Installations

Welcome to our guide to fireplace installations! As fireplace installation experts, we understand that each type of fireplace requires a different approach when it comes to installation. In this guide, we'll provide you with some essential information on installing gas, wood, and electric fireplaces, specifically for fireplaces purchased from us. 

  • Wood fireplaces offer a timeless aesthetic and a classic ambiance. They do, however, require a bit more work when it comes to installation. Here's what you need to know:

    Timeframe: Depending on the complexity of the installation, wood fireplace installations can take anywhere from one to three days. Our team will work with you to schedule the installation at a time that's convenient for you.

    Cost: Like gas fireplaces, the cost of installing a wood fireplace will depend on the type of fireplace and the complexity of the installation. Our team will provide you with an estimate before we begin any work.

    Best time to install: The best time to install a wood fireplace is also in the spring or summer, when demand is low and you'll have plenty of time to prepare for the colder months.

    The installation process for wood fireplaces is a bit more complex than that for gas fireplaces. For starters, wood fireplaces can be quite heavy, with some models weighing over 1000 lbs. This means that getting the unit in place requires careful planning and execution, including building a base or platform to ensure that the fireplace is at the right height and securely in place.

    Another important aspect of wood fireplace installation is the venting system. Unlike gas fireplaces, wood fireplaces require a chimney that extends up through the roof line. This can be a significant undertaking, particularly if your home doesn't already have a chimney or if the existing chimney needs to be repaired or replaced. Our team of experts can help you navigate this process and ensure that your wood fireplace is installed safely and efficiently.

    One of the unique challenges of wood fireplace installation is dealing with combustible materials. Wood-burning fireplaces generate heat, which means that the venting system needs to be designed in such a way as to prevent overheating and potential fires. This can involve installing special radiation shields around the venting to create an air space that keeps combustible materials at a safe distance.

    Overall, the installation process for wood fireplaces can take anywhere from one to three days, depending on the complexity of the project. Our team of WETT-certified installers, led by company owner Nathan, has over 20 years of experience installing wood fireplaces and can handle even the most challenging installations with ease. Whether you're looking to install a wood fireplace in new construction or retrofit an existing home, we have the expertise and know-how to get the job done right.

  • Gas fireplaces are a popular option for homeowners looking for a low-maintenance heating solution. Here are some important details to know about gas fireplace installations:

    Timeframe: Installing a gas fireplace can take up to a day. Our team of experts will make sure that the installation is done efficiently and safely.

    Cost: The cost of installation will depend on the type of gas fireplace you've purchased and the complexity of the installation. Our team will provide you with an accurate estimate before we begin any work.

    Best time to install: The best time to purchase and install a gas fireplace is in the spring or summer when demand is low, and you'll have plenty of time to enjoy your new fireplace before the colder months arrive.

    When it comes to installing a gas fireplace, our team of experts is committed to providing a seamless and stress-free experience. As mentioned, the installation process involves several steps, including connecting the gas line, power, and venting. We take great care to ensure that all installations are performed safely and according to industry standards. Our licensed and certified technicians have years of experience installing gas fireplaces, so you can trust that the job will be done right the first time.

    One of the key advantages of choosing us for your gas fireplace installation is our attention to detail. We don't just connect the gas line and plug in the power; we take the time to fine-tune the flame and adjust the airflow to create the perfect ambiance for your home. Our experts can also help you choose the right accessories, such as faux brick liners, log sets, and special ember materials, to customize your fireplace to your liking. With our help, you can create a beautiful and functional gas fireplace that complements your décor and provides the warmth and comfort you crave.

  • Electric fireplaces are a great option for homeowners who want the look and feel of a traditional fireplace without the hassle of installation. Here's what you need to know:

    Timeframe: Electric fireplace installations are relatively quick and easy. Our team can usually install an electric fireplace in just a few hours.

    Cost: The cost of installing an electric fireplace will depend on the type of fireplace you've purchased and the complexity of the installation. Our team will provide you with an estimate before we begin any work.

    Best time to install: Because electric fireplaces often don’t need any installation, and if they do, it is incredibly minor.  However, if you're looking to purchase an electric fireplace, spring and summer are still the best times to buy.

When you purchase a fireplace from us, our team of experts will work with you to schedule an installation that's convenient for you. Please note that fall is our busiest season, so we recommend scheduling your installation at least two months in advance to ensure that we can accommodate your needs.
