Does Your Home New a New Heating System?
We have multiple options for implementing a new fireplace, stove, or retrofitted unit into your living space:
- Wood Stoves
- PriorFire Fireplace Systems
- AhrenFire Fireplace Systems
- ForeverFireplace Factory-Built Fireplace
Ready To Invest in a New Wood Stove?
A new wood stove is a great upgrade for any home, offering both warmth and energy efficiency during the colder months. Many are drawn to a wood stove because of their rustic charm and timeless aesthetic, but it’s when they find out how reliably and efficiently they heat a space that they’re really sold.
In addition, wood is a great fuel source to utilize as it’s renewable, widely available, and often more affordable than other energy options. Plus, when the power goes out, you’ll still have a reliable source of heat and light.
Our team specializes in wood stove installations, ensuring your new stove is expertly installed for maximum performance and safety. From selecting the right model to getting your new system properly installed right where you need it, we’d love to help you with every step of this process.
Interested in a Masonry Fireplace Restoration? We Can Help
We have a couple options if you’re looking to renovate your current masonry fireplace.
PriorFire Systems
PriorFire Retrofit Fireplaces are known for providing more heat and fewer emissions…and looking great while doing it with tall, enticing flames. How does it do it? It’s mostly to do with its unique “Air Wing” shape, which is different from most traditional masonry setups.
Other perks of these systems? Well, they’re available in three different sizes, so finding the right fit for your home and setup won’t be an issue. They’re also UL listed zero clearance to combustibles with 4” nominal masonry, and they burn hotter, producing 2-3 times more heat than the average fireplace. That results in more warmth in your home, and the chance to really lower those heating bills month to month.
But maybe best of all, they burn cleanly – meaning more efficiency and improved indoor air quality for those in your home.
AhrenFire
AhrenFire fireplace systems are best known for their sleek and modern designs coupled with advanced heating technology. Warmth? Check. Efficiency? Check. Aesthetic appeal? Check.
More pros of these units?
- They can bring older masonry fireplaces up to appropriate safety codes.
- They’re well insulated, ensuring more heat for your space and better system protection.
- They meet strict coding requirements from the UL.
- Installation is relatively easy (when done by a pro).
- Final setups look great, easily replicating the look of real brick.
Get a New Factory-Built Fireplace From ForeverFireplace
ForeverFireplaces are a great option for those looking to either add a new system or replace an old factory-built system.
Why do people love them? For one, they’re designed with an expertly sloped smoke chamber that ensures better draft – that means no smoky living rooms, more warmth pouring into space, and better overall protection. And speaking of design, their fireboxes are extremely well-insulated, ensuring more heat over a wider area. Finally, they have a fully insulated chimney, which means longer-lasting fires, better draft, less ash to clean up, and less emissions.
But what good is more warmth, less mess, and better air quality if the system has to be replaced shortly down the road? Well, with a ForeverFireplace, this isn’t an issue. They’re long-lasting units, guaranteeing years of enjoyment with proper upkeep. Need proof? They come with a lifetime warranty against rust or corrosion to the system, meaning you can rest easier for, well…a lifetime!
Can I Install a New Fireplace Myself?
We’re never gonna outright tell a customer what they can or cannot do…but do we recommend this? Definitely not. Installing a new fireplace is a complex task that requires careful consideration of building codes, safety regulations, and technical expertise. Think…compliance with safety regulations, intricate handling of gas lines (if applicable), installing ventilation systems, and sometimes even some masonry work. And unless you have specific expertise in these areas (like, ahem, some qualified local experts we know), the risk of error is high – and mistakes could jeopardize the safety of your home and family.
Installing a fireplace also requires strict adherence to local building codes and permit requirements. These regulations cover everything from ventilation needs to clearance requirements and materials used.
Additionally, many fireplace manufacturers require professional installation to keep warranties valid. Attempting a DIY installation could void these warranties, leaving you unprotected – and fully responsible for any additional costs – if something goes wrong. A similar issue could come up with your homeowners insurance, leaving you without coverage in case of an accident.
All in all, it’s always best to assess the complexity of the job and consult with a certified chimney technician beforehand. Our professionals would be happy to provide guidance, ensuring the safety and comfort of your space – and ultimately, helping you achieve the best results for your home.
Whether you need a fireplace installed from nothing or your current fireplace upgraded, we’ve got the tools and skills to set you up right. Ask us about setting you up with an efficient heating system that’ll stand the test of time, or about ways to get more efficiency from your current setup. We also sell electric options.
Long story short – whatever you need, we have fireplace and chimney solutions for you. Looking to get in touch with our service techs? We’re here for you – call, book online, or send us a text today.
What (If Any) Chimney Components Can I Install Myself?
Installing certain chimney components yourself can be feasible…depending on your skills and local regulations. That said, before starting any DIY project, ensure you have a full and thorough understanding of any building codes or laws regarding chimney installations or modifications.
In addition, use appropriate safety gear and take precautions to avoid accidents. Working on a chimney involves heights and potential exposure to soot and creosote, so investing in the best protection is a must.
As far as the actual installation process goes, knowing the ins and outs of the system and how to get these components fitted exactly is imperative. Take a chimney cap, for example – even a minor installation flaw can invite water in bit by bit…until suddenly you have a hefty repair job on the calendar (and a big dent in your bank account). In this case, hiring a professional from the start – though more expensive initially – would have actually saved you money over time.
If you’re unsure about the complexity of the installation or have any doubts about safety or compliance, it’s wise to consult with a licensed chimney professional – like us. We’d be happy to lend our services and ensure that the installation is done correctly to maximize safety and efficiency in the long run.
