How we plan a fireplace installation in Edgewood
What the listing label on a unit tells you
Every factory-built fireplace must carry a listing label, and the code requires installation under the conditions of that listing. The label names the maker, the model and the standard it was tested to. It points to the manual that holds the clearances, framing sizes and approved parts.
We read the label and the manual before we price anything. If you already own a unit, look for the label or the paperwork and share the model when you call. That detail lets us bring the right questions to the free inspection instead of general guesses.
Where the outside air intake may go
The code keeps the exterior air intake out of garages and basements, and for other than listed factory-built units it may not sit higher than the firebox. The intake gets a corrosion-resistant screen. Manuals add their own rules on placement and duct length.
We look for an intake spot that meets those rules and stays out of sight where possible. Mention any planned landscaping or walls on that side of the house. An intake later blocked by a planter or fence no longer does its job.
Ordering the unit and chimney parts
Factory-built fireplaces and their chimney parts are ordered for the specific model and route. Some items ship quickly, while others take longer to arrive. Starting construction before every listed part is on hand can leave a roof opening waiting.
We confirm the parts list against the manual before ordering and check deliveries when they arrive. If a part is back-ordered, we tell you and adjust the schedule. We do not substitute a different part to keep a date, because the listing does not allow it.
Burning the right wood in a new fireplace
A new fireplace performs best with dry, split, seasoned wood. The EPA's wood-burning guidance says a properly installed appliance should make very little smoke, and regular visible smoke points to a problem. Wet wood is a common one. Wood dries better stored off the ground with only its top covered.
We explain how to tell dry wood from wet wood and why treated lumber, painted scraps and trash stay out of the firebox. Those materials can release harmful fumes and damage the unit. Good fuel keeps the new chimney cleaner between maintenance visits.

Fireplace installation questions raised in Edgewood
Why does my new fireplace need an outside air supply?
The Florida Building Code asks for exterior air to fireplaces unless the room is mechanically ventilated and kept at neutral or positive pressure. For a factory-built unit, the air parts must be listed components. We plan the intake with the chimney route.
What happens to the roof opening at the end of each day?
Any open roof penetration is covered at the end of every work day until the chimney is sealed. Debris is gathered daily and taken away with us once the job is complete. Tell us about anything else on the roof we should protect.
Is the workmanship on the installation covered?
Yes. We back our installation work with a workmanship warranty, and the maker's product warranty covers the fireplace itself under its own terms. The written record shows which parts of the job fall under each.
