[QUOTE=jerryd_2008;3110602] Hopefully everything else works without power. Need to confirm that I guess.
Which model are you looking at? Almost all Regency inserts work without 110v power (except blower).
Not sure I understood the clean out box approach. Are you saying that one can run the gas in through that as opposed to drilling the fireplace brick from the outside?
That's exactly what I'm saying. Makes for an easy install without having to bust a new hole in the brick/concrete. The cleanout plate outside is notched to allow the gas line through, then we seal it. The gas line comes up through the ash dump hole in the floor of the fireplace. Check first to make sure it is allowed in your area, it is here (BC, Canada)
Regarding the electrical work, is it appropriate to expect the dealer to provide the electrician? We know nobody here and I would like to have one contractor responsible for all work even if he sub-contracts it. Right?
Some places do, some don't. We have electricians we recomend if asked, but it is up to the customer to arrange/pay them for the work.
