Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our fireplace installation services
Does a wood-burning fireplace require a chimney?
Yes, traditional wood-burning fireplaces require a chimney to safely exhaust combustion gases and smoke to the outside. The chimney must be properly sized to ensure adequate draft and prevent smoke from backing up into the home. New installations typically require a UL-listed chimney system or a masonry chimney built to code. Chimney installation is a significant portion of the overall cost of a wood-burning fireplace project.
Do electric fireplaces produce real heat?
Yes, electric fireplaces produce real heat through electric heating elements or infrared technology. Most standard models produce between 4,000 and 5,000 BTUs, which is enough to heat approximately 400 square feet. Infrared models are particularly effective because they heat objects and people in the room rather than just the air. However, they are not designed to be whole-home heating solutions.
What is a firebox and what materials are used to construct it?
The firebox is the chamber where the fire burns in a wood-burning fireplace. It is typically constructed from refractory brick and mortar, which are specially designed to withstand extreme heat. Over time, the mortar and firebrick can crack and deteriorate, requiring repair or replacement. Proper firebox construction is critical for the safety and performance of the fireplace.
What are the venting options for a gas fireplace?
Gas fireplaces can be vented in several ways: direct vent, natural vent (B-vent), or vent-free. Direct vent fireplaces draw combustion air from outside and expel exhaust outside, making them very safe and efficient. Natural vent fireplaces use indoor air for combustion and vent upward through a flue. Vent-free fireplaces require no venting but are subject to strict regulations and are banned in some states due to air quality concerns.
Is a gas fireplace energy efficient?
Gas fireplaces are generally more energy-efficient than traditional wood-burning fireplaces. Direct vent gas fireplaces can achieve efficiency ratings of 70–85%, while some high-efficiency models exceed 90%. They provide consistent, controllable heat without the energy loss associated with an open masonry chimney. Using a gas fireplace as a zone heating source can also reduce your overall heating bills.
What should I look for when hiring a fireplace installer?
Look for contractors who are licensed, insured, and have specific experience with the type of fireplace you’re installing. For gas fireplaces, ensure the installer is certified by the National Fireplace Institute (NFI) or a similar professional body. Check online reviews, ask for references, and request multiple quotes before making a decision. A reputable installer will provide a detailed written estimate and explain the scope of work clearly.
