare opening, and can have the fireplace checked before it goes back to open burning.
How the blower moves heat into the room
An insert blower draws room air through channels around the firebox and returns it warmer. Pacific's blower starts and stops on a temperature switch, and a manual switch overrides it with a speed control.
We show you both modes at the walkthrough, including how to turn the blower off before you service it or clean around it. A blower that is left running as the insert cools simply moves less warm air, and the manual explains how the automatic setting handles that.
Longer burns and restarting from coals
For extended burns, the Pacific guide prefers unsplit logs and advises charring the wood completely on the high setting before turning the air down. Restarting after an overnight burn begins with raking the coals and opening the air.
We explain how your model handles long burns so the air is not turned down on wet or fresh wood, which is where smoky, sluggish fires come from. The manual's sequence is short and easy to follow once you have seen it once.
Following the manual protects the maker's warranty
Insert manufacturers tie their warranties to installation and use according to the manual. The Travis manual, for example, warns that burning any fuel other than cord wood voids all warranties and safety listings, and other makers attach similar conditions to how the unit is installed.
Our installers follow the manual step by step, and our own workmanship warranty covers the work we perform. Together, those protect you on both the product and the installation, and we explain at handover which parts of each warranty depend on how the insert is used.

Fireplace insert questions, answered for Winter Park
Short answers from our insert installers in Winter Park. Anything else, just call.
What happens to the old damper?
Insert manuals direct that it be locked fully open or removed. We secure or remove it during the installation, so it cannot be closed on the exhaust path later.
How often should the insert and liner be checked?
Once a year at minimum, since NFPA 211 asks for chimneys, fireplaces and vents to get an annual inspection, with cleaning or repair when needed. We offer maintenance visits for that check, and one insert maker also asks owners to look over the connector and chimney at least twice a month.
