Fireplace Insert Installation

A fireplace insert is a heating unit set into an existing masonry fireplace. Fireplace insert installation places that unit and connects it to a liner sized for it, so the old open firebox becomes a closed appliance.

The work

What is fireplace insert installation?

The masonry fireplace and the flue are inspected first. An insert needs a liner that matches the unit, run through the existing chimney. The surround closes the gap between the insert and the old opening. The old damper is removed or locked open so it cannot shut the new flue.

A brand-new fireplace where there is no opening is fireplace installation. The liner itself is liner installation.

Why it matters

Why this work matters

An open masonry fireplace loses heat up the flue. An insert is one way to heat with that same chimney, but only if the liner and the clearances match the unit. Setting a box in the opening with no liner is not this installation.

The chimney has to be sound enough to carry the liner. If it is not, that repair comes first.
