Installing a wood-burning fireplace, one decision at a time
The hearth extension a factory-built unit needs
A factory-built fireplace needs a hearth extension installed as its listing describes. The code adds that the extension must be easy to tell apart from the surrounding floor. Its size, material and thermal protection come from the manual for that model.
We lay out the extension on the floor during planning so you can see how far it reaches into the room. If you want a particular stone or tile, we check that the material and any backing meet the manual. The extension then becomes a line item of its own.
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.
How tall the finished chimney must stand
The finished chimney has to clear the roof by the amounts set in the manual and, for masonry, in the code's termination rule. Nearby parts of the building within a set distance also count. A chimney that stops short can draw poorly and send smoke back down.
We measure the roof and any higher walls near the exit before ordering chimney sections. If extra height is needed, the parts list grows and the roof view changes. We explain both effects so the chimney's height does not surprise you when the job is finished.
Using the damper on a new unit
Most wood fireplaces have a damper that must be fully open whenever a fire burns. Manuals warn that a closed or partly closed damper can overheat the unit and spill smoke and flame into the room. Close it only once the fire is out and the ashes are cold.
We show you where the control is and how it feels when fully open. On some units the handle sits above the opening, while others use a rod or lever. Getting that habit right from the start prevents most early surprises.
Items we price separately for a new fireplace
- Header and framing near the unit
- Electrical coordination for a blower kit
- Daily cover for the open roof penetration
- Debris cleanup and haul-away
Before you book a fireplace installation
Which suits my house, a factory-built or a masonry fireplace?
It depends on the structure, the room and how you plan to use the fire. Masonry needs a footing and more time, while a factory-built unit is framed in and follows its listing. We explain both for your house after the inspection.
How soon can we light the new fireplace?
After the installation is complete and any required inspection is done. The early fires should be moderate so the paint and refractory can cure, as the manual explains. We go through the lighting routine with you at handover.
Do you offer maintenance visits after the installation?
Yes. Maintenance visits follow the manual's checklist for the chimney, termination cap, refractory, grate and screen. We note what we find and do, and explain any part that will need replacing before it becomes urgent.
