Chimneys, fireplaces and gas units serviced in Lauderdale West

Turning a wood fireplace into a gas one is a common request, and our family team installs gas inserts for homes in Lauderdale West. We also sweep, reline and repair the masonry fireplaces that inserts go into. The chimney is therefore judged by the same local people who fit the unit. Start with a free inspection of the firebox, the damper and the flue.

We then explain which insert sizes and venting options suit your fireplace. You get the prices upfront in a free written estimate. The insert, like every other service we offer, is 10% off when approved within 72 hours of the free inspection. A gas insert is a listed appliance. The state fuel gas code covers how it is installed and vented, and the manufacturer's manual adds the details for each model.

Most inserts vent through the old chimney with a liner kit made for that unit. One pipe carries combustion gases up, and a second path brings outside air down to the burner. The kit runs from the insert to a termination at the chimney top, as the manual shows. The existing fireplace still matters. Its firebox, damper area and smoke chamber have to make room for the liner.

The chimney top has to be sound enough to hold the termination. Tell us about the fireplace now, whether it burns wood and whether gas is already piped to the house. Supply piping belongs to a gas contractor, and we tell you what the insert needs so they can plan it. Before installation day, the flue is swept and old deposits are cleared.

After the work, we walk you through the controls. You keep the manual, a written record of the model and liner and our workmanship warranty.
