Installing a fireplace isn’t just about appearance—it’s also about safety, energy efficiency, and proper ventilation. That’s why we work closely with each homeowner to determine the right fireplace system for their home.
What to Consider Before Installing a Fireplace
Before choosing a fireplace, it’s important to consider your existing setup. Do you already have a chimney or fireplace in place? If so, is it safe to use or ready for replacement?
If you’re starting fresh, we’ll begin by inspecting your space and helping you understand what’s needed for a successful fireplace installation. Whether you’re looking for a prefabricated unit or a traditional masonry system, we’ll walk you through the process and explain your options clearly.
Prefab vs. Masonry Fireplace Installation
Many homeowners choose prefab fireplaces due to their affordability and faster installation time. These units are:
-
Lightweight and efficient
-
Designed for safety and easy use
-
Installed with minimal construction
-
Cost-effective compared to custom masonry fireplaces
On the other hand, masonry fireplaces offer a timeless look and can be customized to match your home’s architecture. They take longer to install but may offer longer lifespan and higher home value.
Why Installation Quality Matters
Improper installation can lead to serious problems. If fireplace components are placed too close to combustibles or installed with incompatible parts, it may increase the risk of fire or structural damage.
That’s why we follow manufacturer specifications closely and inspect every aspect of the system. We also recommend scheduling regular chimney inspections and cleanings after installation to maintain long-term performance.
Our team uses Level 2 chimney inspections with video tools to assess the chimney flue and ensure safe airflow before and after installation.
