From listing label to first fire, the installation
Framing the enclosure to the manual's dimensions
A factory-built unit sits inside a framed enclosure built to the sizes in its manual. The framing sets the opening, the header height and the space around the firebox. Small errors here show up later as a face that will not finish flush or a clearance that is not met.
We frame to the model's printed dimensions and check them again before the unit goes in. Where your wall already has framing, we explain what must be moved or added. The framing work appears as its own item, separate from the unit and the finish.
Listed accessories installed to their listing
Accessories added to a fireplace, such as screens, must be listed and installed under the conditions of their listing, according to the code. For a factory-built unit, the maker's manual also limits which accessories can be used at all. An unlisted add-on can void the fireplace listing.
We check any accessory you want against the manual before it is ordered. Some items must come from the same maker, while others need their own listing. If an accessory would compromise the unit, we explain the reason and leave it out of the scope.
An old hearth may not suit the new unit
The hearth extension in front of an old unit was sized for that unit's listing. A replacement may need a larger extension, different thermal protection underneath or a different height. Keeping the old hearth only works when the new manual agrees with it.
We check the existing hearth against the new requirements during the free inspection. If it falls short, we explain whether it can be extended or must be rebuilt. Tile matching is hard to promise, so we discuss the finished look honestly before you approve.
Why flue size follows the fireplace opening
In a masonry fireplace, the code links the flue's effective area to the size of the fireplace opening. A larger opening needs a larger flue to carry its smoke. Choosing a big opening without the chimney to match can leave the room smoky.
We size the opening and the flue together in the design. If the chimney route limits the flue, the opening is sized to it rather than the other way round. You see both sizes on the drawings before construction starts.

Common questions on masonry and prefab installation
Can the old chimney pipe stay when a prefab unit is replaced?
Usually not. The new fireplace is listed with its own chimney, and mixing it with pipe from another system breaks that listing. We check the old pipe's markings and the new manual, and explain the rare cases where the maker allows reuse.
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.
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.
