Insert, liner and hearth, planned together in Country Walk
A listed liner system, installed to its instructions
Stainless liners for relining masonry chimneys are tested and listed under the chimney liner safety standard. Each system comes with instructions for its pipe, connectors, insulation, top plate and cap. The code expects the lining to suit the appliance under that appliance's listing.
We use a listed liner system and install every piece to its instructions. Parts from different liner makers are not mixed, because the instructions forbid it. Your written record names the liner system, so the next person who services the chimney knows what is there.
A family-owned team on your insert
Miami Chimney Repair is family-owned and locally owned. The people who look at your fireplace explain the insert options to you directly, and the same team follows the job through to handover. You are not passed between departments.
We keep the process plain. The estimate states what we will do, the approved price is what you pay, and anything unexpected is discussed before it changes the job. Our workmanship warranty backs the installation work we carry out, and questions about it are answered before you sign.
When the opening is too small
Some fireplace openings are simply smaller than the minimum an insert manual lists. Cutting the masonry to enlarge the opening is not an option the manuals allow. The choice then lies between a smaller model, a different appliance or leaving the fireplace as it is.
We check the smallest suitable models before telling you an insert will not fit. If none fits, we say so plainly and explain what else is realistic. You are not left with a unit that cannot be installed, and the inspection costs you nothing.
The 24/7 line after the insert is in
Questions about an insert can come up on a cold evening rather than during office hours. Miami Chimney Repair keeps a 24/7 emergency line for urgent chimney and fireplace problems. Routine questions can wait for a regular call and a maintenance visit.
Keep the manual and your written record near the insert, so the model and serial number are ready when you call. Describe what you see, what you have already tried and when it started. That information helps decide the right next step.

Asked before a wood insert goes in
Should I buy the insert before you look at the fireplace?
It is safer to wait. The opening size, the hearth, the clearances and the liner all depend on the model, and measurements often rule some out. We check the models you like against your fireplace first.
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.
What does the free inspection include for an insert in Country Walk?
We look at the masonry fireplace, the smoke chamber, the damper, the chimney and flue, the hearth and the trim around the opening. We also check roof access for the liner work and measure the opening in three directions.
