Fireplace installation work, explained in plain terms
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.
Outline the fireplace on the wall first
Before choosing a model, mark its opening, face and hearth extension on the wall and floor with tape. Seeing the real size in the room answers questions a brochure cannot. It also shows how the clear space in front of the fire affects your furniture.
We can bring outline dimensions for a few candidate models to the inspection. Taping them up takes minutes and often settles the choice. A size that felt small on paper can dominate a room, and the reverse happens too.
Checks made before walls and ceilings close
Once drywall and ceilings are up, clearances, firestops and the attic shield disappear from view. That is why they are checked before the surfaces close. The manual's checklist and any required inspection happen at this stage, not after the finish.
We walk you through the open framing if you want to see what the finished wall will hide. Any item that needs correcting is fixed before closing. The confirmation goes into the written record, so the hidden work is documented. Ask questions then, since the answers are easiest to show with the framing open.
Keeping the maker's warranty intact
Fireplace makers attach conditions to their warranties. Unapproved parts, modifications, overfiring and installation outside the manual can void them, along with the listing itself. The warranty terms travel with the model, so they belong in your files. Some makers also want the model and serial number recorded.
We install to the manual and use only listed parts, which keeps those conditions met. Our workmanship warranty covers the installation work we do, separately from the maker's product warranty. The written record shows which is which. Ask us to explain any warranty clause you find unclear.

Installing a fireplace in Riverland, your questions
Who handles the wiring for a blower or fan kit?
An electrician. We place the electrical box where the manual shows while the framing is open, and the electrician runs any new circuit under the electrical code. The estimate shows that work as a coordinated item.
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.
What does the free inspection include for a new fireplace in Riverland?
We look at the room, the floor structure, the wall you prefer, the attic framing, the roof exit and a place for outside air. For a replacement, we add the old unit, its chimney and the enclosure.
