Does Your Home Need a New Fireplace, Stove, or Gas Appliance?

We have multiple options for installing a new fireplace, stove, or gas appliance, or replacing your old systems:

Gas Fireplace Installation: Looking for a Beautiful, Low-Maintenance Upgrade?

A gas or propane fireplace is one of the easiest ways to add warmth, ambiance, and convenience to your home – without the mess or hassle of a traditional wood-burning system. Whether you’re planning a new installation, replacing an outdated unit, or converting an existing masonry fireplace with an attractive insert, we offer flexible solutions to fit your space and your vision.

We work with trusted brands like Valor, Regency, Ventis, Majestic, and more to provide a wide range of options for both indoor and outdoor use. Whether you want sleek and modern, classic and cozy, or something custom for a specific wall or room layout, we’ll help you find the right fit—and install it professionally. Our team handles all configurations and setup types, so you can enjoy a beautiful, reliable flame at the push of a button.

Wood Stove Installation: 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 –  when the power goes out, you’ll still have a reliable source of heat!

Our team specializes in wood stove installations, ensuring your new stove is expertly installed for maximum performance. 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.

Fireplace Installation: Building New or Upgrading Old? We’ve Got You Covered

Whether you’re starting from scratch or retrofitting an existing setup, we offer quality fireplace solutions designed to improve heat output, last forever, and enhance the overall look and function of your space. From new builds to rebuilds, our team installs a range of high-performance systems that solve common issues like poor draft, smoky rooms, broken systems, or hazardous construction. Many of our products feature industry leading warranties, including lifetime warranties!

We work with leading systems like Ahren-Fire, Forever Fireplace, and PriorFire each designed for specific situations:

  • The Ahren-Fire is a complete system that addresses clearance issues and improves performance with clean, modern design and efficient heat dispersion.
  • The Forever Fireplace features an insulated chimney and sloped smoke chamber for better draft and more heat output than builder-grade fireplaces.
  • The PriorFire delivers tall, “fun to watch” flames with 2–3x the heat of a traditional masonry fireplace, all thanks to its patented “Air Wing” design.

Need a full installation? Want to upgrade an older fireplace? We’ll help you find the right fit that’ll stand the test of time and get it installed professionally—so you can enjoy a better, warmer fire that works the way it should.

Long story short – whatever you need, we have fireplace and chimney solutions for you.

Can I Install a New Fireplace Myself?

We’re never gonna outright tell someone 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.

Here are a few key points to keep in mind:

  • Skill & Experience: Fireplace installations involve handling gas lines, venting systems, and potentially complex masonry work. If you’re not experienced in these areas, mistakes are bound to happen – mistakes that can put your home and family at risk.
  • Building Codes & Permit Requirements: Local building codes and manufacturer instructions have very specific requirements for fireplace installations, including clearance distances, venting needs, and material types. A professional will be familiar with these regulations and can ensure compliance.
  • Safety Concerns: Improperly installed fireplaces can pose serious safety hazards, including fire risks and carbon monoxide exposure. Professionals have the training and knowledge to mitigate these risks effectively. Is it really worth taking a chance with fire in your home in hopes of saving a little on installation costs? We don’t think so.
  • Warranty & Insurance Coverage: Many manufacturers require professional installation to maintain warranty coverage. Additionally, homeowners’ insurance policies may have stipulations regarding DIY installations. We’d hate to see these things become void when you need them the most.

All in all, it’s always best to assess the complexity of the job and consult with a certified and insured chimney professional beforehand. Our specialists 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.

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, creosote, and wildlife debris 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 an insured and certified professional — like us. We’d be happy to lend our services and ensure that the installation is done correctly the first time to maximize safety and efficiency in the long run.
