Signs You May Need Wood-Burning Fireplace Insert Installation
A wood burning fireplace insert is a closed firebox with a glass door that slides into an existing masonry fireplace. It burns wood far more efficiently than an open fire and puts the heat into the room instead of up the chimney. It needs its own liner, run from the insert to the top of the chimney.
- An open fireplace that sends heat up the chimney
- Smoke or drafts from a drafty old fireplace
- A desire to burn wood with the doors closed
- A sound masonry fireplace and chimney
Is the fireplace ready for an insert
Before a wood insert goes in, the fireplace and chimney must be sound: no cracked firebrick that will be hidden behind the insert, no loose masonry, and a chimney tall enough to draw. The hearth extension must meet the insert's requirements, which are often larger than an open fireplace's. We check all of it during the inspection.
Liner and connection
A wood insert needs a liner sized to its outlet, running the full height of the chimney. An insert vented into an oversized clay flue drafts poorly and builds creosote quickly. We install a stainless liner, connect it to the insert collar, seal the top with a plate and cap, and insulate the liner where the listing calls for it.
Wood stove insert installation, finished
The insert is set level on the hearth, connected and sealed, and the surround panel closes the gap to the fireplace face. We light the first fire with you, show you how the air control works and how to load it, and leave the manual and listing documents. Gas and electric inserts are separate jobs: see gas fireplace insert installation. A typical fireplace insert install takes a day once the liner is on site.
