Frequently Asked Questions
How Do Gas Fireplace Inserts Work?
Gas fireplace inserts not only provide a great ambiance to any home, but also provide warmth and comfort that meets all your heating needs. They are highly efficient and are more flexible as to the location of placement in your home.
They are made of a sealed metallic box and an insulated glass that prevents any heat loss. The gas is combusted to produce heat, which is then radiated into the room.
Majestic gas fireplace inserts feature a direct vent technology, which uses a chambered double vent pipe that draws combustion air from the outdoors as opposed to inside the room, and similarly lets out the exhaust and fumes from the appliances to the outside of the exterior wall.
How Long Do Fireplace Inserts Last?
The minimum expected useful life of a fireplace insert ranges between 20 years to 30 years. However, other Majestic fireplace parts, components and accessories that come with the appliance have a shorter life span and might, therefore, require replacement within the first ten years of ownership.
Majestic offers a warranty to the original owner or any transferee of ownership at the site of installation within two years of original purchase. It includes a Limited Lifetime warranty of 20 years for gas appliances, covering only the firebox and the heat exchanger.
Burners, Logs, and refractory have a 10-year warranty, while ignition modules and factory-installed Majestic fireplace blowers have a 2-year warranty. Other Majestic fireplace parts and components have a 1-year warranty. There is also a 90-day warranty on all parts replaced beyond the warranty period.
How to Light Majestic Fireplace Gas Inserts?
The Majestic fireplace gas inserts are equipped with an intermittent pilot ignition device which automatically lights the burner. Therefore, do not try to light the burner by hand. Before lighting, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Do not operate the unit if the fixed glass assembly is removed, cracked, or broken. Call a qualified technician in case of any challenges with lighting the unit, or if any part of it has been underwater.
Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob without using force. Wait for five minutes to clear out any gas, then smell for gas, including near the floor. If you smell any gas, do not touch any electronic appliances, and immediately call your gas supplier or the fire department from the neighbor’s phone.
If there is no smell, proceed with lighting the burner. If the appliance is equipped with the wall switch, turn the ON/OFF switch to ON. If it comes with a remote or wall control, simply Press ON or the FLAME button, and if it has a thermostat, set the temperature to the desired setting.
To turn off the gas appliance, Turn the ON/OFF switch to OFF on the wall switch, or press the OFF button on the remote or wall control. If it is equipped with a thermostat, set the temperature to the lowest setting. Remember to turn off the electric power to the control when performing service.
