Our approach to fireplace insert installation in Pinecrest
Setting the insert level and centered
An insert has to sit level and centered in the opening for the faceplate to fit and the door to close properly. The flue collar also has to line up with the liner connection. Small adjustments here make a large difference to the finished look.
We check level and alignment before the final push into place and again after the faceplate is fitted. If the hearth or firebox floor is uneven, we explain the options before setting the unit. The door and latch are checked at the end.
Recording the serial number at installation
Some insert manuals ask the installer to record the unit's serial number before the blower goes in, because the label can be hard to see afterward. The serial number identifies the exact unit for warranty questions and parts orders.
We record the serial number, the model and the date of installation in your written record. Keep that page with the manual. If you ever need a replacement gasket, glass or baffle, the right part can be ordered without pulling the insert out to read the label.
The discount tied to your free inspection
Approving the insert installation within 72 hours of your free inspection brings 10% off the agreed work. The window starts from your own inspection, not from a date on a calendar we choose. It applies to the insert, the liner and the other items you approve together.
You are free to take longer and approve later without the discount. We prefer that you understand the scope rather than rush it. If a question stands between you and a decision, ask it, and we answer before the window closes.
Two warranties on an installed wood insert
Two warranties can apply to an insert. The maker's product warranty covers the unit under its own terms, which can be voided by overfiring, missing internal parts or unlisted replacements. Our workmanship warranty covers the installation work we complete.
Your record separates what we did from what the maker supplied. Keep the maker's warranty terms with the manual. If a question comes up later, the record and the terms make it easier to sort out. Ask us to explain any clause that seems unclear.

Questions about fireplace insert installation in Pinecrest
Why does the new insert smell during its early fires?
The high-temperature paint cures during the break-in fires and gives off an odor, which manuals describe as expected. Keep those fires moderate, ventilate the room and set nothing on top of the insert until the curing is done.
How often does an insert need a maintenance visit?
It depends on how much and how you burn. Manuals ask for regular checks of the chimney connector and liner during the burning season. Our maintenance visits cover the liner, cap, baffles, gasket and glass.
Is the installation work covered after the insert is in?
Yes. Our workmanship warranty covers the installation work we complete. The insert maker's warranty covers the unit under its own terms, which is another reason we follow the manual closely.
