What a new fireplace installation involves in Lake Estates
Consider parts support for the model you pick
A fireplace becomes a long-term part of the house. Its refractory, grate, screen and chimney parts wear and will need replacing over the years. A model with a current parts list and a maker that still supports it makes those later repairs straightforward.
We explain how to find the parts list for a model and why it matters. When a maker retires a model, listed parts can become hard to obtain. Keeping the manual and the model details on file helps whoever services the fireplace later order the right pieces.
The metal chase top on an exterior chase
An exterior chase is closed at the top by a metal chase top that fits around the chimney. For a factory-built system, the chimney manual describes how the chase top, storm collar and termination fit together. The detail matters, because water that gets past it runs straight down toward the unit.
We use the chase top arrangement the chimney maker describes and crease or slope it so water leaves the surface. If an existing chase top has rusted through, replacing it may be a separate job on the estimate. We explain which part belongs to the installation and which one does not.
How the booking discount works
The discount is simple. Book the approved fireplace installation no more than 72 hours after the free inspection, and a 10% discount comes off the agreed price. The window starts from your own inspection, so there is no pressure before we have seen the house.
You can still approve the estimate after that window, without the discount. We would rather you approve a scope you understand than rush into one you do not. Ask any question you have while you decide, and we answer it in writing if that helps you compare.
Lighting a fire the way the manual describes
Manuals describe a lighting routine that avoids a smoky start. Open the damper fully, place crumpled paper under the grate, build a small tent of kindling and warm the flue with a burning roll of paper before lighting. Add larger split wood only once a bed of embers forms.
We go through the routine at handover with your own fireplace, so it feels familiar. A good start reduces smoke in the room and deposits in the chimney. If the routine does not work in your house, that tells us something about the draft worth checking.
Items we price separately for a new fireplace

Before you book a fireplace installation
What paperwork do we keep after the installation?
You keep the manual, the listing details, the completed installation checklist and our written record of the work. The record names the model, serial number, chimney parts and clearances confirmed. Keep them together for future service.
Would a wood insert be a simpler project than a new fireplace?
If you already have a sound masonry fireplace, an insert may be simpler. It uses the existing firebox with its own liner. Our fireplace insert installation service handles that, and we explain the difference during the free inspection.
Does a new wood fireplace need a damper?
A masonry fireplace must have a ferrous metal damper operable from the room, under the code. A factory-built unit includes the damper its maker designed. Either way, the damper stays fully open while a fire burns.
